Dance music fans and DJs today have a huge choice in music. Hundreds of new tracks are being released on a daily basis. In the past you needed an entire band and a studio to record your track. Today with electronic music only a low latency soundcard, sequence software, software instruments and inspiration are required. The Internet also makes it very easy to distribute music or find a label that is interested in publishing your music. A huge amount of websites supply music for you to listen to, purchase and download. But how do you know what is the best music for you? Are you interested in all the releases from Tiesto, Armin van Buren or any other hyped producer? Or are you focusing on all the charts? If this is the case, then all DJ's would play the same rotations and everybody would have the same music collection on their mp3 player and music library. I agree there are always the must haves or must plays; but to stand out, to be innovative and original, requires a different approach. that ensures you don't miss the music releases of unknown producers.
How can you make sure you don't miss those releases without having to purchase thousands of songs?
Here are a few of options.
1. Check out every new YouTube posting regarding your style of music.
2. Listen to online radio stations and write down everything you like.
3. Listen to samples on the popular music selling sites.
4. Keep track of producers and labels and scan for new releases.
Then, once you find a service, you have to listen to all the music to make sure it passes your quality standards.
There is a huge amount to listen to. In March, for example, around 6000 new cuts of House, Dance, Techno, Progressive and electro music were released. Most of them (70%) will definitely not pass your quality standards. Do you want to invest a lot of time listening?
The cool thing is that there are already people that separate the good from the bad. And they post their findings on the internet. You should, of course, have an equal taste in music with your selected poster, but that is easy to find out. Listen to a couple of their featured tracks and you know if there is a match or not. You could then use the site or blog as your personal music advisor.
