Where do DJs get their music in 2024? 

Good advice to own your core library (back catalogue) and rent/stream the new stuff. The ability to access millions of tracks without needing to buy them has devalued music to the public, along with so much being uploaded (one every second on Spotify). It's hard to find the occassional needle among the millions of haystacks.

[Tyson], I am a big fan I hope you're doing great! I’ve been following your channel for a while now, and I’m really impressed with your content. Your videos are engaging, and I can see the hard work you put into each one. I’m a thumbnail designer, and I’d love to collaborate with you to create eye-catching thumbnails that reflect the quality of your videos and draw even more viewers in. I’ve got a few ideas that I think would really make your content pop. If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to show you a few samples or even create a custom thumbnail for one of your upcoming videos, no strings attached. Looking forward to hearing from you! ❤❤

Best video on how to source music, very close to my own process.

So true what you’re saying about the streaming services. For me personally I will stick to zip dj just because I like having a collection like you were saying. I’m also pretty good at updating my music library on zip dj for the latest tracks too 👌🏼

Is there anyway to use zipdj if your not a pro and use to begin djing

Just remember streaming is just another thing to go wrong, a DJ should have a good selection of tunes to cater to most people anyway on their drive. I dont like the the idea of owning nothing and been happy, always build your own library. Spotify,Apple Music,Amazon Music,Tune In etc are a cancer to the music industry for me its all about controlling what you consume. 90% of my music is now promos that are sent to me, I like to avoid record pools especially the likes of Mash-Up as I don't want to sound the same as every other DJ. Just me personally...

I was put off by a record pool because i thought it was for DJs only and you had to apply lol

You should make a video about the current stats of music. Allso check of this video if u do👇 Rick Beato Know You're Angry, So Am I...
