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..

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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..
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.

I'm about to drop some cash on Logic Pro. Can't believe it's down to only Β£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 Β£500

Nice site, very easy to use and find information. I see your using DJ Intelligence. Been using them for years, love it. But it seems like clients have gotten lazier and lazier. In past years as soon as I would send them their log-in info they would start putting in requests and filling out the timeline and stuff. Most of my events for the last year or so when I tell them "you know there's a month/couple of weeks before your event and you haven't put in any requests" they have been like "it's okay we trust you with the music selection". I guess that's a great thing but at the same time I like to use their requests as a guideline on what they would like to hear.

www.wix.com This is the first time I created my own site. I even added the music player to my internet radio show. Can you guy let me know what you think? Thanks

Problem with Wix is that it's all Flash based so on some mobile browsers and PC's that are stuck in the past (like my work PC right now) it won't work or display anything.
KarbonSOUNDZ 4:02 PM - 9 March, 2012
Yea @DjayRage, I have noticed that. Any suggestions? I would appreciate it if you had any

updated my logo... and hence, my website (well, a little bit)

www.djsixxx.info

"Hip hop" and "True Hip Hop" lulz
Nice logo though Six.


I just updated my website again. It's actually a wordpress blog... but you can't really tell. ;)

I was going to "hip hop" rap instead. I think I should. And just keep true hip hop as hip hop.... you know that good ol' debate. lol

I just cancelled my wix subscription after 2 years. :)

I re-created my own website using wordpress on my own domain. No more flash. I'm actually happy about that. It's not complete though. I'd like to add background music.
DjayRage 4:19 PM - 9 March, 2012
Not too sure about any free solutions like that besides using something like Blogspot or Blogger.
I prefer to use my own URL/Domain so I installed Wordpress on my site (because it's so easy to post new items, is very customizable and search engine friendly). You can get some good deals on domains and hosting if you shop around. My current host had a deal going on the other day so I jumped on it. Paid $35 for a new domain and to host my site for a year.

Sixxx I would change that Video Mixes page to unpublished until you add some content on there. There's a bunch of free plug ins to add background music, I turned it off on my site because it was making it load a little slower. I may turn it back on though later.
If you use Soundcloud there's plug-ins/widgets for that or you can look for plug-ins that let you host your own mp3 or video file and use that.

This is exactly what I just did 48 hours ago. :) Loving it!

I've never used wordpress before and at first, I had no idea what to do to modify their templates... but with a lot of reading, I got it looking nice. nm

That's an excellent point. I had no idea you can do that? See? Learning something new everyday. I also just learned that you can "time" stuff to be published on its own. So, that way, if I want to post a mix next week, it will appear on its own but I can upload it today.

I've never used soundcloud because I've heard they're blocking a lot of mixes nowadays. :/

I just read on adding music to it. Should be fairly simple. Thanks for the advice!
DjayRage 4:30 PM - 9 March, 2012
By the way here's my new site so far. Took me a couple of days (started last week).
www.djrage.net
The photos on the homepage are generated randomly every time the page loads and they come from my Facebook albums (I can pick and choose which albums to display or hide). That free plug-in is called Fotobook. I just went in the code and customized it a little.
I still have to figure out how to make the Subscribe button fit withing the widget window and the RSS feeds are also not displaying properly for items that have long names/titles.
Any other feedback guys and gals?
sixxx 4:32 PM - 9 March, 2012
Just changed that Video Mixes page to unpublished. Took me a few seconds. Man, loving wordpress. Also, being able to do this from anywhere is nice. I used to design pages back in the day with software and I had to be at home to be able change/add stuff. That was the reason why I changed to wix (mainly), then started hating it after hearing many people complaining about flash.
DjayRage 4:36 PM - 9 March, 2012
Yup I have a Soundcloud page but haven't updated it in a while because they deleted some of my mixes.
I really need to teach myself graphic design. I had to pay someone $40 to design that banner for me. That's more than what I paid for the domain and for a year of hosting on my site lol

Oh by the way Sixxx there's a free plugin that converts your site to a mobile version when someone visits from their cell phones mobile browser. Go to my site from your phone to check it out (I still have to customize that more).
Let me log in to my Wordpress and find the name of that plug-in.

