(MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION) Thank you for inquiring about Starfleet Music Pool & a possible membership. My name is Ronnie Matthews. I am the owner & director of Starfleet Music Pool. We have been in existence since 1990. I personally have worked for over 34 years in this business to acquire the level of respect and acceptance that we enjoy within the music industry. This is one of the best opportunities that you will get to better yourself as a DJ. That is if you really want to be a professional DJ! This is also an excellent way to break further into the music industry. You never know who you will meet & speak with once you’re in! We service everything from Hip Hop, Urban, Reggae, Crossover, Reggaeton all the way up to Euro Dance music on Vinyl, CD, and MP3 formats. Members wanting FULL Membership must be located in the USA & or Canada, due to the shipping cost. However, if you are outside of that area & want to pay the shipping cost, we'll allow you to be serviced. Digital Members must be on Planet Earth to be able to be serviced due to Interstellar Digital laws. (Hey, just kidding, we'll service you anywhere in our solar system.) Bottom line, we service working DJ’s throughout the world now. Also, DJs in the Armed Forces stationed around the world, too. We offer 2 types of memberships, Full or Digital only. 1. Full membership - will give those members access to the maximum amount of music being serviced us on all formats, vinyl, CD & digital MP3.
2. Digital membership - will give those members access to the digital MP3s that we're serviced, ONLY!
We work Hip Hop, Reggae, Urban, Crossover, Dance (Dance music means a wide variety of music ranging from 120 bpm to 180 bpm, Club, House, Latin Dance, Euro Dance, etc..), Latin, Reggaeton, etc....

*Notice that CHECKS were not listed as an accepted method of payment* Out of Town Full Membership DJ’s: With your startup fee you should include an average of a $50 shipping credit, but to be sure contact me & we'll go over the details. That will help cover the costs of your initial shipments, which will be LARGE. From there we’ll determine what your average monthly shipping cost will be. 4) PAPERWORK: Our “Paperwork” consists of a weekly play-lists and feedback for the music you've been serviced. Paperwork can either be sent in electronically as an attachment to an E-mail, over the fax machine, or in physical form (locals only please). *Play-Lists: are required by ALL members EVERY week. They are due by Wednesday at 12 midnight. This is a very, very important part of our program. *Feedback: is due in a timely manner, the record labels count on this information to plan their promotion campaigns. 5) MEETINGS & OR CONFERENCE CALLS: Starfleet Music Pool has annual pool meetings where we'd like for you to attend, if at all possible. We also have regular conference calls, which we'd like for all of our members to be on. Both of these settings are great opportunities to cover important information and updates so that we can keep the Fleet flying together & to network and talk to some of the best in the in industry.
6) INFORMATION: Up-to-date information is expected from our members. Emails, Phone #’s, Addresses, and most importantly any changes in where you are spinning (i.e. clubs, radio stations, etc.). Any of you who aren’t up to date with technology really are missing out. We pass a lot of information back and forth through emails so that is important to have and use on a regular basis. With record company’s no longer servicing near as many pools, we are able to receive even more resources through our mp3’s. Keep that in mind. *IF said paperwork is late you may be fined, and possibly even dropped from the record pool membership. We also report to the National Record Pool Blacklist (NRPB) and don’t support freeloading DJ’s. Starfleet Music Pool and other Professional Record Pools are an important promotional part of the Music Industry. Please don’t waste our time. If you have any questions or comments about what is expected of you as a member or questions regarding anything else please don’t hesitate to contact me.
