Do you mean this in a promotional way, to promote yourself as a dj?

Ait oke, well I think Facebook is the best tool to spread your mixes/tracks when starting as a dj. Just for the simple reason almost all the people I know are on the platform. I use Soundcloud to upload my sets, but also read some good stories about mixcloud. So my advice is to find a place where you can easily upload your music and spread it on the social platform most of your friends are on.

After that the first thing to do is build a website, doesn’t have to be difficult. Just a simple website with your contact details, music and a link to facebook is a good start. When you’re playing somewhere you can tell people to go to your website where they can find everything they need. After the website is done you can always add other platforms like twitter etc.

Yeah perfect, you’ve got yourself an new follower btw. Only thing that I’m not a fan of is linking al those platforms. Twitter has to be short and summarily. Facebook has to be more personal and more info, so dont let facebook automatically copy your tweets. Try to think through which info you want to send out via the different portals.

For instance you upload a new recording to soundcloud. Put it on facebook with a playlist and maybe a story behind the mix. And tweet something like: New set online including playlist + url. Now you’ve used the different platforms in their own way.

Yeah there’s way more interaction on facebook, people are more active etc.
