Beatport Now Lets Anyone Upload to Streaming Service
Beatport, an online music store specialising in Electronic music, has made a bold move by introducing a User Generated Content streaming platform reminiscent of SoundCloud.
The service was announced by Beatport in the past 24 hours and much like SoundCloud will allow anyone to create an account and upload their original tracks for streaming on the service.
Artists will receive revenue from the streams on all of their tracks and can monitor their popularity through a play-count and “heart-count” which measures how many people have liked a track.
One of the unique features on Beatport’s streaming service has been the track information section where it shows you the BPM (Beats Per Minute) and the Key of the track you’re listening to though it is yet to be seen whether that will be implemented for user-generated content.
It is very early days for the new service, being made available to everyone, so only time will tell whether this could be the new home for independent EDM or whether it will go unnoticed.

When will Beatport be available for Routenote, I really want to distribute with you, I’m dedicated to electronic music but unfortunately you do not have Beatport, it would be great if you could add it to your platform to be able to distribute.

Thanks for your interest in distributing your music to Beatport!
We’re currently distributing limited content to this store on an invite-only scheme, but we will be sure to keep all RouteNote users updated if this is opened up on a wider scale.
Hi LucyLH !
I’m actually distributing my track through Routenote with Outertone label. My previous is on beatport and is working really well. Is it possible to apply for a Beatport distribution with my lastest Routenote release ?
Hey!
Please reach out to support@routenote.com with your UPC and we will look into this for you.
I see this is an old post, so can only assume this feature didn’t last long? I see no way of doing this. Can RouteNote get my releases on Beatport?
