Genre/Music Played On Air
The name of the station speaks for itself. This is not softrock.fm, easylistening.fm, brostep.fm, drumstep.fm, or trap.fm. Please only play Dubstep music on the air. When a DJ strays away from Dubstep we notice a drop in listeners. Listeners tune in to Dubstep.fm and expect to hear Dubstep music. We do not want to mis-represent this wonderful sound we try to spread.

Track Lists
All DJ’s using serato are required to use serato’s built in track list export feature to post a track list via serato.com. http://serato.com/playlists/how-to. For DJ’s not using serato, you are encouraged to post your track list on the facebook event page for your show (hosted by the dsfm facebook page).

Microphone Usage
Part of your setup must include a microphone. Informing listeners of the show/DJ they are listening to any shouts or dedications asked for in the chat and any other information you are asked by management to broadcast. We only require that you use your microphone at regular periodic intervals throughout your show. As a guide, every 30 minutes is adequate.

Internet Connection
You must use a wired internet connection (hard line). A wireless internet connection will not work as wireless internet connections drop too many packets and you will get disconnected from the server in the middle of your show. Make sure that your wireless is turned OFF before you connect to the server for broadcasting.

MC’s
Dubstep.fm has a no MC policy. It is statistically proven that we loose listeners when an MC is on the air. The listeners of Dubstep.fm tune in to hear music, not a shitty MC with a fake rasta accent bigging himself up. If your doing your job as a good DJ, you dont need the support of an MC.
