Feeding DJs

Give your tunes to a friend who’s a DJ. If you don’t have any friends who are DJs, make friends with a DJ, then give your DJ friend a copy. If you can’t make friends with a DJ, become a DJ and play your own tunes.

More seriously, if you don’t have mates who DJ, you’re not going to have a lot of luck getting your stuff played without the kind of serious promotion a label can do on your behalf, so it’s back to the age-old question of how to get labels interested in your music…

Posting the here is a start. Lot’s of DJ’s use this site.

echoing a bit of what’s been said:
websites
forums (!) seriously, especially if you’re on a mix forum…regularly post mixes up and you’ll get a group of people who go out of their way every month to make a comment on your mixes…after a while you may get someone interested in your tunes.

Playing out. When you do, don’t just drop your whole tune and that’s that…play a little, and put snippets in here and there, the memory friendly parts are best, then towards the end of your set drop the whole thing. Works well to plant it into folks heads.

And yeah, DJ friends…or if you frequent a place enough that you know the DJ, have a word and give him/her a cd of your track. Next time you see them, drop it in the convo but don’t go nuts it’s likely they probably haven’t gotten round to it and want to or don’t have time at the moment.

If you’ve got money. Press out some dubplates.

And if you’re super cheeky….when a big DJ is playing and you’re playing before/after them, put it innocently in their record bag. (make sure your contact details are on it and readable. don’t leave it as a one-sided whitelabel with no cat No. or nothing…)

go to a club that plays the type of music you make (try to be sub genre specific with this) walk up to the dj booth, hand him your cd and say ssomthing like: hey check out these tracks I produced when you have the chance!
you never know, he might spin your music the next week…

[quote quote="DJ Coppy":pq140jxl]share your files on **** NO P2P DISCUSSION ****. that mite be riskful cuz ppl can change names…
But I know this DJ Cammy. he’s a happyhardcorer too
he shared his files and he bcame very known on the internet..
well he aint got skillz at all! his beatmatching is only crap[/quote:pq140jxl]

Oh God, DJ Cammy… Let Cammy be a lesson to everybody… if you spread your creations (whether good or bad) (and also note that I still have not signified Cammy as being a good or bad DJ) all over the place, they will eventually be heard one way or another.

I do have one Cammy song in my collection… but I also started focusing on Trance/Dance/Hip Hop sets shortly thereafter…

djing is probably 80% networking and 20% skill if you have no connects have fun djing in your room!

whitelabel.net – it’s a subscription service for dj’s and radio personalities. Basically, it’s a place to upload/download the latest releases and remixes of stuff that is about to hit the ‘shelves’ and be a hit. Or a potential one. Kinda like Promo Only, but more options.

They have the option to crate your own profile and upload your songs. Only thing there is, they can only be played at full quality when connected to serato, traktor, etc. Good luck!

Lemme listen to it and I’ll see. Let’s see if you got what it takes to breakthrough in Sweden!
