I've used DJcity as my go-to record pool since around 2013, but I've been pretty disappointed by it recently so I'll definitely give BPM Supreme a try!
For me DJ city use to have the tunes before I'd heard them on the radio, now I'm hearing tunes on the radio and DJ city doesn't have them. The only problem I'm finding is I need a record pool that has all the RnB hip hop and UK stuff as well as the house side of things.
💯 agreed mate, it just doesn’t have half the stuff it used to! Yeah and for sure, I feel it misses a lot across genres so you always have to top up elsewhere. I think that’s the same with most of these pools these days.
Good video. Would love another vs between pools like Headliners, Clubkillers, etc. Would also have liked it if you mentioned both of their mobile apps, and that an advantage DJcity has, is their desktop app. Also, BPM goes months, sometimes close to a year without updating their curated playlists. Right now, their trending list top 40 songs hasn't added any new songs to it sings around June. Overall great stuff though. Good comparison.
Great Video . . I'm the Free trial of the Soundcloud DJ .. But because it's STREAMING you CAN'T SHARE, download and so many limitations. What's the point. So I'm looking at these Next
Good review I've been with dj city for a while and got bored with the lack of big tracks BPM supreme sounds worth a go. Cheers Karl, keep the vids coming mate
Hi CT Im new to the channel 1st video i watched was regarding the HD25 headphones I now have a pair on the way As for the BPM supreme When you say download does that mean i can put them on usb stick and keep the tracks ? I have a xdj xz so it a standalone system There for i use just a usb Thanks
Great choice on the headphones! As for the record pools- yes download means you own the track so can store on a laptop and then transfer onto a USB. Great controller you have there!
Is there a website that provides the songs at the bpm you request it to be, as recorded from a vinyl record and not bpm-stretched from a .wav, .mp4, .aiff, ect. files which causes a great loss of sound quality as when you do it yourself beyond 3 bpms on your own computer's DAW?
@Karl Thomas You got it bruh! Btw your video is put together excellently. I'm here revisiting, needing a refresher, because there's a chance I might be DJing for a small department picnic at my job and I really-really don't have enough 80's and 90's R&B! (My iDJPool lacks them) And again it looks like I shall go with BPM Supreme!
That’s a very specific ask…I would recommend buying individual tracks. Record pools usually cater for up to date/ current tracks. BPM supreme has some throwback stuff but you are looking for something very specific. Online record stores are your best bet. Not a pool.
@@djkarlthomas Sadly I can't find this track to buy anywhere without a credit card. Would have bought the vinyl secondhand and sampled the track myself if I still had turntables. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts on this.
sorry this maybe a stupid question but I have never used a record pool and just bought downloads. Are the downloads encrypted in any way do they prevent you recording your dj set if they have tracks from either record pool?? also do the download tracks still work if you downloaded when you was subscribing but if you have cancelled your subscription or do they only work for the time you in in a subscription period??
Thanks for the question- you can record sets no issue. If you cancel the subscription you also do not lose the download as the file is physically placed onto your machine. Streaming services however you will lose the music.
I appreciate the information but what's the best DJ Pool for up and coming individuals that can't answer the 4 questions for like BPM Supreme. Basically, someone that isn't a Professional DJ. I'm looking to build my library. Thanks
To be honest- don’t be put off by the questions on BPM, they are all automated and not checked in depth by an actual person. I know quite a few beginner DJs that have it. Best thing to do is try a record pool and see if you like it. Each one will have slightly different music and suits people differently however they are not a one size fits all- you will have to top up your collection with tracks from elsewhere too. Best of luck!!
Just starting out and when you cancel your subscription to bpm supreme are your downloads removed? (May sound silly) I thought if you’ve downloaded them you are yours. Starting out I would like the best sounding quality music but may not have the requirement to be paying every month.
I have some track from bpmsupreme that I downloaded I got told of because the audio was heavily compressed to the point where there's no dynamics have u had any issue with the track I'm trying to figure out what's going on I myself is a dj whan I played the track through 8-inch speakers there was no bass
I have never had an issue with any record pool downloads. If you are djing on 8-inch speakers and have no subs I am not surprised that you didn’t have any bass. Speakers of that size are too small for a full range sound with rich bass.
If you want that type of quality file you are best off going for buying your tracks individually through a site like beatport. Crate connect and some other pools do offer WAV files but it’s not for all tracks
No record pool is going to be a complete solution in my years of using lots of different ones. They are a good starting point and then you will need to top up your tracks using other sources.
kinda surprised that you're not talking about the legality of promo pools and how it is ILLEGAL to post throwback content. which is why DJcity doesn't post it.
@@djkarlthomas fair enough. Might be worth researching as these illegal companies will face repercussions soon if not already (BPM has already purged a ton of content, removed music videos, etc).
they are both sucked ,,,the best one is franchise record pool. both bpm and dj city they enough music on them .can you imagine bpm supreme only have 3 Mary j bridge song
I've used DJcity as my go-to record pool since around 2013, but I've been pretty disappointed by it recently so I'll definitely give BPM Supreme a try!
Have a little look round the pool before you subscribe for sure!
For me DJ city use to have the tunes before I'd heard them on the radio, now I'm hearing tunes on the radio and DJ city doesn't have them. The only problem I'm finding is I need a record pool that has all the RnB hip hop and UK stuff as well as the house side of things.

