Dj download pools, exclusive [new] music, paid subscription??

Anybody know of any decent "Download Pools", or "Dj Download Pools" for electronic music? I know of a couple for Rap/Hip-Hop which are very legit.

It is basically a paid service with some of the newest underground/released material in the market...I just haven't been able to find any for house or electronic music.

Any help is much appreciated!

I dunno about any digital pools. I think you would probably have to dig... digital style lol. I like this question though, I would love to do 1 less thing when it came to obtaining fresh music. I would just google that shit, i'm sure there would have to be a few results that were legit...

I'm guessing it may be non-existent for this genre?

baroque has one

but fuck paying a monthly/yearly fee to get tracks that will eventually come out

if you want "underground" just go research netlabels

Pro Tip: If you're an even remotely capable writer who can compose reviews and land a position doing so for a relatively high traffic music related website, you can land yourself on a lot of promo pools.

Requires a degree of dedication/persistence. and the ability to enjoy writing and doing it well.

Also, if you're a working DJ, do it under a pseudonym.

That's great advice. Thank you.

suit yourself. $100 a month for tons of upfront promos? i think it's a good deal. i've spent $300 so far and gotten over 1700 tracks from them, less than 0.25c a track is a good deal if you ask me.

the upside is getting a bunch of tunes that aren't out yet, some may never be released. I also get full albums of a lot of stuff, cuts from new producers etc. most of the tunes are of average quality, a rare one is a total stinker, and some are amazingly good.

the downside? trying to listen to 1700 tracks in 3 months and pick out the good ones.
