How to create a professional electronic press kit (EPK)?
Dec 9, 2025
A professional EPK is your digital resume that showcases who you are as an artist to industry professionals, venues, and media outlets. Start by including your bio, high-quality press photos, your best music samples or streaming links, recent videos, press coverage or quotes, and clear contact information. Make sure everything is organized on a single page or website that's easy to navigate and mobile-friendly. Keep your EPK updated regularly with your latest releases and achievements so you're always ready when opportunities come up.
Building a strong EPK is just one piece of the professional music career puzzle. At Futureproof Music School, our Mentors help you develop not just your production skills, but also the industry knowledge you need to promote yourself effectively and connect with the right people in the electronic music world.
What file format should I export my music in for my EPK?
Export your tracks as high-quality WAV files (24-bit/48kHz minimum) for downloads, and include 320kbps MP3 versions for streaming previews. Always keep your EPK audio files under 10MB each so they load quickly for industry professionals reviewing your kit.
How long should my DJ mix or producer demo be in an EPK?
Keep your DJ mix between 30-60 minutes and your producer demo under 15 minutes with your 3-5 strongest tracks. Booking agents and label managers typically spend less than 10 minutes reviewing each EPK, so front-load your best material in the first few tracks.
Should I host my EPK on my own website or use a dedicated EPK platform?
Use a dedicated EPK platform like Disco, Electronic Press Kit, or even a clean Google Drive folder if you're just starting out. These load faster on mobile devices and let you track who opens your kit, which helps you follow up with interested promoters and labels more effectively.
