BUISNESS CARD - Wat do you guys think?

[3heads]

A business card is not a flyer.

If you leave the frontside as it is, you should have the backside in plain white and have your contact information on it in a traditional business card layout. No pictures in the background, no logos for youtube and soundcloud, no pictograms for phone and email.
If you absolutely have to have a graphic element on it, put a small version of your logo in a corner.

I do agree, though I think a black backside with white or yellow for the text might also work quite well (considering the colors of the front).
Oh, and regarding the front: the name is vertically off-center. That should be fixed!

Just keep it simple and clear to the point. Also, in my opinion, the front should be the same background colour as the back.

Business cards really help. Where I'm from I still see my cards from 2 years ago floating around in peoples wallets. Make something you wont hate yourself for years down the road, so keep it simple. The logo on the front looks good, but the back is way too cluttered and generic. That Pio pic is my google chrome background so the second I saw it I was turned off.

I also realized when I made mine the first time that it costs so much more to have a 2 sided card, and if you can easily fit everything on one side it actually makes it more user friendly. My first ones (which I can't find a picture of atm) was very simple - Black and white, one sided with a logo, phone number and soundcloud. Super cheap and clean and anyone who sees one automatically knows its mine.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Found a copy of my old business card - I'm sure some people will say it's crap, but it worked great for me and I got a lot of positive feedback from my market, which are mostly non-DJ's

I agree with most here. Lose the picture on the back. I personally think it be pretty classy to see the back side to have the same layout (font and info) with the colors reversed. Black background with Yellow font. BOOM! Done!....

Edit: Also, try and find a circular icon for the Soundcloud icon... for flow and OCD sake
