An EPK that plays your music — not a PDF
The electronic press kit, rebuilt as a listening page. One link, full release.
7-day free trial · No credit card required · $49/year afterAn electronic press kit is what you send when a curator, journalist, or A&R asks for music. The old version is a PDF bio plus a Dropbox folder of WAVs — clunky to open, easy to ignore, impossible to track. Gatefolded’s EPK builder turns the same content into a single page with the music playing inline, lyrics, credits, photos, streaming links, and a contact button.
The recipient hits one link, presses play, and stays. You see who listened and what held attention.

Dropbox link expiry and password protection require a paid Dropbox plan; even then, recipients open a generic file-share page rather than a music-aware EPK.
When should I switch?
You’re pitching to press or playlist curators
Curators get hundreds of pitches a week. A clean listening page beats “here’s a PDF and a Dropbox link.” The first three seconds are music, not a download dialog.
You’re sending unreleased tracks to A&R
Lock the page behind an email allowlist or a password. Set it to expire after 14 days. Get an alert every time someone listens. Revoke access in one click if a meeting goes sideways.
You want to know who actually listened
Per-recipient access logs show plays, completions, and drop-off points. Follow up the people who finished the EP — skip the ones who never opened it.
You’re tired of rebuilding the same EPK
Update tracks, photos, or your bio once. Every share link reflects the change immediately. No more emailing “please use this new version” corrections.
