You already know how you’re going to fit it in an existing song that you have in your library, and you even have that all-important “drop” planned out. You want to create your very own mashup of that great new track that just topped the charts a few days ago, just like all your DJ/producer heroes have already done in the past week. We list the best places to get acapellas online so you can drop them in your DJ set for a live mashup or create your own bootlegs (for personal use and production practice, of course) Pic: talkinmusic You know how it is. As more than just a site for samples, Looperman offers tutorials on recording as well as an active forum community of dedicated musicians ready to answer questions, collaborate, or even take your recording requests. Looperman: Getting away from the commercial distribution model for a minute, sites like serve up unique and genuinely underground offerings from artists and music enthusiasts all over the globe. Particular to vocal tracks and hits, you can find everything you’re looking for in their section. With over 800,000 available tracks from 200+ record labels, DJTUNES has positioned themselves nicely as an alternative to the Beatport juggernaut. Though DJTUNES pricing isn’t what you might call competitive with Beatport (most songs will run you about $1.99), their deep catalog of well sorted music fills in many of the holes other sites tend to have. DJTUNES: If Beatport is the Death Star of digital downloads, is the scrappy but fierce Rebellion in the galactic dance track distribution wars.

Most tracks can be had for around $1.49, and if you’re lucky, you may be able to find a compilation of tracks (usually sorted by mood or holiday theme) that give you what you’re looking for at a slightly discounted price.
