Their are alot good MP3 download stores online that I could recommmend for downloading tracks. A a couple of the most popular one's i would recommend are djdownload.com, Juno.com & beatport.com. You can download tunes for mixing at these sites. In regards to you selling your mixes, unless your a well known DJ and have a large following, it's going to be extreamly hard for you to make money from mixes.

Try reading some reputable dance music magazines & online clubbing resources. A few id recommend
M8 Magazine
DJ Mag
Notion
Our House
Mixmag
ATM
Bigshotmag
Psymag
Knowledge Mag
IDJ
Resident Adviser
URB
XlR8R
These are excellent dance music resources for locating some quality track reviews & latest releases.
Also, try and listen to some good online dance music radio stations that play the type of music you like. I suggest reputable online radio stations, those that have dj's who dj out on the club scene. U can find a good selction of repturble online dance music stations here HERE.

djdownload.com has a MP3 download chart, usfull if your looking to find out tracks are downloaded the most for that month.
Most dance music download stores have "Most Popular" section. |
