To get your music on Traxsource, distribute through Unchained Music. Releases typically go live within 24 hours to 7 days.
Traxsource is the curated download store for house music and its family of genres, founded by producers in 2004 and trusted by working DJs who buy full quality files to play out. Traxsource delivery is available on Unchained Music Partner accounts.
Traxsource was built in 2004 by house producers as a store where DJs buy music, and it has stayed true to that: deep house, soulful house, afro house, tech house, garage and techno, sold as MP3 and WAV downloads to a professional audience that pays for what it plays. A download store for DJs pays real money per sale, and a chart position on Traxsource carries weight in the scene that a playlist add does not. The store is deliberately curated. There are no direct artist uploads, releases arrive through approved distributors under registered labels, and the editorial team favors consistent artists and trusted imprints, which keeps the catalog quality high and is exactly why DJs shop there. At Unchained Music, Traxsource delivery is available on Partner accounts, where releases are set up to meet the store's label and genre requirements.

Five questions, answered for this platform specifically.
Traxsource does not accept direct artist uploads; releases arrive through approved distributors under registered labels. At Unchained Music, Traxsource delivery is available on Partner accounts, where your release is delivered under a label setup that meets the store's requirements.
House is the heart of it. The store focuses on deep house, soulful and afro house, tech house, garage, techno and related club genres, and its curation enforces that focus. If your music lives in those genres, Traxsource is one of the most valuable stores you can be in; if it does not, it is the wrong destination.
Traxsource curates at the label and release level. Distributors must be approved, labels are registered with the store, and the editorial team reviews what goes live, prioritizing artists and imprints with a consistent track record. A well presented release on a credible label clears curation far more easily than a one off upload would.
Traxsource sells downloads, so you earn per sale rather than per stream, and a single paid download is worth many streams. The buyers are DJs purchasing full quality MP3 and WAV files to perform with, which is why download stores remain a meaningful income line for club music even in the streaming era.
Charts are driven by sales inside the store, and features are editorial. Solid release planning helps both: a proper pre order window, DJ support that converts into store sales in release week, and a consistent release schedule on your label. Traxsource's audience rewards artists who show up repeatedly with quality.
