DJ's of Lemmy, where/how are you getting music for your arsenal? (midwest.social)

Basically title. Been DJ'n for a hot minute and wondering how people are adding to their collections. Mostly mix House, DnB, Dub, Hip-hop, Lofi, and plenty of genre-blurring niche experimental biz.

Some of the stuff I have was inherited from others, some of questionable quality. Lately I've been inspired to tidy up my collection with high quality stuff. Fundamental issue is if I paid a dollar for every song I want to spin, I would be financially ruined forever.

Do you use a service? Do you pirate? Do you find giveaways? How are you filling your catalogue with proper high-quality ammo?

Most probably use a music service of some sort. I don’t DJ anymore, but these are a few of my old favorites:

Promo Only: https://promoonly.com — This one has been around forever. Pricey but recommended.
MP3PoolOnline: https://mp3poolonline.com
Direct Music Service: https://www.directmusicservice.com

I’m sure there are a whole lot more too!

I second promo only. Never been a dj but used it to find new music. Pirated ofc.
