Dubset – DJ alternative for Soundcloud?
In the past few months Soundcloud has been looking closer to DJ Sets and Mixtapes loaded onto their website. Result was that many DJ sets were removed due to copyright infringements. In some way understandable but on a other level just a shame. How are DJs then suppose to share their sets with their fans? Today we came across a new website that might be an alternative for DJs. Dubset! At first sight it all looks pretty neat and clean. However there is one downfall and that’s the mixes can’t be embedded on your personal website. And that’s the big PLUS that Soundcloud has! Dubset is still in BETA phase so maybe this feature could be added in the future.
