Artists Websites

I have researched a number of differant Artist's websites to see what they include, whether they used soundcloud to show the viewers any new songs, if they had contact details, their tour dates, information on band members, any items that people can buy online such as t shirts or the cd itself.

Kill the noise is an american dj who plays both house and dubstep with his house music becoming increasingly popular. He is a young new dj who is rapidly growing. I looked on his website, and it was designed to look like an old retro arcade game with space invader style colours. It had many links to his youtube site, his soundcloud, facebook and twitter accounts for fans to view. It also had contact and booking details for promoters. Interestingly it also had a discography of all his own music and his mixes of other songs.

Benga is one of the leading English DJs who is from south London. This website is very much differant to Kill the Noise website, because Benga's has a video of one of his singles which plays automatcially when you go on the website. Then in big font it has his gig dates, his twitter and facebook accounts, and also a music store. One thing that they all have in common is that they both clearly state who the artist is, what genre of music they fit into. They both have either a logo of the dj (Kill the Noise 'Skull with a flap cap) and Benga's website has a clear picture of him performing in the background. Benga's website is much more simpler in design as Kill the Noise has a lot more colour and links on his website.
