DJ drop and radio imaging sound effects

1. Short audio intro with catchy sound effects (big whooshes, booms, glitches).
2. Male or female voice over, often with stutter, glitch, or echo / delay effect applied.

What is a DJ drop?
A DJ drop is a short voice over audio sample, often accompanied by catchy beat or attention grabbing sound effects that DJs and radio hosts use to promote themselves or their brand.
DJ drops offer many creative possibilities to get the audience pumped for the upcoming performance or mix.
Where people use DJ drops?
DJ drops are typically used in mix-tapes, radio broadcast imaging, radio ads, and during live DJ sets.
Additionally, you can use DJ drops as branding audio logos or reveals to associate your brand with certain sounds using beat tags.
How to make DJ drops?
If you are a voice over artist looking to start making DJ drops, you will need short catchy music intros and commercial quality sound effects.
Some typical sound effects include earth shuttering booms and hits, epic whooshes, glitches, and risers.
Add your own voice (or collaborate with a voice artist if you prefer) and apply effects like stutter, delay, pitch, reverb, and lots of compression to make it stand out.
