What’s inside
A real working document, not a playlist.
Every issue arrives as a 64 page PDF and a 90 minute audio mix. Open it on a flight, read the notes on a train, queue the tracks in your booth. Built to be used, not scrolled.
-
01
Fifty tracks, fully credited.
Artist, label, BPM, key, year, and the room it was first cued in. Searchable, sortable, exportable to Rekordbox.
-
02
Notes from the floor.
A short paragraph on every track, written by a DJ who has played it. Why it works, when to drop it, what to mix into.
-
03
The 90 minute mix.
A continuous mix that sequences a quarter of the index. Beatmatched, pitched, with timestamps.
-
04
Five label dossiers.
Five labels worth knowing this quarter. Founders, catalogue, where to start, where to write to.
-
05
The crate.
A downloadable folder of art, tracklists, and a printable A2 poster of the cover index.
-
06
A back issue archive.
Every past issue, free, the moment you sign up. Thirteen quarters of working DJ taste, all at once.
Who reads it
If you spend any of your week thinking about the next set, this is for you.
Label heads & A&Rs
For the next signing.
See what working DJs are quietly cueing months before it surfaces on charts. Five label dossiers a quarter from people who run rooms, not algorithms.
Music writers
For a piece that lands.
A primary source, written by working contributors, with the receipts. Quote it. Cite it. The footnotes are real.

I have been a touring DJ for eleven years. The Underground Index is the only newsletter I open on the day it lands.

Three of our last six signings came from a Pumper label dossier. It pays for itself every quarter, except it is also free.

The notes are the thing. Anyone can list fifty tracks. These are fifty tracks plus the reason a real DJ played each one.

Reasonable questions, plain answers.
Is it actually free?
Yes. Four issues a year, free, forever. No upsell, no trial, no premium tier. The list itself is the product.
How often will you contact me?
Once a quarter, the day the issue drops. That is it. No drip sequence, no abandoned cart messages, no offer to upgrade.
Who curates it?
A rotating panel of forty working DJs and label heads. Every contributor plays at least one paying gig a month. The masthead changes each issue.
Will my contact details be sold or shared?
No. We never sell, share, or rent the list. Unsubscribe is one click, in every message, no questions asked.
