    lols

    Some promoters are funny.

    Tell him to give you a memory stick and you'll stick the files on the card in whatever format he desires.

    Nope, he wants me to email him a DATA file to him so he can click on it and download it within seconds so he can listen to it quicker.

    It's a very professional (expensive) audio format.

    I dare say he was having a bit of a laugh at your expense if he did ask for a mix on ADAT.
    Nope, definitely DATA. Even pronounced Data.

    If he is gonna "hand out the mix" he can just pass on the link. No need to spend an agonising 5 minutes (obviously he's in a hurry) downloading an MP3.

    Either there has been a mix up in communication with this promoter or he is yanking your chain.
    BTW - I have never heard of a promoter passing on DJ mixes to "loads" of other promoters, producers and DJ's. This simply does not happen or he would be charging you for his agency skills.

    Sounds dodgy mate, honestly.
    This guy isn't a promoter as such, he just has a lot of connections. I gave him my mix on CD 320kbps MP3, and he gave me a business card could you convert the MP3 file to DATA and send it to me via email? I asked him what about a Mixcloud link he said no. Maybe something to do with Mixcloud compressing the audio quality possibly? I'm not sure. I have a feeling what he means is one of those downloads you download it and it plays in your browser possibly... Not sure I will ask him.

    Sounds to me like he doesn't have a cd drive to rip your mp3 himself. Just upload it to soundcloud and allow downloading, then send him the link.

    You mean "yes", not "Nope".

    Get a box account or skydrive and upload your mix to that. Give him the link to that.

    Interesting that he wants you to take it from the most respected and smallest size/best quality file. To something thats not even a music related thing..
