Who We Are

“How To DJ Properly With Digital DJ Gear.” That’s the promise of Digital DJ Tips. Not only home to the leading DJ tech website of the same name, we are also now the leading digital DJ training provider, with many thousands of students enjoying our seven paid-for and free online video courses, and other combined offline/online pro training products.

The Digital DJ Tips website carries upfront hardware and software reviews, show reports, industry opinion, DJing news, and tutorial/educational articles. We promote a “can do” ethos that empowers our dedicated and passionate audience to leave their bedrooms and start DJing in public. Our audience message is simple, consistent and well-received: You’re passionate about music, so get whatever gear you can afford, and then get out there and do it!

Digital DJ Tips is Europe’s largest DJ tech website, and a dominant site globally.

Audience Demographic*

Digital DJ Tips is an ideal medium to reach a predominantly US & EU community of forward-looking, tech-savvy, high-spending digital DJs. They’re both new to DJing, and returning to the game from analogue roots.

The Digital DJ Tips audience is largely within the 20-39 demographic, consisting overwhelmingly of open-minded beginner to intermediate “prosumer” DJs. They’re mainly using controllers and laptops (although many DJ with CDJs and turntables too), and they spin in their bedrooms, at parties, and in lounges and small clubs.

* These statistics are from a survey of 4,500 Digital DJ Tips readers, from August 2012. More specific demographics are available upon request.

Reach

With one million pages served a month, we are easily the biggest voice on digital DJing in Europe, and Digital DJ Tips is now a dominant voice in the US too. From its launch in March 2010, in total, Digital DJ Tips is now visited by over 300,000 monthly unique visitors. We also have a 70,000 email list, 110,000 Facebook fans, 40,000 YouTube subscribers and 20,000 Twitter followers, channels that our long-term advertisers get guaranteed coverage on (see below).

Editorial profile

Reviews

Digital DJ Tips reviews all new DJing hardware and software relevant to our demographic, with more space given to digital, portable gear over analogue, traditional equipment. As well as DJ controllers, digital mixers and accessories, we review software and DJ services such as digital music pools. Our annual How To Choose A DJ Controller guide is downloaded tens of thousands of times each year.

News & opinion

Our widely experienced, global network of writers provide a distinctive editorial slant on the world of DJing. Alongside our expected material for party/club and bedroom jocks, we cover wedding, radio, mobile and video DJing. We are on the floor at all major DJ and pro audio shows to bring the news to our audience first hand and quickly.

Paid-for courses

Our flagship How To Digital DJ Fast video series has sold many thousands of copies, and thousands more students are enjoying our Pro Mixtape Formula, Acapella Mixing Masteclass, Scratching for Controller DJs, Make Your Own Sample Sets, Complete 21st Century Wedding DJ and Learn To DJ With Virtual DJ Home products.

With a print book and further courses currently in production, we are rapidly adding to our portfolio of practical how-to guides to teach specific skills to DJs who are ready to “get serious”. These products are introduced to our audience via valuable, regular, free tutorial articles on the website: We carry more high-quality, free training materials than any other DJ website.
