[Main Page] Exercise Your Name: How To Make A DJ Drop

I was thinking of making one but to be honest I dont think I would use it. Maybe on a demo, I am not to sure.

Do you say yay or nay for name drops? During live sets, mixtapes, etc?

Would only use it in mixtapes, demos and podcasts.

Not during any live(in the club) DJ work.

So yes it is cheesy but it is effective marketing in the right situation.

I used one for NYE....my first real BIG electro gig.

No one knows me in that scene yet. Psytrance I am well known....but not Electro....so i dropped one.

I heard people saying...WHO IS THIS GUY.....WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF HIM!

So the Name on the laptop and the drop helped I recon!
:D

But yeah.....won't do it at every gig.
