In this Edition... 
Feature: Promo Only Most everyone understands how music finds its audience: radio, YouTube, Spotify and a host of other streaming services license a song from a label and let rabid repeat exposure do their dirty work: we're hooked; it's a hit; end of story, right? Not always. Especially if you're an artist who wants the payday that maximum exposure provides, which is where our unique ability to deliver multi-tiered promotion on a global scale significantly tips the scales in favor of the artists we're proud to service. Promo Only Inc. Orlando FL The DJ Difference While radio certainly has a major place in the launch of any new song, and is central to the promotion we provide, the music you're hearing isn't meant for mere listening; it's meant for moving - at nightclubs and any event where dancing is encouraged. Our exclusive DJ-friendly Intro Edits, Dance Edits and Clean Edits (which lend themselves to stations and events where a track might not otherwise be playable) play a key role in helping DJs connect audiences viscerally to the energy of a new track, a strategy proven to extend a song's appeal well beyond the radio dial. Promo Only Promotions NYC Targeted Promotion to Key Radio Stations & Mixshow DJs With over 30 years of combined industry experience, and a client list that includes the promotion of Janet Jackson, Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Cascada, Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, David Morales, Deep Dish, Ultra Nate', David Guetta, and Justin Timberlake, Promo Only Promotions' ability to secure airplay and deliver targeted feedback gives artists and their labels the concentrated push required to effectively impact radio.

Spotlight: DJ Groups | Blogs In practice even the most prestigious groups can find themselves mired in one-upsmanship and mob-mentality that renders any meaningful dialogue impossible - to everyone's mutual loss. We support the on-going education available via online DJ communities, and hope you will, too, by following a few simple tips designed to keep standards high and distractions at a minimum wherever you may choose to gather... #1. It's a pretty safe bet that most common questions have been asked - and answered - especially on a well-established site. Rather than impose upon a group with yet another round of Mac vs. PC, Serato vs VDJ, scrims vs no scrims, standing or sitting, food or no food questions, saddle up the SEARCH function, input a keyword or two, and find the answers you're looking for yourself. Your fellow members will appreciate it - and you. #2.If a search doesn't turn up the answer, by all means ask but be specific. Not only are you much more likely to get the answer you're looking for, but you'll leave a trail that others can follow, via search, again and again. #3. Contribute! Don't be a lurker. Like the post. Share the post. Add to the post. You'll get more out of a group by participating. #4. Realize that the combined knowledge of a group, while extensive, has its limits, as does the time fellow members and moderators have to spend taking you from bedroom DJ to wedding DJ professional. If you really want to learn more about the nuts and bolts of DJing, attend a conference or performance-training seminar and come to the group ready to swap info as an equal. #5. Leave your ego at the door. Nothing kills the spirit of sharing like pointless chest-thumping. Act with consideration and you'll be treated with consideration. And who knows - maybe make a friend or two while you learn a thing or two. Special thanks to DJ Idea Sharing's Moderators for their help in assembling this article. facebook.com/groups/djideasharing
Digital DJ Tips Presents... If you've yet to have someone explain how it was to DJ back in the vinyl days, this list contains some of the timeless wisdom gained by vinyl DJs that I hope will help you on your digital journey, too! 1. Get to know your music well - Believe it or not, music used to be scarce. Scarce and expensive. As you slowly built your record collection you learned each tune inside out. This process helps immeasurably in your appreciation of your music, and your ability to mix it. Take the time to listen to each new tune, and don't gather them quite so enthusiastically. Less is more. 2. Pack a great set - The idea of taking all your music to your gigs back in the vinyl days would have been ridiculous. So we used to soul-search before a gig. What comes? What stays? What did this crowd like last time? What risky tunes should I take nonetheless? This planning and packing our "final 80" led o more free-flowing and confident sets, just like reviewing for an exam makes it easier comes exam day. So take time to "pack" a set, even though it's just a smart playlist or virtual crate. 3. Make it visual - In the vinyl days we'd quickly search for the bright red cover, or the white label near the back of the box, or the double-pack that had a thicker spine than everything else. We'd often literally do it by feel. It was fast and intuitive. That's all lost in digital, with its cold lists and filenames. Bring some of that back. Find the artwork for your tunes, and set your software to show it. It'll make everything more intuitive and more fun when you're DJing. We are visual creatures. Capitalize on that. 4. Tricks don't make the DJ - Back in the vinyl days, in clubs all over the land, DJs weren't looping, cue juggling, using myriad FX, slicers and filters, and all the rest. No, the vast majority were playing one tune after another, hopefully in a great order ("programming") and sounding smooth together ("mixing"). Remember that this is still what's really important: Work on your programming and mixing first and foremost, then add tricks...
