DJ APPLICATIONS

WHO CAN APPLY?

We accept applications from anyone who can commit to a live, scheduled show whilst offering support to the site and his or her fellow DJs. Housemasters has a strong community spirit where support is essential, so if you are a play and go DJ, we would suggest not applying.

HOW DO I APPLY?

Our DJ application can be found Here. You can apply to join Housemasters radio as a resident or as a guest on our Oldskool Masters show or the Are Friends Eclectic show.

WHAT INFORMATION DO I NEED TO APPLY?

In order for us to process your application, we need a number of things from you, these include:

  • A Bio written in the third person.
  • A High Quality Image of yourself suitable at 800×600 size (we do not accept logos for profile images).
  • A Show name you wish to use.
  • A three paragraph synopsis on your show.

Please note that we are unable to offer any programming slots until we have all this information.

WHAT SOFTWARE DO I NEED?

For its pure simplicity and stability we recommend to those who do not have a favourite encoder already to use BUTT Encoder (Broadcast using this tool).

It’s easy to install and with a basic data entry system, set up takes a matter of minutes. During your set up process you will be guided by our programming manager, who will assist you with a connection test prior to your show going live.

WHAT IS THE HOUSEMASTERS MUSIC POLICY?

Despite our name Housemasters radio, we host global shows that feature a wide and very varied selection of music which is not always dance orientated. We encourage musical freedoms on site but there are a number of sounds we do not play here, these include:

  • EDM – Large room American / European style EDM (We class EDM as a style and not as a blanket term for music produced electronically)
  • Dubstep
  • Trance

DO I NEED TO PAY TO PLAY ON HOUSEMASTERS RADIO?

Currently we offer our platform as a free to use service. This changes on the 1st August 2023 when DJ membership will require a subscription. This is not a “Pay To Play” scheme, rather a subscription which enables the station to run legally, effectively whilst providing the solid platform it is. 

For fans of Housemasters who may wish to support the station or an individual show, there is the option to do so. Become a gold member by supporting Housemasters with a donation or monthly subscription.

This artwork must be sized at 1600 x 700 pxls and no higher than 100kbs in size.

From time to time artists and labels submit promotional drops advertising future releases, these drops are used during promo shows, we expect all DJs’s to use these.

CAN I USE MY OWN SHOW / DJ JINGLES?

Yes you can, depending on quality, if they are not in keeping with our standards, then no. We encourage all our DJs to use drops and jingles sourced from our own dedicated supplier. We use one company and only two voice artists for all such work, this provides us with high and consistent quality, as well as keeping to the Housemasters theme.

Housemasters provides show idents, as a way of thanks, to all our Gold members who have subscribed for at least 6 months, so if you can wait and want to support the site as a gold member, visit the Support Housemasters page, subscribe and get yourself on the list.
