3 Rules for Customising This Template

  1. Personalise the Intro: Never send a generic "Dear DJ" email. Mention a specific set or track they played recently at a club or on a station like Rinse FM or NTS. If you use The Musical Road's AI tools, we help automate this personalisation.
  2. Highlight the 'Why': Why should they play this? Is it a "sunset vibe" or a "dark warehouse tool"? Give them the context. DJs are busy; tell them exactly where this fits in their record bag.
  3. Include the Metadata: Ensure your files are tagged correctly with ISRC codes and artwork. You can use our ISRC Code Generator & Validator if you don't have them yet.

Automate Your DJ Outreach

Manually emailing 500 DJs is a full-time job. With The Musical Road, you can upload your track once, select a verified list of DJs based on genre, and send branded, trackable promos in seconds.

FAQ

How do I send a promo to a UK DJ?
The best way is via a personalised email or a dedicated promo platform like The Musical Road. Ensure you include a high-quality download link, key metadata, and a brief explanation of why the track fits their specific style.
What should I include in a DJ promo email?
Your email should feature the track title, artist name, genre, BPM, a short 'pitch' or description, and a clear link to listen and download. Personalising the intro to mention a DJ's recent set is crucial for engagement.
