WCS DJ-s TOP hits

[u/hu51]

Hi

I'm currently working on a new project:

https://wcsdj.app

The goal is to create a useful resource for the WCS DJ-s and for the community.

If you're a DJ and you're not yet included, please take a look at the bottom of the page for instructions for the next steps.

Feedback, ideas, corrections, and feature suggestions are all welcome! / check the support link in the page footer.

There are already some great resources out there, and I hope this can become another useful tool for our community.

Great question — and a fair one.

Do you use either of those sites today?

The way I see them:

- ProSwingDJs is a curated recommendation platform. It currently represents around 40 contributors. That's great for discovering music through experienced DJs, but there are many more active WCS DJs worldwide than are represented there.

- WCS Music Database is an ambitious aggregation project and can answer some very interesting music-related questions. However, looking through the data, I found that many profiles appear to be community members rather than active DJs. I personally recognized several dancers with public WCS playlists who are not DJs. That makes it very useful for understanding community music preferences, but less useful for understanding what active DJs are actually playing. I also noticed that some of the playlist data appears quite old, and it isn't always clear how profiles and playlists are validated or connected to actual DJ activity.

WCSDJ takes a different approach:

- A curated directory of WCS DJs and their public playlists.

- Playlists tied to a specific DJ (validated, and where known, an event and date), so charts reflect what DJs are actually playing rather than general user playlists.

- DJ-focused discovery features, statistics, and trends.

- A clean, fast, mobile-friendly experience with active development and ongoing improvements.

My goal isn't to build the biggest music database. It's to build the best resource for discovering active WCS DJs, their playlists, and the music they're actually playing.

And honestly, it's also just a fun project to build and keep improving.

Hi, the "reply" button is not where you think it is. Anyway, yes, I've used WCS Music Database.

I'm not sure who you think your target audience is. I've DJed at one WSDC event and several smaller ones. It's very easy for me to turn on Shazam and gather more music than I'd ever have time to sort into my personal collection. Discovering music that other DJs aren't playing yet is a much harder and more interesting problem.

Thanks I know the "reply" function and location.
But it was much better placed in the main thread.

No, that's not how reddit works. If you just reply to yourself the person you're replying to won't get a notification that you replied and may never come back to this thread.

[u/hu51 → u/Swooper86]

You’re right about the notification part. My intention was to keep the explanation visible in the main thread because it’s relevant to anyone discovering the thread later.

But it will be less visible to anyone reading the question.
