There’s no hard-and-fast definition of a “DJ tool”. To the DJ, all records, in some sense, are simply implements for getting the job done. But there’s a category of tracks that are more functional than others, from sound effects to drum sequences to full-length cuts that make a virtue of their simplicity.

They’re usually meant to be layered and looped, rather than played on their own, and that’s never been easier than it is now, thanks to the advanced functionality of today’s digital DJ technology.

We’ve put together 13 charts—that’s 130 tracks—drawing from some of the coolest tools around, from labels like Dubfire’s SCI+TEC Digital Audio, Luciano’s Cadenza Split Composition, Speedy J’s Electric Deluxe, and Butane and Someone Else’sLittle Helpers. There’s another shed’s worth of implements from an assortment of producers, including Kenny Dope, Carlo Lio, Dinky, Bedrock, John Daly, and dozens more.

Here, you’ll find the tools you need to hammer the crowd into submission, screw with their brains, or drill deep into their souls. Remember: if you build it, they will come.
