For DJs, radio and curators

Join the promo pool: get music you actually want to play, in one place

Free for curators, and always will be. Promos arrive as a page with a player instead of a folder of attachments, passing on a track is one click, and passing means you stop hearing about it.

Why another promo list is a hard sell, and we know it

  • Fifteen promos a week, each a zip attachment and a wall of text, none of them in the genre you play.
  • Saying no to a track and getting the same track again from the same person a fortnight later.
  • Download links that expire before you get to your studio machine.
  • No way to tell an artist “not for me” without an awkward email.

One page per track, no account needed

A promo opens as a page with a player and the details that matter — BPM, key, genre, length. Nothing to install, no password, nothing to unzip before you can hear it.

Sorted by what you actually play

You pick your genres when you join, and senders target by genre. It does not make every promo relevant, but it removes the ones that were never going to be.

Pass once and it stays passed

“Not for me” is one click. It is not a polite fiction: that release stops following you, and there is no reminder wave for people who passed.

Downloads that stay where you left them

WAV, MP3 or AIF when the sender allows it, and everything sent to you collects in one cabinet — so a track you heard on your phone is still there when you sit down to build the set.

Say something back, briefly

A rating and a line of text, if you want. Artists read it, and a good line from you travels — which is the part that makes promos worth opening in the first place.

Leaving is one click too

Unsubscribe is permanent. One click stops the artist who wrote to you; one more choice on the same page stops every artist on the service. Re-importing a list does not bring you back.

Where to start

Free for curators — there is no paid tier for you

Plans on this service are for people sending music. If you receive it, you pay nothing, ever, and there is nothing to upgrade to.

Questions

Does it cost anything to be in the pool?

No. Plans are for senders. Curators are never charged and there is no paid tier to move to.

How many emails will I get?

Fewer than an open list, because senders pay per email into the pool and are limited by their plan — a monthly ceiling on pool emails is part of what they buy. Sending you irrelevant music costs them their own quota.

Do I have to give feedback?

No. Rating and commenting are optional on every promo. Passing on a track is one click and needs no explanation.

Can I get out?

One click stops that artist for good; the same page lets you stop every artist on the service instead. A sender re-importing an old list cannot bring you back — suppression outlives the list it came from.

Who sees my email address?

Senders reaching you through the pool address you by name and never see your address — it is not shown in the interface, not included in exports and not in the page source. If you gave your address to an artist directly, that is their list and their contact.
