In Building A Great DJ Music Library, DJ and instructor Robert Simoes presents a structured approach to the most fundamental aspect of DJing: curating a winning music collection. While many resources focus on technical skills and gear, this book reveals a DJ's true power in the capacity to filter and curate winning musical selections.

This guide introduces the EBP (Explore, Build, Perform) funnel-a practical workflow that transforms the overwhelming task of music discovery into a manageable, systematic process. From navigating digital platforms like SoundCloud, Beatport, and Bandcamp to organizing tracks in Rekordbox.

You'll discover:

  • How to efficiently explore music across various platforms and identify tracks that will resonate with audiences
  • Strategic approaches to purchasing music that balance quality with budget considerations
  • Practical techniques for organizing your growing collection using playlists, tags, and cue points
  • Methods for creating cohesive set lists with thoughtful progression and emotional arcs
  • Ways to refine your library based on real performance feedback
Whether you're a beginning DJ overwhelmed by endless music choices or an experienced selector looking to refresh your curation approach, this book provides the framework needed to build a distinctive, crowd-moving collection. Drawing from over a decade of experience in electronic music, Simoes combines technical knowledge with philosophical insights about the deeply human connection between DJs, music, and audiences.

Building A Great DJ Music Library is an essential resource for any DJ who understands that in a world of unlimited access to music, finding the right tracks-not just any tracks-is what truly sets great DJs apart.
