for basic commercial music, no record pool finds the underground club music, which is the real music true club goers want to hear. So beatport and bandcamp forever, and cash $$$.

[@DJ_EVISON]

Love this record pool! Thanks again for recommending it 🙌🏼

[@djkarlthomas]

No worries! It’s definitely the best in my opinion.

[@ghostyt.codmobile268]

Zip dj is good for hard techno?

[@Linda-nr3eb]

Thank you very much for uploading these great videos! 💖

[@djkarlthomas]

Glad you like them!

[@edpritchard6897]

U can't become a member unless u are an active DJ...I been doing this for 10 years at my home...Why such a monopoly..The DJ pool for the elite...I'll keep my money and continue using soundcloud and iTunes downloads i've purchase over the years..The demo was good...I have a DDJSX..MPC1..ZOOM LIVE 8...2 MACS...2 MACKIE 15 IN SPEAKERS....

[@djkarlthomas]

They do ask for details about where you DJ however, it’s a bot verifying. I was accepted in minutes so I wouldn’t be put off by these questions.

[@gazog1]

Hello When buy tunes from iTunes can you save them into an external hard drive or save them into your documents ? Cheers

[@Sergidotai]

I find ZipDJ terrible, they say it's one of the largest pools but in fact a lot of songs are actually missing. Also, it is impossible to find entire songs, they're always cut off.

[@djkarlthomas]

I’ve never had these issues you are describing…..

[@djtravismcguire]

@@djkarlthomas he's probably referring to the player on the site. It only plays a sample.

[@djkarlthomas]

@@djtravismcguire fair point!

[@fleetwoodjones1225]

Now I like ZIP DJ but it’s doesn’t let me hear the intros I can only hear the middle of the song. Why have different intro if you can hear them????

[@djkarlthomas]

A lot of pools are like this on their previews? DJ city definitely is! Fair point tho!

[@noway4758]

​@@djkarlthomas Are there any good Drum and Bass pools?

[@djkarlthomas]

Zip is the best for electronic music but I would recommend topping up with stuff from sites like beatport

[@DJ_FIFO]

Which record pool would you recommend for back log such as 70s funk, 80s hiphop, 90s dancehall

[@djkarlthomas]

I have a video on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/onq3n4Z9oqafl80

[@DINU_R]

When you say electronic music. Does it have trance and house mixes too?

[@djkarlthomas]

What do you mean by ‘mixes’ it has all genres of electronic music- house/edm/trance/techno/tech house etc

[@minty6206]

hi mate what dj pool would u reccomend for 80s, 90s, 2000s stuff? great vid btw

[@djkarlthomas]

Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/onq3n4Z9oqafl80

[@nicholassordje4510]

check out crate connect record pool. they have it all

[@310socal]

Anyone what are the others for DJ Pool sources for a back catalog for a US Mobile DJ

[@djkarlthomas]

Have a look as mastermix!

[@georgethedj4946]

I used BPM Supreme for a couple years but I don’t DJ a lot and when I DJ I mostly use streaming through TIDAL. Any recommendations for a place where I can get just the top hits and the clean, edited versions. Thanks

[@djkarlthomas]

Go with any recordpool I mention on this channel but sign up for a monthly subscription and then just cancel when you don’t need it if you aren’t djing regularly.

[@Victor-it6bv]

What's the best option for back logged EDM?

[@djkarlthomas]

Individual downloads- back catalogues are hard to build from record pools as they are largely focused on new music.

[@Victor-it6bv]

@@djkarlthomas Thanks

[@dragsofdrugs]

Hi Karl, hope you're having a good day. Wanted to ask your thoughts on Club Killers Record Pool. Is it worth it. Have you tried Using it ??

[@djkarlthomas]

I have never used it if I’m honest! Maybe one day haha

[@classicdell]

How do you feel about club killers and does Zipp DJ have a large amount of hip-hop rap and R&B

[@djkarlthomas]

Never used club killers and yes Zip DJ seems to have a good mix of all genres

[@Ryl33hz]

I'm trying to find HQ DL-ability for artists like Juche, Skeler, SBU.. basically the whole Imminant Cyber Corp / Arcadia's library, are these artists available on any platforms that you, or any other commenters are aware of?

[@djkarlthomas]

That sounds incredibly specialist. Bottom line is that all record pools appeal to the mass market so you are likely better off buying individually from a site.

[@Ryl33hz]

@@djkarlthomas I appreciate the reply 🤘 after several hours researching, everything I wanted is actually on Beatport already, but the pre-sample quality is atrociously horrible. Hopefully when I pay for the subscription and try it out the actual down loads are much better quality. Thank you ✌️

[@djkarlthomas]

Beatport downloads are 320mbps if you subscribe you will be streaming only.

[@Victor-it6bv]

If EDM songs are missing on ZipDJ, where should I look next?

[@djkarlthomas]

I always recommend to top up your collection with individual tracks from online record stores such as beatport

[@flyvernon7]

cant get these pools unless your a working pro. im just starting out and its so frustrating to have to already be established to be a part of a pool. its bs.

[@djkarlthomas]

Just fill in your details and they will accept you. I’ve never known anyone be declined from submitting an application

[@flyvernon7]

@@djkarlthomas thanks so much for the information! Appreciate it.

[@jesssage]

Hi! Can I use zipdj songs to record mixes straight from rekordbox? :)

[@jesssage]

And also, if I made this music into a mix, and posted it to SoundCloud would it be flagged as copyright?

[@djkarlthomas]

Yes you can download songs and make into a mix. The tracks are yours once you download. There is no guarantee that tracks from anywhere are immune from copyright flags. This is down to the labels and soundcloud and not the place you download them from.

[@jesssage]

@@djkarlthomas fantastic thanks so mjch

[@fred_everything]

Except they use music from artists and labels without an agreement. We just found out about it.

[@djkarlthomas]

Do you have evidence for your claim?

[@fred_everything]

Yes. We found some of our label's catalog on there as well as my own music on a few labels. None of those had agreements and were uploaded without our knowledge. It's possible they have some agreements in place but not with everyone. We asked our music to be removed yesterday when we found out but we still have the screenshots of it being there.@@djkarlthomas