Beatsource?
Bpm baby! Had em both. Have had Bpm consistently, haven't used djcity in forever.....
Haha same mate! Still on BPM now and haven’t re-subbed to dj city since doing this video!
Good job Karl very realistic and informative explanations.
Thank you mate and thank you for tuning in 👊🏽
I actually Use Both! I do miss that BPM had the videos, at one point. Wish they still offered that service.
Good video. Would love another vs between pools like Headliners, Clubkillers, etc.
Would also have liked it if you mentioned both of their mobile apps, and that an advantage DJcity has, is their desktop app. Also, BPM goes months, sometimes close to a year without updating their curated playlists.

Overall great stuff though. Good comparison.
Thank you for the feedback 😊
😂😂l and I am e of p
I tried both but Bpm reigns supreme!
I most certainly agree at the moment! My DJcity subscription is coming to an end soon and for now I won’t be renewing. Thank you for watching
I'm Currently Using BPM Supreme since it has the Old school Tunes that i like. its never let me Down over the last 2 Years
Great to hear!! It certainly beats DJ city right now
@@djkarlthomas it sure does
for me as Hiphop DJ amd commercial DJ..DJ CITY is the best ever..but if you play house music..BPM supreme the best for any house music
Agreed! Dj City has always been a bit stronger on the Hip Hop side
Thank you for this helpful video
I’m glad it was useful! Thank you for watching

Nice one and thank you for watching! I have quite a few different record pool reviews on this channel so you can consider a good few of them!
Beatsource and tidal is the ish! SoundCloud for local artists
The ish???
@@djkarlthomas tha shhhhh
Great info, thanks!

Amazing info for a newbie like me! :)

Hi CT
Im new to the channel
1st video i watched was regarding the HD25 headphones
I now have a pair on the way
As for the BPM supreme
When you say download does that mean i can put them on usb stick and keep the tracks ?
I have a xdj xz so it a standalone system
There for i use just a usb
Thanks
Great choice on the headphones! As for the record pools- yes download means you own the track so can store on a laptop and then transfer onto a USB. Great controller you have there!
I’m more of a hobbyist DJ. I can’t sign up for any of these DJ pools sites without a Website, social media links, etc.
Yes you can….they don’t really take much notice. I know lots of people that don’t Dj and have subscriptions to record pools
I signed up for BPM Supreme without one. I don’t know if they require it now.
@@DJMelloSoul Nice one- thank you for the update :)
Thanks!
thanks bro i think i may need to switch
Nice one and thanks for watching
Looks like DJcity have changed to a monthly plan now £10 for first month for new users and then £20 a month... Or a 6 month plan
Yes indeed! I cover this off in my latest video up on the channel now :). Thank you for watching!
THANKS ALOT
Glad you found it useful
Is there a website that provides the songs at the bpm you request it to be, as recorded from a vinyl record and not bpm-stretched from a .wav, .mp4, .aiff, ect. files which causes a great loss of sound quality as when you do it yourself beyond 3 bpms on your own computer's DAW?
BPM needs to give you some sort of promotion mate I am sold after this ( play tech so I needed a pool which follows beatports top 100)
Hope it delivers for you mate!
Okay, BPM Supreme it is!
Glad this was useful! Thank you for watching
@Karl Thomas You got it bruh! Btw your video is put together excellently.

