Download DJ mixes with TheFuture.fm? The longest running website on this list, ReverbNation has been active since 2006 and offers several tools for musicians to promote their music, one example is the Gig Finder, a database with over 600 thousand venues you can apply to play at. Another cool feature of ReverbNation is their dedicated A&R team that browses through thousands of songs every week to help to connect artists to several sync and gig opportunities.
The name “SoundCloud” doesn’t really need any explicit introduction – I’d probably be having a hard time trying to find a musician who has never heard about it in his life. When the service was first introduced to the world 12 years ago (in 2007), it kinda revolutionized the way of publishing music online by creating a large, community-driven platform able to connect underground music creators with fans who were looking for new music to listen to. Anyone could upload almost anything instantly and there were always some ears to listen – no wonder that the popularity of the service quickly skyrocketed and there were quite a few big musicians whose careers took off from SoundCloud. But it was too beautiful to last forever.

Primarily known as a hip-hop platform until now, Audiomack is one of the top SoundCloud alternatives on the internet and, has been gaining a cult following among producers and DJs in recent times. The site’s design borrows heavily from the familiar SoundCloud website, and so does its list of features for the listeners. That being the case, you’ll get to share, like/favorite, repost and add to playlist any track you like, just like SoundCloud. However, unlike SoundCloud that charges users $180 per year for unlimited storage, Audiomack is completely free, with no premium accounts. Audiomack is also just the third platform after SoundCloud and BandCamp to integrate its services with influential music blog aggregator Hype Machine. As of now, Audiomack claims to have over 5 million monthly users, and its mobile app is also extremely popular both on Android and iOS. It remains to be seen if the service will ever match up to the popularity and ubiquity of SoundCloud, but it is surely on the right track.
Producers: You’re welcome to upload your original music and use the sharing feature. In fact, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND uploading your music and begin sharing ASAP to increase your statistics. This will ensure that your profile and music will be higher on the charts and will get the ultimate visibility when the flood of DJs, producers and listeners are invited to TheFuture. This will convert into the highest commissions for your music from the very start. The “Share” function works for both links and embedded. Feel free to use our global network for streaming your music to your fans, which is 100% free. While we are in the BETA stage, all DJs and Listeners will be able to download without charge, so there will be no commissions distribution. However, as soon as the platform is announced publicly and we begin accepting subscription signups, you will begin to receive commissions on every download from paying subscribers!
