subject: Trance Music Charts - How Trance Djs Make It To The Top [print this page] For any DJ it is vital to keep up to date with the latest releases and music charts for whichever style of music they prefer to play. A budding DJ Tiesto falling behind on the latest Trance music charts, for example, is likely to prevent them from getting bigger and better gigs as they won't have the most upfront material that people often expect to hear when they see a DJ.
With so many competing rivals, for a disc jockey to be successful it takes a lot of time, effort and dedication to get ahead of everyone else to create a set that stands out from the rest. Keeping up with the latest releases and musical trends is a step any dedicated DJ should seriously think about if they want to become an established DJ eligible for higher profile bookings.
Top Trance DJs are often sent promotional releases directly by publishers, distributors or record labels trying to promote their latest material. They want to get the big DJs playing their tracks as the amount of promotion this can give the label as well as the track can be phenomenal. Not only that, but they also want to receive feedback from the people that matter so they know how the crowd will react to the music before it is released commercially.
For this reason, high profile DJs don't always have to spend too much time hunting around for the latest releases and finding top Trance chart releases as the majority of the new material comes to them in advance, including near-exclusive, little-known material from up-and-coming music producers. So how does a budding young DJ keep up when they haven't quite made it to that stage?
Although we see the number of physical high street record stores dwindling away to the success of virtual online stores and MP3 it has become somewhat easier to see trends in what people buy and these charts are often made available on each of the stores' websites - but knowing where to look isn't all that obvious. You often have to trawl through hundreds of releases to find what you need.
To make life easier, finding a website that specialises in keeping up to date with the charts is key to making the most of your spare time. They will often collate this information from various outlets based on new releases and the popularity of tracks so you can find exactly what you need in one place. A good website will also deliver the information in an easy-to-read format so you can see exactly what's hot off the press and what other DJs are buying within your genre.
Valuable resources such as these websites that are dedicated to Trance music and charts are vital for any DJ to withstand the heat of the competition and rise above the array of eager deck-spinners. The amount information that can now be found online due to the rise of internet media can help any DJ push their way ahead quickly.
