How to build a DJ portfolio

A DJ portfolio answers one question for a promoter: will this person work in my room, on my night? Everything in it should help answer that.

The three-mix rule

Publish three mixes that represent three real situations you can be booked for — for example an opening set, a peak-time set and a festival or daytime set. Label them. A wall of undated audio makes the promoter do work they will not do.

Show the room, not just the booth

One video of a full room reacting is worth more than ten close-ups of a mixer. If you have no live footage, a short recorded set with good sound is the next best thing.

Make the history scannable

  • Residencies, with dates.
  • Clubs and festivals played, grouped by city or country.
  • Releases and remixes, if they are relevant to how you get booked.
  • Genres, honestly described.
