Even with the success of Itunes and other digital music portals, little attention has been paid to the webs potential to provide music to DJs and radio programmers. Little attention that is, until now. “Trakheadz.com provides a reciprocal relationship between artists and one of the most of the most important groups of decision makers for new music, the working DJ at club and radio stations” explains Steve Keitt, founder and CEO of Trakheadz.com. “We’ve taken the concept of the record pool and streamlined it, modernized it, and brought technology to it.”

 

Record pools are made up of working DJs who get new tracks from the source (the pool), to whom they report back their play lists. These are used to create pool charts. But Pools have proven to be cost prohibitive for many DJs, due to rising shipping costs. Trakheadz dispenses entirely with postage and vinyl pressing expenses by connecting artist and labels with over 50,000 DJs world-wide via the internet.
