![]() ZipDJ was launched in 2007, and gradually grew from there, so you can safely expect close to zero content before 2007, and overall sparse content from those early years, compared to the steady stream of music it would be building in later years. For example: if a popular trance track from 20 years ago just now got a new remix EP and the original mix is included inside that EP. If there's a recent release by a label that happens to include an older track in that release, then that track will also be in the record pool. That's not to say, however, that there are no classic trance tracks in there at all. For this reason, even though labels that were famous for trance in the late 90s and early 2000s like Positiva and Armada still submit their music to ZipDJ, you aren't likely to find their classic trance releases in there. I have never seen a label upload their back catalogue to a record pool before - just the new releases. However, if you say you're a professional DJ in your application there's basically no way for them to prove you wrong, so you're almost guaranteed acceptance.īecause labels submit their music to record pools with the intent of promoting their music to ultimately increase their sales, they only submit new releases. Officially, ZipDJ is only open to "professional DJs" and doesn't intend their services to be used by bedroom DJs or people who just want unlimited music for the price of the subscription. This is one reason why you have to submit an application to ZipDJ and have to wait for approval, rather than it simply being a service open to anyone. Labels would normally send these tracks to DJs as free promos so that they can play them in clubs or on the radio to advertise their music, and this just happens to be an easy, quick way for labels to distribute music promotionally. Ultimately, a record pool's goal isn't to give you a bunch of music for free, but rather to be the middleman between labels and those who can advertise their music for them to a wide audience for free (DJs). If there's any labels you have in mind, I recommend doing Ctrl+F on this page to see what kind of labels are included. Here's an incomplete list of 1,700 of those labels in a Wayback Machine link: (the current version of this page doesn't display them all at once anymore) (may take several seconds to load) I did my one-month subscription to ZipDJ that I described in the above comment back in 2017, so my memory of the stuff on the site is a little hazy admittedly.Īccording to their website, ZipDJ currently features music from more than 3,000 labels.
