EPK for DJs: make your next pitch clear
A DJ electronic press kit should explain your sound, show how you play and make booking contact easy. Start with one representative mix, not every link you own. You do not need original releases or a long gig history to introduce your DJ project honestly.
Lead with the set you are pitching
Put your artist name, city and country near the top. Describe your selection and energy in one line: genres, influences and the kind of set you want to play. Explain whether this is a DJ set, a live electronic performance or a hybrid. These formats are not interchangeable, especially when a venue plans equipment and changeovers.
If you can play a warm-up or closing set, describe how you approach that role. Do not claim to suit every room. Keep the page focused on your actual sound, then explain the fit with this particular event in your pitch.
Choose one mix people can actually hear
Link directly to a mix on SoundCloud, Mixcloud or another listening page, rather than your profile homepage. Label its style, duration, recording date and context: home recording, radio session or live set. A home-recorded mix is useful; do not present it as a club recording. Choose something that represents the set you are offering now, even if another upload has more plays.
Open the listening link without signing in and check whether playback is available to the recipient. If useful, mention a timestamp where the direction changes, but avoid making the listener hunt for your sound. Add a second mix only when it shows a genuinely different set option. Include live footage if you have permission to share it and the audio is useful.
Write a bio without padding your experience
A short bio should explain where you are based, what you select and what shapes your approach. A longer bio can add real radio sessions, collective work, past events or releases, with supporting links. Distinguish playing at an event from attending it, and a guest mix from a residency. If you are starting out, describe the music instead of inventing bookings or press quotes.
Producing your own tracks? Add one current key release with its title, date and direct listening link. If you only DJ, leave the release section out and make the mix your listening priority. For the wider structure, use our EPK section guide.
Make the practical details easy to find
Include the email you actually check, or your authorised booking contact, with your base city and country. State realistic travel availability if it matters to the pitch. Add a usable press photo or download link, with permission and the photographer's credit where required. Check shared-folder access without signing in; a private folder is not a usable press asset.
Keep essential equipment requirements brief, especially for vinyl or hybrid sets. Provide a separate technical rider when requested; do not bury the listening link under an equipment list. Follow the venue's submission instructions if they require a PDF, a form or specific technical details. Your web EPK supports that submission rather than replacing it.
Your checklist before sending
- Artist name, location, sound and set format are clear near the top.
- The lead mix opens directly, plays without a required account and has context and duration.
- The bio uses only real experience; any release or event claim has a supporting link.
- Booking contact is current, and press assets are accessible with permission to use them.
- Essential setup needs are clear; any requested rider or submission format is supplied separately.
- The page reads on your phone, and every music, video and contact link has been checked.
Send the EPK link with a short, relevant introduction naming the event and the set you are proposing. Do not send an unexplained link or promise that a press kit will get you booked.