I think you're going to have to go into the code and edit it there. I'm new to wordpress so can't tell you exactly how. lol

I eliminated all the dates from mine cause I don't like it looking like a blog. I also eliminated the bottom thing that said what kind of template I was using.

I noticed one of your posts says "posted in DJ tips" but I don't see that on the top menus. Is there no page for that? It would be nice to click on that. I'm actually working on a DJ ETIQUETTE page right now.
DjayRage 4:41 PM - 9 March, 2012
Here's that plug-in.
wordpress.org
WP Touch
I found a few other plug-ins that do similar things (one even turns your site into an App that gets submitted into the Apple and Android app stores) but those were all not free plug-ins, some of them were several hundred bucks.

Yeah. I'm a graphics designer by trade so it's easy to just go and do anything I want. That cassette tape that's on my mixes page was created in illustrator like 10 years ago. I got to use it again. lol

Thanks on that mobile plug-in. I'm going to look into that. They added that to wix about 6 months ago and I kinda liked it. Though they didn't have many templates.
sixxx 4:46 PM - 9 March, 2012
Just checked your website using my phone. I really like that plug in. I"m going to check into it. Thanks for the link!
sixxx 4:47 PM - 9 March, 2012
Love the fact that you can switch back and forth at the bottom without having to go into your phone settings.
DjayRage 4:50 PM - 9 March, 2012
Yeah that's part of my theme's style sheet. Gonna have to brush up on my CSS coding and play around in there. Another thing I like about Wordpress is that I can use that preview button to double check any changes before going live.
Yeah I didn't add the categories in the top menu yet because I don't have that much content on there yet. Thanks for reminding me though. I completely forgot about the categories.
There's so much stuff out there for Wordpress. Yesterday I was looking at subscription widgets (the free one I use now from Jetpack isn't that customizable) and next thing I know I had spent a few hours at work looking at all these different solutions lol
It's almost like when your on Youtube and you go through related videos. Four hours later your slowly backing away from the computer, wiping everything down with clorox wipes and realizing you will be having trouble sleeping that night :0

No problem.

I actually installed it and had it running already. I even added my own icon but I need to modify my logo since their mobile background on the top menu is dark so black on dark doesn't show up well.

I also need to mess with it so my text is not all messed up looking. Since, I don't have much time to mess with it today. I disabled it for now.

Thanks again though.

Much love to DjayRage & sixxx, thanks for taking the time to point me in the right direction. If your ever in Denver hit me up. Are you guys on twitter? Good people are hard to find
DjayRage 9:13 PM - 9 March, 2012
Yeah www.twitter.com
I was actually supposed to be in Denver this weekend (relative passed away), but they needed financial help covering some of the medical and funeral expenses so I sent them the loot I'd be spending on round trip tickets for me and my wife instead.

@DjayRage - you're site is blocked for those of us trying to access it at work (me). According to "Webroot" web security, it is recognized as "Adult_and_Pornography".
DjayRage 7:37 PM - 13 March, 2012
Ha thanks let me look into it. My site's only been up a couple of weeks and it's already blocked? WTF...
I wonder if it's the Twitter widget I have on there causing it. Can you access Twitter from work? I know at school it used to be blocked because it was categorized as such.
DjayRage 8:01 PM - 13 March, 2012
So I looked up that URL on Waybackmachine and looks like some DJ from Connecticut had that URL before. He had an area on his website called "picture of the week" and some of those pictures were slightly NSFW. Looks like I may have to find a way to contact Webroot and have them recheck my site so they can give me the all clear.

By the way if anyone else ever comes across this problem, this is the link you need to contact Webroot.

^Nice. I would cut some of the spacing in the wording you have at the top though, or add some kind of box/frame around it. That might make it look a little better.

Thanks, I was trying to figure that out but got frustrated and left it as is.

Meant that for DJ K. Smith
DJ Sonny D that's pretty dope. I stopped using DMX years ago because it was a little too much work (not worth the effort for most of my gigs). I bookmarked your site as I may be considering that approach you took in the future as all my lights are DMX compatible and I noticed that there's even wireless DMX now. Thanks

Just found this thread at Google. Believe it or not, I enjoy planning, mixing and recording my own dj sets for uploading for a few friends that like my taste and maybe someone new to listen, with mixcloud later changes people that just want to listen to music find it harder and I'm getting less plays

Does someone's using his own portal for this and can tell me how and where to start please?
