Press kits & EPKs
DJ EPK and press kit: how DJs get booked and featured
A DJ press kit is mainly a booking tool. Promoters want to hear a mix, see a crowd and know which venues and festivals you have played. Music writers want the same things plus a story: residencies, original productions and label releases set you apart from every other DJ in the inbox.
What to include
- A recent mix. One 60-minute mix that represents your current sound, streaming in the page.
- Original productions. Releases and labels, with links.
- Gig history. Residencies, clubs and festivals, with the most notable first.
- Live photos and video. Behind the decks with a full room.
- Short bio. Sound, scene and highlights in about 80 words.
- Technical rider. Your preferred setup.
- Booking contact. Agent or direct email.
Tips
- Update the mix every few months.
- Crowd footage sells a DJ better than any bio.
Mistakes to avoid
- Too many mixes. Pick one.
- Photos without a crowd in view.
A press kit needs a pitch
Nobody finds a press kit by accident. Link it from a short, personal email to the writers and editors who cover you. InsightFuse finds those people by beat and country and sends the pitches from your own inbox.
