Mixcloud
Streaming platform built specifically for DJ mixes.
Detailed explanation
Mixcloud is the leading online platform for DJ mixes and radio shows. Unlike SoundCloud, Mixcloud has licensing agreements with rights holders — mixes can be uploaded without copyright strikes. For DJs it is the most important place to share mixes, build reach and link as a reference for booking enquiries. Uploading is free.
In practice
You have recorded a set and want to share it without it disappearing after a few days. That is what platforms built for DJ mixes are for: they account for the tracks contained instead of muting uploads. In practice that means listing your tracklist properly, and expecting that a mix there cannot be skipped through — which makes the length of your set a decision, not an afterthought.
