Choose the right virtual world. There are several virtual worlds that you can DJ in, such as Decentraland and Somnium Space. Each one has its own unique features and audience, so it’s important to choose the one that best fits your style and audience. If you’re new to the space, you might want to check the DJenerates website which provides clubs where you can play in Decentraland and in Somnium as well.

Virtual reality platforms: There are also a number of virtual reality platforms that allow you to create a virtual space and stream live performances, including VRChat, AltspaceVR, and Rec Room. These platforms can be accessed using VR headsets or by using a computer and a VR-compatible webcam. It’s important to note that this method may require different equipment and more technical expertise, so it’s a good idea to do some research and experiment with different options to find the best one for you, or to stick with the virtual world option described above.

Build your brand. Once you have the equipment and skills you need, it’s time to start building your brand. Create a unique name and style that represents you as a DJ. This can include a unique avatar, clothing, and even a virtual stage. Make sure your brand is consistent across all your social media platforms and website.

Promote your shows. Once you’ve built your brand, it’s time to promote your shows. Share your events on social media and invite your friends to attend. You can also collaborate with other DJs and event organizers to gain exposure. Don’t forget to add you event on our agenda as well 😉

Practice and improve. The more you DJ in the metaverse, the better you’ll become. Practice mixing tracks, transitions, experimenting with different styles and techniques, and try new things. Listen to feedback from your audience and use it to improve your shows.

Keep streaming on traditional platforms. Twitch and YouTube are popular platforms for streaming live performances, and many DJs use them to broadcast their sets to a global audience. You can also stream simultaneously on our live streaming platform Clubbing.live.
