Why Every DJ Should Be Recording Their Sets (And How Evermix Makes It Effortless)
From playing in your bedroom and warming up at a local club to livestreaming from home or headlining a festival, recording your DJ sets should be part of your routine.
Recording your mixes doesn't just help you improve behind the decks, it creates valuable content that helps grow your audience, showcase your sound and ultimately get more DJ bookings.
At Djoid, we're passionate about helping DJs stay organised and perform with confidence. That's why we've partnered with Evermix, the easiest way to record, livestream and share your DJ sets, directly from your phone.
Why Recording Your DJ Sets Is Vital
One of the fastest ways to become a better DJ is by listening back to your own performances.
You'll hear transitions that could be tighter, identify moments where energy could have been built differently and spot technical mistakes that often go unnoticed. You'll also discover standout transitions and creative moments worth recreating!
How Evermix Works:
Connect the EvermixBox and record audio, video or stream to your phone for instant playback, with support for:
- 192kbps MP3
- 320kbps MP3
- Uncompressed WAV
Automatic attenuation keeps every recording clean, balanced and free from distortion.
How Recording Your Sets Gets You More DJ Gigs
One of the most searched questions from aspiring DJs is:
"How do I get more DJ gigs?"
The answer is simple: give promoters something to listen to. Clubs, festivals, radio stations, promoters and booking agents all want to hear what you sound like before booking you.
By consistently recording and sharing your DJ sets, you build a portfolio that showcases:
- Your mixing ability
- Track selection
- Energy
- Programming
- Technical skills
- Musical identity
From sending a Mixcloud link to a promoter to pitching a guest mix for radio or looking to play at a festival, having professionally recorded mixes immediately makes you more credible.
How to Promote Yourself as a DJ
Being a great DJ is only half the battle. Successful DJs build audiences by consistently putting content into the world.
Recording every set means you're always creating assets for:
- TikTok
- YouTube Shorts
- Mixcloud
- SoundCloud
- Booking applications
- Radio submissions
- Electronic press kits
Instead of one hour spent behind the decks, you now have weeks of content to keep your audience engaged.
Grow Your DJ Audience Through Content
Like it or not, today's music industry rewards creators who consistently publish.
Creating your own community, collaborating with artists, networking and sharing performances are some of the most effective ways to grow your audience and unlock opportunities at clubs, festivals, radio shows and events.
Evermix turns every DJ set into multiple pieces of content.
Rather than juggling laptops, cameras and separate audio interfaces, use the in app video and finish your set with:
- A professionally recorded mix
- Perfectly synced video
- Files ready for editing
- Instant social content
Upload directly to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Mixcloud or SoundCloud and keep your audience engaged between gigs while reaching new listeners.
One one-hour DJ set can generate weeks of valuable content.