Have a look at mastermix too mate! Really good for throwback stuff
@Karl Thomas Oh okay! Thank you much!!
Best pool for nineties techstep? For instance, I've been searching for Elementz of Noize - Astral 97 for ages...
That’s a very specific ask…I would recommend buying individual tracks. Record pools usually cater for up to date/ current tracks. BPM supreme has some throwback stuff but you are looking for something very specific. Online record stores are your best bet. Not a pool.

Ah such a shame! Yeah sorry mate, record pools I don’t think will be right for this! Good luck with the search!
Nice comparison video Karl 😎🎧👍🏻

What's better DJ City or zipDj?
Not actually used Zip DJ before but watch this space as thinking of subscribing and I will make a video if I do!
Just starting out and when you cancel your subscription to bpm supreme are your downloads removed? (May sound silly) I thought if you’ve downloaded them you are yours. Starting out I would like the best sounding quality music but may not have the requirement to be paying every month.
No downloads are removed when you cancel- they are downloaded files on your laptop/computer. I switch up record pools all the time
But do you get to keep the music you download? Like if you stop the subscription?
Yes the music is yours to keep
Are you able to keep the music on bpm supreme after you cancel your subscription??
Yes- I no longer have a subscription. The music is downloaded to your computer directly
@@djkarlthomas are you still using record pools ? If so what service are you on now
Hey mate I am currently using themashup.co.uk and have a review on my channel of this pool too 🙌🏼
Can i use any of these in offline mode still access the songs say im djin in a field with no internet
Yes because you would download the tracks onto your laptop before you dj so the file exists on your computer
So if I download the track and stop paying monthly do I keep the music or does it dissappear from my software?
You Keep the music- the files are downloaded to your machine
I have some track from bpmsupreme that I downloaded I got told of because the audio was heavily compressed to the point where there's no dynamics have u had any issue with the track I'm trying to figure out what's going on I myself is a dj whan I played the track through 8-inch speakers there was no bass
I have never had an issue with any record pool downloads. If you are djing on 8-inch speakers and have no subs I am not surprised that you didn’t have any bass. Speakers of that size are too small for a full range sound with rich bass.
@@djkarlthomas ill we transfer one of the song and check the waveforms as well
have you used zipdj? how does it compare?
No I haven’t! I will check it out! Thank you!
@@djkarlthomas thank you very much!
Do you know if you download the songs then cancel your subscription do you keep your songs?
Ah just seen this. But yeah as I replied on insta 😊
Which pool is best for psytrance DJ?
For really niche genres I would always recommend buying individual tracks
Hi mate, i am looking for a wav or aiff quality files to download my electronic house music, monthly payment, any knowledge please welcome...!?
If you want that type of quality file you are best off going for buying your tracks individually through a site like beatport. Crate connect and some other pools do offer WAV files but it’s not for all tracks
Bpm supreme kept their pricing and quit videos. Lost my clientelle
which one has more of old songs?
Bpm supreme however no pool is outstanding for older music. I would recommend something like iTunes or Amazon and download individual tracks
@@djkarlthomas AMAZON MUSIC IS AMAZING
DJcity 🥳🎧
Dj city 👋
bpm supreme lacks new music, and some old school hits , never again , will try dj city
I have been very transparent in all my reviews on how many tracks are available in relation to the charts at the time of filming
So what’s better than djcity and bpm supreme ?
No record pool is going to be a complete solution in my years of using lots of different ones. They are a good starting point and then you will need to top up your tracks using other sources.
@@djkarlthomas Can you do a review of Franchise Record Pool?
Oooo nice one mate!! I’ll look into it
Inflation hit bpm
Ouch
BPM Supreme music sounds muffled. I don't like it
Have never experienced this myself.
kinda surprised that you're not talking about the legality of promo pools and how it is ILLEGAL to post throwback content. which is why DJcity doesn't post it.
Unfortunately I am not a lawyer so this is not my area of expertise. DJcity used to post a few throwbacks here and there.
@@djkarlthomas fair enough. Might be worth researching as these illegal companies will face repercussions soon if not already (BPM has already purged a ton of content, removed music videos, etc).
I will do mate! Thanks and thank you for watching
BPM Supreme doesn't seem to have much. 9 tracks for Afrojack?
Zip DJ seems to perform better for electronic music
BPM is hot trash
I think it’s subject to opinion depending on what you are looking for music wise.
agree ,,,bpm supreme aint got a lot of music on there
they are both sucked ,,,the best one is franchise record pool. both bpm and dj city they enough music on them .can you imagine bpm supreme only have 3 Mary j bridge song
I’ll look into this one thanks mate!!
