HDNightlife is an electronic music portfolio catered for DJs looking to host their mixed sets, produced tracks, remixes, and mash ups all on line.  The general concept is of a social networking site for people in the entertainment industry. Hence, Models, Dancers, DJs, Bands, etc have a place to host their talents with unlimited virtual exposure.  HDNightlife is an evolution in exposure.

 

Today’s common sites for musicians and DJs all have severe limitations.  These limitations include but are definitely not limited too: 

      • Track / File sizes: Sites such as Myspace do not allow DJs to host 75+ min tracks. 
      • Track / File amount limitation: Other sites limit the number of tracks that can be posted either by a total amount or by a cap in account storage.
      • Stream vs. Download: Other sites allow users to either stream tracks or download them but few if any offer both.
      • Lack of Video: Tracks only go so far.  Most other sites lack and type of video exposure. And the few that do incorporate services such as YouTube, have video quality that is clearly unacceptable.  Scratch and mixing techniques definitely separate DJs so why not visually show mixing skills!
      • Accessibility: Most sites require users to go through login screens and memberships to be able to view DJs.  Once in, it is very common to have to have some sort of paid membership to be able to contact the models.
      • URL Convenience: With exception to a few social networking sites, most sites do not have a simple URL such as www.HDNightlife.com/YourName.  Finding DJs can be a very daunting task.
      • Formality: Most websites have a very complex and intimidating infrastructure and are usually cluttered with advertisement, pop ups, etc. In addition, the sites that offer customization makes it virtually impossible to go from profile to profile and know where to look for contact information, music, etc…
 

HDNightlife eliminates all of the above limitations! HDNightlife is the premier site to offer DJ music-hosting services.  DJ sets, produced tracks, remixes and mashups can be directly streamed or downloaded! Users can stream a set and if liked, download afterwards! DJs with residencies can upload each set every week for their loyal fans to download!  Video is also key for HDNightlife. Not only can one watch streaming video at amazing quality, one is able to download full 1280 x 720P High Definition video as well.  Hence, music videos and live performances can also be viewed via streaming or downloaded in HD.   In respect to both music and video, there are no limitations on how much can be uploaded. One can have hundreds of DJ sets, produced tracks, remixes and mashups if desired!! HDNightlife is an open canvas, which enables agents, talent scouts, promoters etc to view profiles in their entirety and securely contact DJs without having to log in, create memberships, give financial information, etc… The need to search for a DJ profile is finally over with the convenience of having your name in a simple URL. Hence, you can market and advertise your portfolio with your own URL:  http://hdnightlife.com/YourName.  Last but not least, HDNightlife has a very simple but extremely efficient uniform layout. There are no direct advertisements, pop-ups, etc.  As technology has evolved over the years, HDNightlife is an evolution in exposure!

 

HDNightlife is for amateur as well as professional DJs looking to obtain exposure, market themselves, advertise, etc.  In addition, HDNightlife eliminates having to burn demo CDs.  DJs can send their profile to promoters, clubs, etc.  Countless hours will be saved burning CDs!  The format of the site offers professional business exposure as well as exposure for fun!  Exposure can be generated by DJs using their own URL  http://hdnightlife.com/YourName, as a digital music  resume, canvas, or portfolio to showcase their work.  In addition since each profile is in a listing type environment, networking groups such as talent scouts, agents, promoters, club and restaurant management, etc… have the ability to browse and listen to the DJ profiles and securely contact them. 

 

HDNightlife offers a multitude of other services in addition to profile hosting.  Photography and video services as well as recording services are also offered at very affordable prices. HDNightlife understands that finances may very well be tight for a lot of people looking to make it in the industry. Hence, HDNightlife offers reasonable photo and video and recording packages to help DJs obtain their content. HDNightlife uses state the art professional digital photography equipment as well as industry standard professional high definition video equipment. All shoots are videographed and photographed simultaneously to create an HDNightlife profile / portfolio!  In addition to photo and video services, HDNightlife also offers audio content, recording, and distribution services, video editing / creation services, graphic design, and marketing services. Please see HDNightlife.com for more information regarding these services. 

 

HDNightlife offers various ways to provide music, photo and video content.  For DJs with a large existing collection of DJ sets, produced tracks, remixes & mashups, uploading via the web or FTP is not practical. Sending large files on the order of 1Gb+ usually times out or crashes connections. Hence, large amounts of content can be sent to HDNightlife via CD or DVD.  HDNightlife can also send out a USB flash drive with a pre-packaged / paid envelope to be sent back.  All additional material after profile creation can be sent via the web.  Hence, DJs with weekly residencies can upload their weekly sets at the beginning of every week.
 
      • HDNightlife membership is $70 for 1 year, which includes creation of a profile with music galleries, photo galleries, video galleries, a section for general info & achievements, contact method, etc.  This package does not include any recording, photo or video work and all content must be provided.
      • HDNightlife does provide recording, photo and video solutions for those without any or limited content.  A typical recording/photo/video shoot is $300 and runs approximately 3-4 hours.   This will include as many gear changes as desired.  Roughly 2500+ high-resolution pictures will be taken as well as 1-2 hours of High Definition video.   The DJ will receive all pictures and video in their unedited entirety.
      • DJs can post in additional locations / markets in addition to their “home” location for an extra $20 per location.
