Do you pay for downloads? Spend 4 minutes and learn to use my website to save time and money so you can buy more amazing music…

This tutorial is written for DJs. Electronic music fans can also use my website to discover new artists and update Spotify playlists.

Why RemixRotation.com?

My primary hobby is DJing electronic music. I buy downloads that I like, from retailers specializing in electronic music, such as Beatport, JunoDownload and Traxsource. Amazon Music and iTunes are much cheeper but their classification is terrible and search-by-genre is useless for electronic music.

Unfortunately, ALL download sites offer just short track previews. I believe it is only fair to us buyers to hear the whole track before we pay for it.

Fortunately, many electronic labels and music producers upload full length music files to YouTube and SoundCloud for promotional purposes.

Unfortunately, YouTube and SoundCloud have very different user interfaces and also allow uploaders to “tag” their media with arbitrary meta-data. This “spam” tagging is the reason we get crap result for searches-by-genre name.

I have created RemixRotation to combine the best characteristics of Beatport, JunoDownload, Traxsource, YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, Amazon and iTunes into one source of electronic music.

most popular tracks @ best prices * best/full previews

Here is how to make the best use of my creation:

0. Please visit from your laptop or desktop

Mobile visitors get smaller pages to improve their page speed.

1. Top 12,500 tracks of the past 31 days

I aggregate 31 days of Top 100 sales charts from Beatport, JunoDownload and Traxsource. In total, you can browse 27 genres. Tracks charted on 2 or 3 websites are grouped together — e.g. instead of the Techno Top 300, you get ~Top 270 + another ~300 that were charted during the past 31 days.

2. NO “bad” tracks

Tastes are subjective, but each track on my pages was at least good enough that some other DJ was willing to pay for it.

3. Full-length previews

You can hear the full track before you buy it, because my Java search engine automatically finds the best matching media on YouTube, SoundCloud and Spotify. Just click play to stream right here, or hit the GREEN Spotify button to use their web player.

4. DJ friendly user-interface

Each genre is a playlist, and each track is available for download right now. Also, you can use the big FAST-FORWARD button to skip to the track peak. Tracks are added each day:

new entries are GREEN on top of the list
other tracks in the current charts right now are RED
tracks that used to be in the chart during the past 31 days are BLUE and on the bottom of the list

5. Filter page: by record label, artist or website

Do you want to buy tracks from Traxsource or iTunes and ignore Beatport, Amazon and JunoDownload? Perhaps you would like to see the current ranking for your favorite artist or record label? Just type the keyword to view filtered results like “tronic records” below:

6. Get the Best PRICE!!!

Click to enlarge these 2 pictures and see #67 “When Frida…”. The screenshots show the same track with multiple prices. I resolved this problem because each link from RemixRotation to anther website is created in a way to let you see the best price currently available on the site: Beatport, JunoDownload, Traxsource, Amazon or iTunes.

Note the #67 most purchased track “When Frida…” being sold for $2.49 (Beatport Progressive House Top100 on Feb 8 2017)

But actually, this same track has been released on 4 other occasions and can be purchased for $1.49 instead of the $2.49 duplicate in the chart above!

7. Best-of-2017 (so far) & Best-of-2016

In addition to the top 12,500 tracks of the past 31 days, we are also processing the entire calendar 2016 and 2017 to chart the top 10,000 of the year, respectively. In this case, tracks are ranked based on their highest position in the top 100 daily charts as well as the total views/plays of all related media on YouTube+SoundCloud. To set the browsing mode, use the homepage and toggle between the 3 settings:
