Branding & Online Promoting for EDM Artists (BPMstr Week 5 Update)

Written by W G. Posted in -Everything, BPMstr Talk+News, For Producers+DJ's

EDM Branding and Promoting: Course 101

I can’t say that I can rest easy now, but I feel that I have achieved a lot in 5 weeks since my EDM site – BPMstr.com – went live. The most important question I asked myself last week is, “What is my EDM niche?” And the answers helped me define my first marketing campaign. Next, my electronic music site is fully operational (and now has the cool “black look”), and my social networks are set up and working. During Week 5, I properly configured both of my YouTube channels (it’s very important to add proper tags to your videos), and last – but certainly not least – I released TuneDome EDM Network….

Social Networking Is a Pain for EDM Producers (Week 4 Update)

Social Networking for EDM Artists: Course 101

Social Networks: BPMstr.com and TuneDome.comIt is impossible to describe the awe I experienced when I understood how complex the social networking world has become – for electronic dance music producers and otherwise. When I was in college studying marketing and finance, I wasn’t told that I would have to be on Facebook to survive. Nor was I told that… in case I ever decide to become a music producer or a DJ, I would have to kill myself over building a Twitter account and link it to my Facebook fan page in such a way that my Tweets would appear on my timeline properly, making sure that they show the featured image correctly from the blog posts on my WordPress website. Really? All this before I become the next Paul van Dyk or Coone? WTF?….

BPMstr Week 3 Update: My Website Pains

Written by W G. Posted in -Everything, BPMstr Talk+News, For EDM Fans, For Producers+DJ's

Three Weeks Since my EDM Website Went up: Staying Busy

So, my website about Electronic Dance Music is up and people can go there… that is, if I gave them a business card. Other than that, no one will know that I am an aspiring EDM producer. What now? Well, I have 2 choices: I can do nothing (like so many talented EDM producers do!) and hope that God will help me get Google rankings because I am cool, or I can roll up my sleeves and understand the inner workings of the worldwide web. I chose the second method….

ADE 2012 Day 1 (Amsterdam Dance Event)

Amsterdam Dance Event 2012: DAY 1

ADE 2012 Begins: DAY 1And so, the Electronic Dance Music gig of the year begins. There are three things going on concurrently in town:

  • The Conference – which is the program for EDM professionals (DJ’s and producers and engineers and promoters);
  • The Festival – which is the “let’s go party til dawn” part of the gig;
  • The Hard Dance Event – which is NOT self-explanatory and is the hard-core mutant version of the two above for those who like faster and harder styles of Electronic Dance Music (e.g., Headhunterz); FYI, I strongly gravitate toward music above 140 BPM, and before too long I will release my first hard dance track (I give myself until the end of this year)…..

Week 1 Update: Overwhelmed

Written by W G. Posted in -Everything, BPMstr Talk+News, For EDM Fans, For Producers+DJ's

Electronic Dance Music is not just about producing EDM tracks

OK, I don’t really know where to begin, but one thing is for sure: it is impossible to share your musical talents with others – in the electronic music world or otherwise – unless you possess the patience to create a system of “bells and whistles” to promote yourself. My first week since deploying this site was busy and stressful. My website is up, but there is so much to do, while I am here in Amsterdam (and it’s so cool here and therefore so difficult to focus)…

BPMstr EDM Blog site is up: Week #1

First BPMstr.com EDM Blog Post from Luke Kelvin

Luke Kelvin PhotoEDM (electronic dance music) is what I love, and this EDM blog is where I share my story. I was born as Alex, but when on stage, my name is Luke – Luke Kelvin, or simply BPMstr – the Artist of the Tempo. My website BPMstr.com is finally up, and this is officially the first week of my quest to make at least three new tracks every month. Do you think I can do it? We’ll see. But I do need your help to succeed. If you take a few minutes to browse through the photo gallery included in this EDM blog below, you will know all the relevant marks in my life that lead to today’s undertaking. Or if you want the long version, please read on: my progress will be 10-fold faster if someone follows me and helps me along – and that would be you.

The story of my past life (which is not the topic of my blog) is simple and in some ways easy to relate to: I had a perfectly normal childhood for an Eastern European child: I had some fun, played ball, and got good and bad marks in school. I usually worked hard at things I did, and some of my activities I pursued with more passion than others. At the age of seven, I started learning piano and music theory,…..
