The Platform 044: Producing Music for DJs, Authentic Marketing, TikTok/Social Media DJs
On episode forty-four of The Platform Podcast, I sat down Carlyle from Dallas, Texas!
Carlyle got into the nightlife industry and immediately knew it was where he wanted to be. Started out as a promoter, he grew a major following without even realizing what he had done. From that point on, he was off to races.
With a major passion for electronic music, Carlyle had to pivot when he got asked to play a nightclub that was mainly hip-hop. He talks about how that helped him grow as a DJ and how he had to battle with branding himself as a DJ who wanted to play artist sets at festivals vs being an open format DJ.
Carlyle has his hands in many business ventures outside of DJing and has started to build a portfolio when it comes to night life and hospitality. He even helped bring MELLODEATH to perform at a venue he plays at frequently for a pop up DJ set in Dallas.
Being in the industry now for almost a decade, he's done everything from promoting to helping with advancing of artists, booking, DJing and of course producing. After stopping for a long time, he realized he had to get back into it if he wanted to be able to book himself out consistently around the US. He talks about the difficulty of putting out music in today's social media driven world as well.
Lastly, he plays "New Heat or Delete" and picks someone to "Put On A Platform."
