About Hits District & How It Works

Hits District is a website dedicated to curating great music. Think of it like a Spotify playlist, but built specifically for working DJs.

The short version: we don’t host or sell music. We curate and embed our favourite tracks from official sources, and send listeners straight to buy or stream them. We’re a discovery platform for DJs, not a download service.

How Hits District works

We do not host or offer any downloadable content. DJs still purchase tracks through Beatport, Amazon, or wherever they normally buy music.
This is a music curation website for the purpose of showcasing new music to professional DJs, club, festival, wedding and everything in between.
We only embed our favourite music using SoundCloud, Beatport, Traxsource and YouTube embeds. The audio is served by those platforms, not by us.
We actively help labels and independent artists boost digital sales of their music, alongside monetised streams, by sending our listeners directly to their tracks.
We put real effort into ensuring any music we embed is official and uploaded with full permission. However, if an artist has a downloadable attached to their content on SoundCloud, YouTube or another platform (which is unofficial or without permission), that is between the artist and the platform. Please contact the uploader and/or report it to the platform directly. It is the artist’s responsibility to ensure their content does not infringe copyright. We always take caution when curating music, and will co-operate with any request to remove an embed from our site.
