For curators, editors, bookers, and supervisors
Every kit measured. Nothing inflated.
You get hundreds of press kits a month, and most of them oversell. Thermal is the opposite pipeline: each artist's kit is written from measurements of the actual track and the artist's own facts, with the hype stripped before it reaches you.
Tempo, key, dynamics, texture, and energy are measured on the artist's device. The kit's sonic claims come from the track itself, not from the artist's adjectives.
Each claim traces to a measurement or to something the artist stated as fact. Pages that carry the "Read by Thermal" mark show their evidence at the bottom.
Artists opt in to the directory. There is no pay-to-rank, no boosted placement, and the heat number is a measured reading, not a purchased score.
The directory is open now. Browse the reads, open a few, and check the receipts at the foot of any page.
The curator preview
A tighter view for working gatekeepers: new reads in your lane, filters by sound and heat, and a weekly shortlist, before it ships. Free while it is in preview; it stays useful because artists keep publishing.
