How to DJ's get unreleased tracks and such

also. follow artists on twitter, s-cloud m-cloud and the like
See if they have a record label with a mailing list.
I am on a few of them and yes, directly from their pre-distribution mailer, i get links to download prereleases exclusivly just because i am on their list

i guess owning an online radio station helps but its not always the answer

You can get on promo lists by simply talking to the producers/artists or if you approach the specific label and ask, but most of the bigger labels will only send you stuff once you have a few residencies or a radio show or both lol

"Like" your favorite artists on facebook as well. Often, new tracks will be up for download for a short time. Got a banger Krewella track last week that way.

yes i also suggest "liking" people on social media sites, i get tons of free , pre-release tracks , legally, from the artists this way.

Definitely this. Easiest way to get new music.

yeah FB does wonders. Make sure you select " show in notifications" to see everything they post or else you just get random stuff once and awhile.

check some artist's website as well. like i know Pretty Lights gives away all his albums for free DL on his PL site.

Rusko just dropped a new EP as well that is a pay with tweet/fb share. Free dl just share the link.

Same here, but it's far too scarce... only some tech & deep house.

If only I could get cool real techno promos...

sound pool and get to know producers.... um buy it the day it comes out on beatport... blogs good luck

please keep in mind its not just about finding the list and asking to get on it
You would be seen in a better light by these folks if you also had something to offer

following artist on social networks is key. got tons of unreleased edits and even some unreleased tracks.
