PickTrack vs Juno Download for DJs
By the PickTrack team · Updated · 3 min read
Juno Download is a long-running store for dance music. PickTrack does not sell files; it shows which new tracks people react to.
What Juno Download is
Juno Download is a UK-based online store selling dance and electronic music as MP3 and WAV downloads, with new-release lists and charts per genre. Its sister shop Juno Records sells vinyl.
It is a classic place for DJs to buy files across many dance genres.
What PickTrack is
A DJ music discovery platform: monthly Top 100 and Hot 100 charts in 16 genres, ranked by real listener engagement on SoundCloud (likes and reposts weighed against plays), with no label deals or paid placement. The point is to show which new tracks people actually respond to, so a DJ can find them in minutes instead of digging for hours.
BPM and Camelot key on nearly every track. Does not sell files. Every track links to SoundCloud, and 1,600+ chart tracks link to the artist's own free download (3 a month on the free plan, unlimited with Pro, web). Top 3 of every chart free; Pro $7.99/month or $79/year on the web, first month $4.99.
