Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sell my music on Beatport?

To deliver your music to Beatport you will need to come through a label, or a distributor for independent artists. Choose one that most suits your needs from our providers page.

What is LabelRadar and how can it help me get signed?

LabelRadar is a demo submission platform that connects music creators with labels. Join LabelRadar for free, upload your unsigned track, browse our list of record labels, and find the perfect fit for your music. By submitting your demo directly to their inbox, you increase your chances of getting genuine feedback and getting your music signed. Plus, you can find new opportunities like remix competitions from a wide range of labels and artists (even Madonna!).

How can I participate in remix competitions through Beatport?

Beatport hosts a range of remix competitions, from our flagship Global Remix Challenges to special collaborations with artists and labels. Anyone can enter, simply check out the open competitions, and read the competition details. Once you’re finished creating, head back to LabelRadar to submit your remix. Then, you’ll be notified when Beatport selects the winner(s).

What kind of editorial opportunities are available for artists?

Beatportal, our editorial hub, tells the stories behind the music with longer-form features, scene news, interviews, track breakdowns, and more. The best way to pitch for features is by working with your label/distributor 3-4 weeks in advance of upcoming releases, as they will have a dedicated label manager at Beatport with whom they can discuss feature options. If you don’t have a distributor, you can choose one that most suits your needs from our providers page.

What is the Beatport Next program and how can I get involved?

Beatport Next is a year-long artist development program that champions rising artist talent from around the world. Selected artists receive prominent placement in the Beatport store, playlist, and editorial support, and promotion through our social channels, live streams, and more. Each new class is unveiled at the start of the year. To find out about the submission process and get involved, head here.
