Music on the website is usually displayed as a “release”, which could be a single track, a number of versions of the same track, or a handful of related tracks. No other pool I’ve ever seen has the variety and quality offered by ZIPDJ. Over the years, ZIPDJ has been my primary source of music for gigs at dance clubs, hotel lounges, music festivals, and after hours parties. Whether you want the thumping house sounds of Dark Intensity, the almost-glitch hop of DJ Break, or the unique sounds of Ladato, it’s there. Looking at “Rain On Me”, for example, you have the Original, DJ Intro version, multiple BPM transition edits, and dozens of remixes.

Bottom Line: ZIPDJ has an extensive library of music for digital DJs and one of the best selections of electronic music.This give-and-take is how legitimate record pools provide value both to their members and to the record labels that provide the music. The benefit? ZIPDJ members are often on the cutting edge of music promotion and get to break new records to their audiences first. This attention to the core purpose of why record pools exist seems to have been rewarded by their over 2000+ listed label partners. ZIPDJ works closely with record labels, providing them with valuable metrics and promotion through its members in return for the music that makes up the library. This intention is so that they get a return for their music in the form of play time in front of a wide audience. There are often rules to be members, such as how they need to be working DJs (clubs, radios, etc). Record pools are both a market research and promotional tool for record labels. If you’re new to the concept of a record pool, most provide unlimited downloads of high-quality digital music for a set monthly price. We figured it was about time to revisit ZIPDJ for another deep dive, as the service has been redesigned and improved in almost every way. It sports a brand new website, a new logo, and even more music than before. Since our last review, a lot has changed for the company. It has been nearly four and a half years since we took a look at one of the hidden gems of the record pool world: ZIPDJ. ![]()
