    DJ Pools and Promo's in my opinion are very different.

    Any one can sign up to a DJ pool, if you ask me it's a lazy way to get music.

    Promo's mean, the Label/Artist etc actually respect your opinion and want feedback.

    I'm on a couple of promo lists, I got onto them after meeting DJs at gigs and things just progressed from there.

    Promo lists aren't normally things YOU ask to be on, but GET asked to be on.

    I also agree that DJ Pools and promo lists are completely different.

    This this thread is a lost cause.

    You get ASKED to be on promo lists by the label/DJ etc, you do NOT ask to be on them.

    I am NOT asking, I'm paying. I'm buying it. I'm using money to get something from an industry that ONLY cares about money.

    Throw your money around if you want, you'll only end up spending it on sh*t music.

    Yes the commercial side of the music industry is focused on money.

    But a lot of the underground labels, the ones who actually put a lot of love care and effort into their releases are not in it for the money.

    I use my money to support the artists and labels that actually deserve.

    I can guarentee half the stuff on promo pools will be utter sh*t.

    i agree with you man.

    But I play comercial stuff, which is what works here in Brazil.

    Maybe this promo list is a bad idea, but maybe its not. Thats whats going in my head, maybe I'm missing suff.

    Well, noone shown me some way of paying it so I think the discussion is over.

    Anyway thank you guys for all the info
