You've not invested any effort in Hardcore from what I can see. The only genre I've mixed which could be classed as commercial EDM, is the Mainstream. That isn't quite the typical EDM either. The other two genres are House and Tech House, which I wouldn't class as EDM.

Maybe not so much EDM, as I'm getting some decent EDM bookings, but you get my gist! It really doesn't matter about genre. I try and put out a couple of mixes a month whatever genre. Occasionally might put out a third if I find a mix I've forgotten about, but less is more. Whether it is a live feed or a mix it is over-saturation of your name if it is out there a lot. I never see big names of any genre putting out more than one or two mixes a month, usually one, unless they have a weekly radio show. Do what you like mate, do a live mix every day for all I care. Personally I'd use some of that time to send mixes out to promoters, make contact and generally chat to people. Promoters are not going to flock to a live feed to check DJs out. But what do I know.

The FB lives are a good way of getting my name out there. Thing is, most of the feeds get deleted for copyright issues. So unless you're tuning into the live feed, there isn't much in the way of the FB live feed staying up afterwards. So I think I'm safe in that regard. I'm just having fun with my kit. Like, I've got over 2500 House records to play, and that's just the House section! So all the live feeds will have different content. It's not like I'm playing the same tunes over and over again. Also I'm using a different name to my DJ Sketchy name.

They all sound like commercial EDM to me. But again, what would I know. Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 04-04-2017 14:46 PM Latex Zebra Yeah, something is probably happening somewhere.

So I should be safe Do what you like, just trying to offer some advice. I am going to stop bothering though as clearly you know everything about everything. Perhaps you could offer me some advice. I'd really like to be a DJ and Promoter... Can you tell me what I need to do.

Can you tell me what I need to do. Don't be like that, LZ! We are having a discussion here. You said about your concern with over exposing myself and jeopardizing bookings. Well I have the same concerns. Just I think I should be safe with how I'm going about things.
