**Looking for suggestions for record pools**

I have been using club killers and dj tech tools but i find that most of the stuff is kinda cheesy. I would love to find a record pool for proper house music, good underground tech house, techno, some electro house. None of the popular EDM trend mainstage garbage. I am very frustrated as all of my friends are very much switching to open format top 40 DJ gigs. I dont want to conform, I dont do this for the money I do it for the love of music…

I don’t think there is a decent pool for ‘underground’ techno and house. Your best bet is to browse [residentadvisor.net](http://residentadvisor.net), listen to podcast’s, boiler room’s and hunt down tracklists on mixesdb. Once you find some artists you like, look up what label they release on via [discogs.com](http://discogs.com) and drill down to new artists/e.p’s from there. Subscribe to some YouTube channels like hurfyd, Recordloft Bros, CMYK, 7296272962, secretsundazerecords. Be prepared to run into a shit tone of great vinyl only releases which will probably get you on a set of 1200’s.

A lot of the time on [discogs.com](http://discogs.com) the track has been ripped to youtube, so on the page for the record there’s an embedded youtube player. You can browse on record stores like [Juno.co.uk](http://Juno.co.uk) and [redeyerecords.co.uk](http://redeyerecords.co.uk) and hear a snippet like on beatport, I usually have a youtube browser tab open and just copy and paste the ‘artist - track name’ and 9x out of 10 its been ripped from a radio show, online mix, or ripped in full by a fan or the label.
