A subscription service giving DJs access to promotional music releases, often before commercial release, in exchange for feedback or performance reporting.
A record pool is a subscription service that distributes promotional music to DJs, often before or alongside commercial release, in exchange for feedback or play reporting. Labels use record pools to seed new music with working DJs quickly.
Why it matters
Record pools give active DJs a steady supply of new releases in DJ-ready formats (typically WAV or high-quality MP3) without hunting individual store releases. They are a primary sourcing channel for mobile, club, and radio DJs who need consistent new content.
