7 tips for Turntable.fm success from Dj Wooooo

This is an article that I found on Hypebot, the article is about being a famous Dj on Turntable.fm.


7 Tips For Turntable.fm Success From DJ Wooooo

Now that Turntable.fm has taken off, confirming my initial positive take, it's also given folks a chance to start testing possible approaches to interaction and self-promotion. One dj who has risen to the top of the relevant charts, DJ Wooooo, recently shared his take on how to be a Turntable.fm superstar.

Ben Popper at Betabeat spoke with DJ Wooooo, who is said to be the "most appreciated" and "most popular" dj on Turntable.fm. Wooooo shared a few idiosyncratic tips for success on this increasingly popular social listening platform:

Sticking to the genre is key
But the crowd is very fickle
They want new and different, but not TOO different
Mood in the room can shift quickly
So don’t "set and forget" your DJ queue
People want to be in the most packed room
So try and be famous, like DJ Wooooo
DJ Wooooo also states that his emphasis, "as far as song selection goes, it’s a delicate mix of popular songs and experimental tracks." However, he shares this additional bit of advice:

"If you're just yanking songs from Hype Machine without figuring out how they fit the vibe, you'll get called out. Just because some website says they like a song doesn’t mean the Turntable crowd will."

So now you can "try and be famous, like DJ Wooooo"!


I have personally checked out the site myself I like it, I feel this is a good platform for up and coming dj that have never really performed in front of a crowd could experiment with. To build their confidence up, and while yet it could be a teaser for dj's for their upcoming shows as well. In the near future I will try this out myself, and see how it goes. I will kept everyone posted when all this is going to happen. Later for now.
