April 26, 2023 – TuneCore, a leading development partner for self-releasing artists owned by Believe, one of the world’s leading digital music companies, announced a new partnership with Beatport, the global leader in music for DJs, producers, and their fans. This partnership will enable TuneCore artists to distribute their music to Beatport, the world’s largest electronic music platform for DJs, serving both downloads and streaming through a web store, mobile app, DJ Web App, and integrations directly into DJ software and hardware.
Through this new partnership, TuneCore artists will be able to get their music in front of Beatport’s robust user base of electronic music fans, tastemakers, and professional DJs, as well as the platform’s in-house curation team. Additionally, TuneCore artists sending music to Beatport will also have access to the most comprehensive collection of genre tags among independent distributors, with the company now supporting 33 different electronic music genres and subgenres including House, Trance, UK Garage / Bassline, and more.
To take advantage of this new partnership, artists utilizing any of TuneCore’s UNLIMITED distribution plans will be able to send their music to the Beatport platform for an add-on fee of $7.99 a month (billed annually). TuneCore CEO, Andreea Gleeson, commented that “Electronic music is a top genre among TuneCore artists. Through this new partnership with Beatport, TuneCore is excited to offer comprehensive distribution options for our electronic artists around the world, and give them access to a direct pipeline from their recording studio to the vibrant world of clubs, festivals and radio, as well as the potential for additional promotional opportunities through Beatport’s DJ Charts and renowned editorial features.”
