SoundCloud

SoundCloud is one of the most important platforms for DJs looking to discover new music, find inspiration, and connect with artists. With millions of tracks uploaded by independent musicians, producers, and fellow DJs, SoundCloud is a goldmine of underground gems, bootlegs, remixes, and full DJ sets that you won’t find on mainstream platforms.

What sets SoundCloud apart is its diversity and accessibility. You’ll find everything from bedroom producers dropping unreleased edits to major artists testing out experimental sounds. For DJs, that means an endless stream of fresh material to dig through, sample, and build into your sets. It’s also a great place to study how other DJs structure their mixes, discover regional genres, or trace the evolution of niche scenes.

SoundCloud’s interface makes it easy to follow artists, build playlists, and repost tracks to your profile. Many DJs also use it as a portfolio—uploading their own recorded mixes to showcase their style and reach new audiences. If you're producing music or creating your own edits, uploading to SoundCloud is a low-barrier way to share your work and start building a following.
