8 Best Sites to Upload Song Remixes of 2020
Soundcloud
Soundcloud is one of the most popular sites for uploading your DJ song remixes.
Although there is a recent update that reports copyright violations when you use unlicensed songs for your remixes.
If you experience this, make sure you modify the intro a little fading into the track to make sure the waveforms do not match the existing song.
YouTube
YouTube is another site where you can share your remixes.
A lot of amateur DJs upload their mixes on YouTube to get traffic or just so other people can use it for parties and other purposes.
Just like Soundcloud, you will probably run into the same copyright infringement issues, so make sure you add a disclaimer or slightly modify the first track.
Social Media Sites
You can always share your mixes on your social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram, and more in a form of video.
Just add entertaining images or an actual live video of you mixing!
Other Sites
Here are some other popular sites for uploading song remixes and mixtapes.
Most of these, unlike Soundcloud and YouTube, do not have strict copyright regulations, so there shouldn’t be any problem.

Getting Traffic to Your Mixes
What is your goal?
If your goal is to get more people to listen to your mixes so that you can land a client or deal for a day, here are some tips to improve traffic to your song or video:
- Send out messages to fellow mixers
- Join a group or online community and share your materials
- Ask for honest feedback from friends, so you can improve
- Use SEO or Search Engine Optimization for sites like YouTube
Conclusion
Sharing your mixes is one of the first steps to get known or land a gig.
Not everyone will be interested, but you can always improve, and getting honest feedback will help a lot.
Make sure you take criticism lightly because there are a lot of people out there who post harsh comments, and you have to be ready for them.
