In this article, you will find the best websites and record pools to discover new music for your dj sets and playlist. As a DJ, I understand how much of time consuming job it is to find a website that suits yours needs getting the best hits.for your sets. If your constantly looking for a good source, look non further as I created a list of place where safely download music without any issues.
Discover New Music
Artist are always releasing music from the underground all the way to the mainstream but most we don't hear about obviously because of promotion. DSP's like Spotify & Apple Music make it easy to find these artist just by doing little research. Visiting different playlist is a great way to explore different sounds. How I do it is through regions of countries like the East, West ,of the U.S. or go specific, The UK for a more different style. If you find music here its most likely available in record pools and you just will have to find what record pool it's in. Youtube and SoundCloud are good sources to finding new music because they carry a wide range of content from artist that may not be available on DSP's like Spotify and Apple Music but carry weight in the music world from other music lovers who have came across their art. For DJ's only this source helps extremely for your libraries for other audiences this is barely a tool but Mixcloud is a good source because listening to whats played in other DJ mixes, their are a lot of DJ's with their own music and make it fire!
Record Pools
Record Pools are the best way to discover and download the best music. There are some very notable ones that stand out and really help DJs make the crates and sets they need to succeed. First is Heavyhits.com. This is Not Paid Promotional partnership with heavyhits but as a returning subscriber I must say I am impressed with their music library and wide range of genres giving detailed analysis on songs they add helping DJs better understand the music. The only thing that dissatisfies me about them is that their high price of $25 can be just slight lower but I think because of the exclusivity of their music they can price it that way
BpmSupreme is another good record pool for most DJ's. They are another that carries a wide range of music and genres to give the DJs what they need to perform successfully. Pricing is not bad although there have been at times where you need to pay attention to what you download as some songs can be remixes and not the originals
Another great source for Music is Beatsource. Beatsource carries all the Indie music that Producers and DJs release. Lots of Upbeat Uptempo music to get the groove going on the dance floor. Pricing is good here as well. Not the place for mainstream music at all but still a valuable tool.
