There's no quick way to get your music played by these big Djs, you have to work your way up. You can do this by getting played on community radio stations, internet radio stations, pirate radio stations and the like. These stations will give you a decent amount of exposure in themselves, and what I was really getting at in this article. As you do this and promote your name in other ways, the likelihood that these big Djs will hear and take notice of you will increase. If they like what you're doing, hopefully they'll play you. Even if they can't do so because of their playlist, they could still play you in other places they play (Events, on mixtapes etc). The good thing about networking with up and coming Djs, is you never know who will make it big time next. If you get in good with them before they move up to a bigger station, you'll already have your foot in the door and they'll be more likely to push you when they can. Like I said it's not easy and there's no quick way to make this happen. But it can work. P.S. You can alo send your songs directly to radio stations to be considered for their playlists. It's very hard to get on like this, but I have seen it happen. Hi Renato. There’s no quick way to get your music played by these big Djs, you have to work your way up.
