With numerous crossover hits from artists such as Sander van Doorn, Afrojack, Eric Prydz, Martin Solveig and Inna, Spinnin' Records is currently recognized as the leading dance label in the world serving both the commercial and underground market. Besides having a huge share in air play on Dutch radio stations, Spinnin Records hosts 26 sublabels including Sander van Doorn's Doorn Records and Afrojack's Wall Recordings. Over the past few years, Spinnin' Records and its sublabels became more and more dominant and acquired big shares in the charts on digital music stores including those on Beatport. In the Netherlands, Spinnin Records is responsible for the majority of dance music broadcasted on both radio and TV. Some of the most important releases include Robin S's 'Show Me Love 2008' which topped the Dutch charts at the #1 position for two weeks, Yolanda Be Cool vs D-Cup's 'We No Speak Americano' that topped that same chart in 2010 for seven weeks, Duck Sauce's 'Barbra Streisand', Martin Solveig's 'Hello' and the list goes on..
Acquired by Warner Music Group in September 2017 for over $100 million.

- Talk a little about your first official Dim Mak release, Stick Figure Carousel. Dan Sena, he was their guitarist, is a really old friend of mine. I’ve known Dan since high school. He actually helped record a demo for Good Hue—he actually played in Good Hue at one point; but he was in all these successful hardcore bands. Always playing shows.
Dim Mak is a label run by Los Angeles DJ Steve Aoki. The label releases music in many different styles ranging from punk to garage rock to disco to new wave and beyond.
What is the Talent Pool?
The Talent Pool is a platform invented by Spinnin' Records to solve the classic problem of sending your demo to a record label and ending in the huge pile of demos without any feedback. With 150+ demos sent to us on a daily basis, our A&R's (the guys that sign new artists and tracks) found that it was impossible to listen to all of them and give feedback on the tracks that they like. So we thought about ways to solve this problem, since it is unfair to artists who put their blood, sweat & tears in their production. Plus, we could just miss out on the next super talent. That's when the idea of the Talent Pool was born. By using the Talent Pool it is possible to give yourself a bit of a head start by having your social network vote on your track and get ranked up the chart. Add to that the functionality of commenting on your fellow producers' tracks and the possibilities to get yourself noticed on the Talent Pool are evident.
Does the #1 automatically get a record deal?
No. The Talent Pool is NOT a contest. Remember: People with the biggest online following are NOT necessarily the best producers. The Talent Pool is an ever-evolving chart that enables you to influence your presence in the otherwise impregnable pile of demos. We listen to way beyond the top 100 and the decision to sign anything is ALWAYS based on the quality of the track.
Do you listen to the demos daily?
Yes. We listen to the demos on a daily basis and leave A&R feedback as much as possible!
How often can I upload a track?
You can upload one track once a week.
Do you automatically sign me and my track once I submit my track?
No. We have an option of 3 months in which we can decide if we want to release it or not. After that you are free to do with your track what you want and aren't bound to anything.
The terms & conditions say you have an option on managing me and my publishing. Why?
Spinnin' is not just a record label that pushes out music. We build careers. Big careers start with development of great musical talent to superstar DJ’s which we put a enormous amount of effort in. We want mutual commitment that enables us to do just that. However, that doens't mean you can't participate if you already have management in place. Talent comes in all shapes and sizes and options are always negotiatable.

What kind of release can I get?
It depends on the quality of the track. Besides Spinnin' Records, we have a handful of sub-labels, all representing a different genre and feel. So if a track meets the Spinnin' Records standards, we'll sign you on Spinnin' Records. If your tracks meets a standard we feel suits another label, a release on a Spinnin' sub-label is also possible. Besides that we feature one Track of the Week, not only in our platform but also in our Spinnin' Sessions radio show and on our social media outlets.
Troubleshooting
Why can't I select my track to upload?
Check if your track is set to public on SoundCloud and that it has finished processing. Also make sure that the 'Enable app playback' option is enabled on the permissions tab.

Why is my track not visible in the charts?
The chart refreshes every 24 hours, so right after you’ve submitted your track you will not be visible in the chart yet. Our chart has a maximum rank of 999, you’ll see that as soon as you start collecting votes you’ll enter or rise up the chart pretty quickly!

Can I remove a track from the Talent Pool?
Yes, most of the time you can. Just go to your track page and click the button 'I want to delete my track'. Enter why you would like to remove the track and submit the form. Within 48 hours your request is being reviewed. Sometimes, we cannot remove a track due to the terms and conditions that apply to the Talent Pool. Either way, we'll always try to find a satisfactory solution for everyone.
