What Is 1001Tracklists and What Can You Find on the Site?

Updated

1001Tracklists is a DJ tracklist and playlist database. It catalogs mixes, club sets, and festival livesets, then breaks each one down into the individual tracks played. If you have ever heard a set and wanted to know the name of one track in it, this is the type of site built for that question. It is useful for listeners chasing IDs, for DJs researching what others play, and for anyone browsing by artist, track, label, or genre.

What the site actually contains

The core unit is the tracklist: a single set or mix, listed with its tracks in play order. Around that, the site organizes content into several browsable dimensions:

  • Tracklists — full sets from radio shows, podcasts, club nights, and festivals.
  • Artists — DJs and producers, with their associated sets.
  • Tracks — individual songs, which can be traced back to the sets that played them.
  • Sources — the shows, channels, or events a set came from.
  • Labels — record labels tied to the tracks.
  • Stories — editorial and interview content, such as artist features and release coverage.
  • Charts — rankings and stats, including most-viewed tracklists over selectable time windows.

The homepage alone shows the range: trance radio episodes, house and tech house shows, BBC Radio 1 Dance, NTS Radio sets, and festival mainstage recordings all sit side by side.

Types of sets you can browse

The database covers more than one kind of performance. From the listings, you can expect:

Type Example from the site
Radio shows / podcasts Aly & Fila – Future Sound Of Egypt 981; Don Diablo & Decker – Hexagon Radio 608
Club / vinyl sets Armin van Buuren – Vinyl Set, A State Of Trance [UNVRS] Ibiza
Festival livesets Alesso @ Mainstage, Ultra Music Festival Japan; The Chainsmokers @ Prehistoric Stage, Lost Lands Festival

Each entry typically shows the track count, duration, and genre tags, so you can judge whether a set matches your taste before opening it.

How browsing and discovery work

You can approach the site from several directions depending on what you already know:

  • If you know the set — search or browse to it and read the ordered tracklist.
  • If you know the track — look it up and see which sets included it.
  • If you know the artist — open their page to find their sets and appearances.
  • If you just want something current — use the charts and "most viewed" filters, which can be narrowed by time period (24 hours, 7 days, 4 weeks, 3 months, and so on).

Genre tags such as Progressive House, Trance, Techno, House, Tech House, Electronica, and Hip Hop / R&B / Funk let you filter by style rather than by name.

Practical notes

  • Search needs a minimum of 5 characters, so short or partial queries will not return results.
  • JavaScript is required for full functionality, so a script-blocked browser will limit what you can use.
  • The site describes itself as offering free mixes, and the tracklist pages are publicly viewable. The available material does not state any paid tier, account requirement, or pricing, so treat access terms as unconfirmed beyond what you can see directly.
  • Community contribution is part of the model: tracklists are added and maintained by users, which is why coverage is broad but not guaranteed to be complete or perfectly accurate for every set.

If your goal is identifying tracks from a set, checking what a specific DJ has been playing, or browsing recent festival and radio tracklists by genre, 1001Tracklists is built directly for that. Start with a search of at least five characters, or open the charts if you would rather browse than search.
