25+ Best WordPress Music & DJ Themes for 2020

Today we examine the best WordPress music and DJ themes presently available in 2020.  Most of the these themes are aimed specifically at DJs, music producers, record labels, independent radio stations and other music industry businesses.

If you’re looking specifically for themes made for bands and solo musicians, check out our companion article, 22+ Best WordPress Musician & Band Themes.

The requirements for a DJ, music producer, or label theme are straight-forward.  An audio player is a must-have.  Preferably, an events manager of some kind will be provided.  All of the themes on this list meet those requirements. 

Often, custom post types add music-oriented functionality to these themes, and you may want to add content like artist profiles, discographies, and videos.  If you intend to sell physical media and merchandise from the site, you might want to ensure whatever theme you choose offers WooCommerce support.

These themes were sourced by hand by an experienced designer.   Great design and above average functionality was the criteria.   The order isn’t terribly important, though we often do favor the themes near the top of the list.

Before we get started, if you’re not wedded to WordPress, you may want to consider using a cloud based website creator.  Check out our comparison of WordPress, Wix, Weebly, and Duda.

Vice

No doubt the most striking of Vice’s features are the impressive YouTube video backgrounds, designed to grab your visitors’ attention the moment they land on your site and not let it go.  You can choose a different video for each page of the site, and the included music player (an impressive addition in its own right) is smartly integrated so that video is muted when a track is played.

There’s five music-oriented custom post types: releases, podcast, artist, event and gallery.  An excellent settings panel on the back-end gives you lots of options for adjusting colors, fonts, and other theme elements.  Vice is responsive, high-resolution, and translation-ready.

The screenshot doesn’t fully convey how impressive this theme actually is, so we recommend having a quick peek at the demo and product details page.
