Does anyone remember dancerecords.com … what happened to them? they rocked the vinyl.
I like Traxsource, Juno and Stompy. I hit Beatport last if I cannot find a track anywhere else.
iTunes and beatport for the win!
I subscribe to DJCity.com and 8thwonderrecordpool.com. DJ City is good for the commercial and the remixes. 8thwonder is good for videos as well as more house electro and also commercial. It costs me about $40 a month and I probably download 50+ tracks a month so its worth it for sure.
I have some dancerecords.com white labels 
I can’t believe how many people use iTunes to DJ. Really surprising. I just searched for my Top 10 tracks on iTunes and zero came up? I feel that if you are relying on iTunes as a DJ you are falling behind. Just a tip. Even if you are a Top 40 DJ, get on DJCity or something if you want to step up your game.
Beatport and Soundcloud. I use spotify sometimes(particularly the sounddrop app) to help find new music.
Sometimes I have to wait a week or two from the initial release date to buy something, as it was released at other stores first. If it was that important I would have got the physical/digital media pack a month earlier, I can save the $40 for a nuerofunk track. It might also be genre dependent, they tend to have most of the DnB I want to buy.
It is also the convenience of being able to shop while waiting somewhere on my phone. I like beatport and trackitdown but still shop iTunes more.
CDPool in the UK although imo, the quality of their cds/standard of track selection is very hit and miss. They had a new guy about a year ago who picked some real good stuff in his first few months but its went downhill across the board.
Also one of the guys who works for them produces and does remixes (7th heaven) and he abuses his position wildly, every month theres a crazy amount of his production on their discs…
BP and hmvdigital for older stuff
on the itunes side, as far as i know, itunes dont license their music for public performance, its for personal use only. thats despite having a produb license (in the uk)
I agree, I have never bought anything from itunes. As a DJ for the 99 cents you spend for 1 track on itunes, you can get the clean version, the dirty version, the intro/clean, the intro/dirty version, intro/first hook versions plus any and all remixes for the price of your subscription and its unlimited. I can go look at the hot tracks on beatport and go to 1 of my sites and chances are they have it. SO I recommend to any DJ to look into a record pool.
beatport, itunes, soundcloud and I subscribe to the DJCity record pool.
yeah, I noticed that too 
i torrent, but the music i spin is mostly underground things from unsigned artists, where their only chance to get music out is put a torrent on their blog or something. i usually get all my music i need from blogs and free promos. just look deeper, and you will find undiscovered artists with free music just begging to be heard. find some good stuff, and you are in business!
Most of the music I play is only released only on vinyl or not formally released at all just put on soundcloud. Vinyl comes from Toolbox but I scatter orders to other stores when things sell out before I get an order in; digital if available (which is next to nothing really) from Juno.
im still in the learning process. people say i’m doing good enough to start posting up mixes, but i don’t feel i’m there yet. but if i ever start posting them up, ill be sure to post on DJTT
Hey don’t worry, get on a post I reckon, it’s all a good learning curve, don’t worry about it too much. DJ’s can be the worst critics BUT I would also argue they may be the best to judge on a technical level, so it’s a good way to learn I would say.
Didn’t realize the folks on this forum were so into their music being legal.
Also… itunes? Guys, really? Don’t they only offer 256 kbps…?
What % of DJTT users do you think use torrents for their music?
I ask because no-one has said that they do. Why? are they shy about admitting it on here do you think?
Im guessing it would be 80% +
Yeah, because the difference between the 320kbps you get on Beatport e.a. is that big of a difference…
im sure many of us do, but this site does not condone piracy, so us as the users can not express our condolance either. i would say many users do, but because they post on this site, cannot claim that they do in the pages of the forums.
EDIT:
also, many users on here pride themselves of not pirating their music, and being as straight up in obtaining their music as possible. this is for many reasons including personal views on piracy, and the consequences of being caught deter them, as well as many people can actually afford it and enjoy supporting the music industry. as i recall there have been a few stories of DJ Careers ending after it being discovered that they had played pirated music, or were in possession of it as they passed through certain countries on their way to a gig.
there are legitimate reasons to pirate as well as many not to. but that is for another thread if you want to discuss that. as for people admitting to pirating their music, that is not something to express on this site.
And apart from all that: there is more to actually buying your MP3s (or whatever format you prefer) than the question of legality.
