Beatport is the global home for electronic music, house, techno, trance, drum & bass, dubstep, hardstyle, EDM and every related genre. WBBT delivers directly to Beatport's full catalogue including Beatport Pro (the DJ-focused subscription service) with proper genre tagging, BPM detection, key labelling and chart eligibility.
What Beatport distribution unlocks
Direct delivery to Beatport.com (consumer downloads + streaming) and Beatport Pro (DJ subscription with WAV stems and DJ-friendly playlists). Genre-specific charts: Top 100 Tech House, Top 100 Techno, Top 100 Drum & Bass and 30+ other genre charts that DJs and labels actually watch. Proper BPM auto-detection and Camelot key labelling so your tracks show up in DJ search filters.
Why Beatport matters for electronic artists
Beatport is the platform that defines what's hot in electronic music. A Beatport top-10 chart in Tech House, Drum & Bass or Techno often catches the ear of major labels (Anjunabeats, Hospital Records, Drumcode, Defected) and gets your name in front of DJs who play on radio shows like BBC Radio 1, Above & Beyond's Group Therapy, Boris Brejcha's residencies and Don Diablo's Hexagon Radio.
Beatport Pro stem delivery
Beatport Pro (formerly Beatport LINK) is the subscription service DJs use in software like rekordbox, Serato, Pioneer DJ and Traktor. Subscribers stream directly into their DJ software, meaning if your track is on Beatport Pro, it becomes searchable and playable inside every modern DJ rig globally. WBBT delivers WAV stems where available so DJs can use the full Beatport Pro feature set.
Genre tagging & chart eligibility
Beatport's chart system is genre-strict. Submitting Tech House to the wrong sub-genre will get your release rejected from charts. Through WBBT we tag releases with Beatport's official genre taxonomy: Afro House, Bass House, Big Room, Breaks/Breakbeat, Dance/Pop, Deep House, DJ Tools, Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Electro House, Funky House, Future House, Hard Dance, Hard Techno, Hardcore, House, Indie Dance, Jackin House, Mainstage, Melodic House & Techno, Minimal/Deep Tech, Nu Disco/Disco, Organic House/Downtempo, Progressive House, Psy-Trance, Tech House, Techno (Peak Time/Driving), Techno (Raw/Deep/Hypnotic), Trance and UK Garage/Bassline.
Beatport editorial pitch
Pro and Label tier customers can submit pre-release tracks for Beatport editorial features, Hype Picks, Editorial Charts, New Releases We Love, Genre Spotlight playlists and the all-important Beatport homepage features. Pitches go through our partnership routing 14+ days before release with track BPM, key, genre, mood and reference DJs.
Beatport release week strategy
Beatport gives every electronic music release a 2-week 'exclusive' window where it's only available on Beatport before going to Spotify and other DSPs. This drives DJ interest and chart climb. WBBT supports this exclusive-then-wide rollout, release on Beatport day-one, then ship to all major DSPs 2 weeks later. Let DJs hear it first, then unleash to streaming.
Format requirements
Beatport mandates WAV at 24-bit / 44.1kHz minimum (48kHz preferred). Cover artwork 3000×3000px square. Track length minimum 30 seconds (no maximum). DJ Tools, Acapellas and Drum Loops have separate sub-categories. Stems for Beatport Pro should be split into 4 channels (drums, bass, melodic, vocals).
