Mixcloud is a popular platform for discovering and sharing DJ mixes and recorded radio shows. Available on iOS, tvOS, Apple CarPlay, Android and the web, it's a great tool to provide on-demand content to your listeners. With Radio.co's Mixcloud integration you can publish your pre-recorded live events or uploaded DJ Mixes directly to your profile with just a few clicks. 

Who can use this feature?

Your station must be on the Bronze or higher plan, Lite is not supported. You can upgrade by heading to Settings > Billing > Change Plan in your dashboard. 

If your station has collaborators, anyone with Station Owner or Station Manager roles will be able to publish to Mixcloud. 

Getting Started

You must have a Mixcloud account in order to use this service. You can sign up free of charge on their website: mixcloud.com.

Once you have an account, in your Radio.co Dashboard head to Settings > Integrations

Publishing Recordings & DJ Mixes

Notes: 

Mixcloud does not allow single songs to be uploaded. Any uploaded tracks must be at least 20 minutes and consist of multiple songs. 

Only recordings created within Radio.co can be uploaded using the Mixcloud Integration.

Content which violates Mixcloud.com's terms of service may be removed from their service.


In your Radio.co Dashboard:

  • If you want to publish a DJ mix you have uploaded to Radio.co, head to Media > Tracks and locate it in the list. Remember the file must be over 20 minutes in length. 

  • If you want to publish a live recording made within Radio.co, head to Media > Recordings. The same 20 minute minimum length applies. 

If you want to upload custom artwork, Click the Actions (...) button next to the recording you wish to upload then click Recording Editor. Here you can change the title, artist and artwork. Click Save when complete.

You can see the status of uploads by the cloud icon next to your recordings as follows:

  • Orange - Upload processing

  • Green - Upload complete

Once an upload is complete, if you head to Publish to Mixcloud within the Actions (...) menu again, you will find a direct link to the mix.
