​​​
Who Can Be a Guest DJ?
Anyone who would be entertaining and enhance our listeners' experience is welcome! Artists, producers, labels, social media personalities, and more are all eligible. If you think you can keep our listeners entertained for an hour or two, email us with some information about yourself, why you want to be a Guest DJ, and what you have in mind. If it’s a good fit, we’ll be in touch about the next steps!
​​
How Does It Work?
Being a Guest DJ is simple—we handle the production, including adding the music. Here’s what you need to do:
-
Select Your Songs: Compile a list of 10 to 20 tracks, aiming for a mix of prog rock and optionally other genres to keep things interesting.
-
Record Your Audio: Create an audio file with your introductions and commentary for each track, pausing where songs will be inserted. Share personal stories, plug your latest project, and make it your own! If you're a band, everyone is welcome to participate. The most important thing is to try and have the audio sound clean by recording it in a quiet location, even if you just record it on your phone. If you make any mistakes, don't stress, we can edit those out.
-
Submit Your Audio: Send us your list of songs and audio file. We’ll edit everything together, adjust the levels, edit out any mistakes, add reverb and effects to make you sound pro, and add the music. We accept most audio formats (e.g., MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, etc.), with MP3 and WAV being the most common. For submitting your files, we recommend using a file-sharing service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or WeTransfer.
