DJ Website examples..or Blog...whats yours?

treeo730 3:15 AM 15 March 2010
Hey guys I was looking to see what kind of blogs or websites you have created. I'm looking to redo mine, I like the blog style personally as I'm going to set mine up more as a podcast. I have a jump to Facebook fanpage I'm setting up as well. But I'm curious to see what other ideas people have. I have a Blogger account as that was easy and cheap

Here's some examples of sites I think looked good:

www.danideahl.com good splash page, takes you to different sites.
www.danideahl.com her blog, what player is she using????
www.djsteveporter.com another good splash page
www.djjazzyjeff.com I like
www.djskribble.com another good splash page
www.djvadim.com I like the style here

I think a splashpage is what I'm going to do... Curious to see what you guys have.
Black Science 3:25 AM 15 March 2010
Just revamped this one. It's about 95% complete. www.blackscience.com
Black Science 3:38 AM 15 March 2010
^^^^ God damn no edit button on this forum :ughhhh: Anyway, here's rest of post.

Here's mine that was just revamped [url]www.blackscience.com[/url]. Still need to drop in the weblog content and tidy up a few other bits, but the core is done. Pretty much covers all my current requirements. Not sure if it has the elements that you may need/want, but might spark some ideas. Hope it helps. Here's a breakdown on content:

About
Ughh, I hate DJ bios. They're usually just a bunch of nonsense that pretty much all starts sounding the same after a while, but unfortunately they're a necessary evil for letting those who don't know you a bit about who you are and what you're about. So anyway, I've got some general blah, blah fluff followed by data on experience, gear, press, affiliations, etc.

Events
Chronological list of happenings that provides all relevant info. Clickable thumbnails of flyers expand to full view. Links to venues' locations via Google Maps, social networking sharing tools, etc.

Mixes
Random list of my mixes showing various styles, genres, moods, etc. These will update from time to time with new and old archived mixes cycled in/out. Mix titles followed by brief description, recorded location/date, length, bitrate. Links to tracklists, download source file location and social networking sharing tools. Clickable thumbnails of cover art expand to full view. Built-in audio player for listening via stream direct from website.

Weblog
This is an area I'll be using to post my DIY projects, equipment/tracks/etc. reviews, and other such things I might be interested in and want to share that are DJ culture related. This will be a one-way only weblog for now meaning no outside user interaction. Might change this later to full two-way user interaction, but just don't have the time right now to babysit it and commit to that much involvement. Includes lightbox galleries, soc net sharing tools, etc.

Booking
Simple email form for booking inquiries that includes fields for all pertinent info.

Contact
Email form for general inquiries and list of links to all my primary social network sites (Facebook, MySpace, SoundCloud, Twitter, etc.)

Chart
Snapshot of the top ten tracks that are currently doing it for me. List includes artist, title, mix and label for each entry.

Mailing List
Simple name/email collector for anyone to subscribe that who may want to keep up on what's going on via email.

Highlights
Static graphic links along side that showcase mixes, events, etc. that I may want to call attention to for extra promo.

Very nice, nice and clean. I like how you have a very specific layout for events, mixes, it makes things easier on the eyes, and looks very professional.

What player are you using for your mixes?
What do you use to make the pics expand?
Curious was host are you using? was looking at Bluehost personally or Fatcow

Thanks again, hopes this helps other guys here too..
Psyphris 3:48 AM 15 March 2010
Your pics for the custom flight case are the most amazing shit for a case. Wow. I am doing that as soon as finals are over. you are the man Scotty Mac. The F''in man.

This is a newer one I did. I went back to a very basic, easy to maintain site. For some reason I got really sick of the flashy, music, loud dj sites that it seems like everybody has now-a-days.

Good Stuff!!

DJ Kermit, what player are you using for your music. That is the type of audio player I want to incorporate into my website.

Thanks. Glad you dig it.

Audio player is just a simple WordPress one that I tweaked the color scheme to fit the aesthetics of site. wpaudioplayer.com

Pics expand via a NextGEN lightbox plugin. alexrabe.de

Hosting is all handled by GoDaddy. www.godaddy.com

Glad you dig it Psyphris. Hope to have the DIY content posted soon. In meantime, there's an extensive thread about it somewhere here on this forum that covers much of the details. Ah, here it is: www.serato.com (I'm formerly Soulsonica BTW), and here: www.djforums.com

Hope it helps with your project. Post pics when done.

I like the video of you at the Apple store.

Good site!
SiRocket 2:06 AM 16 March 2010
thanks guys! went from the fully custom flash type of site to a wordpress customized to my liking for now as i want to start having return visitors. :)
treeo730 2:19 AM 16 March 2010
I was debating about going with wordpress or blogger, it seems being someone who doesn't know anything about html blogger is an easier way to go and maintain.

What I can't find is a way to incorporate the audio player,and the picture display like www.blackscience.com has. He did post hear the link for wordpress, just can't find a similar way to do it for Blogger.
Black Science 4:04 PM 16 March 2010
No sweat treeo730. Good luck with your project.

Steve Dub. 8:22 PM 16 March 2010
No doubt Ricky, not in a big rush, I know your a busy dude that's why I haven't bugged ya about it.
Dj Shamann 9:30 PM 16 March 2010
SiRocket I saw your site before, but i also like the one for "The Show". There are some other good ones in here that are giving me motivation, I've been meaning to get myself a new homebase on the web, but school loan payments are killing me, and I'm color blind as fuck so graphic design was never something I got into, I'm severely limited there.
treeo730 9:53 PM 16 March 2010
We have some really talented people here!

This is what I was able to create really quickly on Blogger. They actually make it pretty easy for someone with NO experience.
djtonyramirez.blogspot.com
This is more of place where I want people to grab my mixes... I still have to find a host and set it up as a podcast...

Thanks again guys.

maestromind 8:37 PM 1 April 2010
So I'm doubly embarrassed to even put this up (first because the design is crap and second because my pic looks like I should be spinning at bar-mitzvahs), but here's my site that I made over a weekend a while back: www.themaestromind.com.
I keep having it on my to-do list to redesign it, but for the last few months I've had no free time. From the looks of it though, it sounds like I need to give DJ Ricky a holla - the sites he made look amazing.

how did you get your Ustream player in your Wix site?
can you also Embed a Stickam Player?

i have a Wix page im working on and guess they changed things but you wernt able to Enbbed Ustream or Stickam pages before..
DJ PopRoXXX 8:28 PM 24 May 2010
yeah. they have a html option (still in BETA though). it's under the widgets options i believe. then you just make sure the size of the box matches the size of the embed in the embed code you want to drop in it.

thanks for the props bro. still working on it. updates will keep coming :)

I am using word press and I tell you it was hard at first trying to figure out what the heck I was doing but now I have a good idea of how to get around in it so I am trying to improve it as much as I can. If you get a chance, please check it out and feel free to give me input on things I can change, add, or delete. Thanks in advance.

Honestly, My DJ career isn't interesting enough to start a blog based soley on my djing.

So instead of just posting about playing at the same bars every week, I started a blog based on total randomness where I blog about: music, sports, DJing, Nintendo games, or any other idea or subject I feel like writing about.

Nice site and content Nature.

What's your production setup? I notice a maschine pic on your banner.

I'm about to drop some cash on Logic Pro. Can't believe it's down to only £140 now on the Mac App Store as a download. That's seriously good value! Only a few months back I was contemplating buying it in store and it was £500
