[...] If you’re giving out mix CDs bring at least 400-500 copies. You will go through them all. You should make sure that you do not bring any of these back home with you. Put them in the hands of other DJs, promoters, producers, vocalists and fans. Don’t discriminate and please make sure your name and contact info is on the CD on a label of some kind and not hand written. I’ve gotten great mix CDs and I have no idea who made them. By giving out good mix CDs you will develop a new fan base, some of which will be in the industry. This is a great way to earn the respect of your fellow DJs as well. Believe me that can go a long way. For advice on preparing a great mix CD see “The Anatomy of a Mix CD”: http://djmarketing101.com/2010/03/04/the-anatomy-of-a-mix-cd/ [...]

Im already making computer disc file mixes for a local bar I onced DJd at in late 70s to early 80s. They actually work very well over the sound system. I was actually surprised how good it sounded, but I made sure to use ripped CD disco music, and not music recorded from old recordings. The quality was much better, and more professional. I only distribute the mixes mostly according to holidays of importance to me as it gives me a central theme to sneak into general mix. For instance, on Valentine’s mix I used only songs in reference to a love affair, love hangover, heartbreak. heartbeats, forget me nots, and vow for eternal love. Even Love Injection fit into this catagory. I used a red disco ball for computer disc icon wihich is generally not shown to bar guests since it is an audio file mix. But it enhances the experiance for me to record and visualize a certain graphic scene to add music too, even in a fantasy world mixed with the knowledge of what kind of bar will eventually be listening to it. I think Spring Affair will be my next conquest. And then Summer Fever . . .
