We are the premier music pool for the Pacific Northwest area and have been proudly serving the DJ community continuously since 1977. Although our company name incorporates the words "dance music", we promote styles of uptempo club music...from house to techno and all styles of uptempo dance music with everything in-between. There are a lot of digital pools on the Net that only offer MP3s, but we service all formats of music. Remember, a good music pool is not merely a distribution method, it should be about the local DJ community itself and being able to teach them all that we have learned. If you are a Pacific Northwest area DJ needing the latest music, select the Application link to the left for more info. If you would like to promote your music with us or have questions, just use the Contact Info link for more information. We are honestly in this for the music; we are the only non-profit music pool in the country. We support indie labels as well as majors...all projects equally! Nominated for "Best Record Pool" at the 21st Annual International Dance Music Awards; Winter Music Conference 2006. Celebrating our 32nd year in music promotion.

NEWS: Northwest Dance Music Association is now dance music only.
Starting November 2009, we no longer are taking urban hip hop projects as we do not have the membership to honestly represent the projects the way we should. While we still believe in the power of a pool to promote music at street level in the nightclubs, the realities of the changes in the music industry must be addressed and dealt with as well. Those with questions, feel free to contact me.
TRIBUTE: Buster Meston (1967-2009)
Longtime member Buster passed away on October 25th 2009. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. God must have needed a great DJ!

DJs: need music? Find A Music Pool Near You.
Pools work best locally. National pools don't know your nightclubs, the music stores or the radio stations in your city. This is ESPECIALLY true with pools run by DJs who work at radio stations; they might be all politics & not have your best interests in mind. A lot of us are dying to get new music into your hands! Find the right pool, develop a relationship with the director and get the music and professional advice needed to help you advance your career. Being in a pool is more than just getting new music, it's about learning the craft. Go to http://www.recordpools.org for a list!
