10 Things You Should Not Tweet A DJ
Top 10 Tuesday - Always Think Before You Tweet Your Favorite DJ
Originally published in 2014. Updated in August 2026.
Twitter may now be X, but some things never change. We originally published this list back in 2014, when EDM Twitter was a very different place. More than a decade later, we've cleaned up the original piece and revisited a few of the tweets that inspired it. The platforms may have changed, but fans asking DJs the same questions? That's still very much a thing.
Here are the Top 10 Things You Should NOT Tweet a DJ.
Just a random scroll through Twitter and you’ll come across some of the most hilarious things, especially when it involves a DJ. Sometimes we really do feel the DJ’s pain while reading all the replies they get. So, we decided to make a list of the Top 10 Things You Should NOT Tweet a DJ. To be honest, we’re guilty of a few of these ourselves and, after much thought, have realised what fools we were.
10. When are you coming to my city.
Probably one of the most popular things to tweet your favorite DJ. Yes we get you want to see this DJ play in your city but bombarding them with tweets isn't going to help. Why you might ask, simply because at the end of the day the DJ doesn't decide where they play it's up to local promoters to book them. So instead of tweeting them, tag your local promoters in your tweet to the DJ stating why they need to bring them down.
In other words: SPAM YOUR LOCAL PROMOTERS.
9. Please come to (Your City)!/ When are you releasing a new album?
Tweeting this two weeks after a DJ has played in your city or a few months after they have released an album is just not on.
Uhmm, if you keep up to date with your favorite DJs, you would know where they are playing and when they've released an album, especially if you are a Twitter addict.
8. Bring back old TIESTO!
Please stop tweeting Tiësto this.
Old Tiësto is dead. New Tiësto is here to stay, and no amount of tweeting Tiësto about how much you miss the old Tiësto is going to bring that Tiësto back.
And, to be honest, do you really think Tiësto is going to take your tweet seriously?
Uhmm... noo.
7. Hey nice track. I'm a 13 year old producer/DJ here's my track please play it, support it PLZ RT!
Have you heard of a thing called a demo email address? If you want to get noticed, your best option is to send your track to the DJ's demo address. Spamming them with a link to your track is just going to annoy them.
6. Hey I sent you an email (about an hour ago just checking to see if you got it).
We live in the age of technology. They will reply yo your email when they receive it. No need to tell them you sent them an email. Patience is all you need to have.
5. I want to have your babies!
Ladies, please keep it classy. That's all we have to say.
4. Please can I get guest list for your show.
Why don't you just buy tickets?
3. It's my birthday please wish me or RT you're my favorite DJ. (Sends same tweet to 30 DJs)
You're only making a fool of yourself if you tweet this. Getting a birthday shout-out from a DJ when you asked for it doesn't make you special.
Now now, there is no need for such harsh words. It's really simple if you don't like it don't listen. No one really cares if you don't like it or not.
