See that ^^? That’s a link to my DJ profile on www.Thefuture.fm. What is www.Thefuture.fm? It’s a website for DJs to post up their mixes legally. It used to be known as Dubset.com but they recently relaunched as Thefuture.fm They use an interesting bit of technology called Mixscan that actually scans the mixes we DJs upload and tags the songs. It’s pretty accurate, although I’ve had to correct it a few times. From what I’ve read on the website, they actually report the spins to Performance Rights organizations such as ASCAP, and BMI. So far, this site seems to be the most legitimate way for DJs to upload mixes without having to constantly worry about having a mix taken down off of Soundcloud, or YouTube due to copyright restrictions. The site seems to still be under some construction as certain elements are not always working the way you’d expect but for the most part it is pretty functional. The website allows DJs to track the listens and it also gives listeners the opportunity to purchase the songs you use in the mix. It seems like someone actually sat back and thought about what is really happening when DJs make and distribute mixes. DJs are the original promotions department for music labels and people listen to our mixes because they trust our taste in music. Until now there has always been a gray area concerning the legality of DJ mixes. Now with Thefuture.fm all of that seems to be cleared up. Thefuture.fm seems to tie up all of the loose ends concerning DJ mixes. Artists are getting the promotion that they need through the DJ’s mix and the music executives can keep track of what’s being played. Fans are getting exposed to great new music and DJs can create and distribute mixes without fear of legal action from the industry.
I highly recommend that DJs use this service for uploading mixes, and I would also recommend this site to music lovers that want to check out new DJs. Lot’s of major DJs are already on the service and the range of music that is posted up is very diverse, so please believe that there is something for everyone on this site. Also while you are on the site check out my mixes and follow me.
