Or then to play on hardware decks, there’s you might use a librarian software (now almost certainly Rekordbox) to spit out your music onto a USB stick.īut notice the potential confusion between those steps, especially as syncing libraries is a major chore even for fairly experienced users.ĭownload stores – Bandcamp, Juno, and Beatport’s download side – all presume you buy music, then do the management of the files that gets it into your DJ software. You might then DJ in that same tool (Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, VirtualDJ). There’s cataloging your music, in a separate tool – generally Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, and so on, though plenty of people also use something like iTunes for management. There’s acquiring your music – promos, stores, illicit methods. Since the advent of digital music on computers, the digital DJ workflow has existed across some divided worlds. Background – about subscriptions, and different user stories But what’s missing, and which I still hope will be added, is more tools for humans to share playlists and allow direct interaction with artists and labels, rather than having an entire DJ tool be dominated by Beatport charts and genre selections. Since a lot of dance music gets easily lost on Spotify and Apple Music, and those tools don’t have DJ features, that’s a big deal. There’s some real potential there, as I think you’ll see, in that this removes obstacles to more people DJing with music.
What’s in it for artists and labels – theoretically, the potential for more DJs and more streaming revenue for your music when distributed to Beatport. It’s now released to all subscribers to Beatport’s LINK service, but will be “an entry-level stand-alone subscription tier within the LINK offering by mid-April.”
But you’ll probably use it to preview music and assemble playlists to DJ elsewhere.

You could actually run a DJ set off this – it even has MIDI input, controller support, and separate headphone outs, plus features like hot cues and looping. It does everything you’d expect a two-deck DJ tool to do, but in the browser. And we’ve got a first look at the interface – plus what it might mean for anyone making and releasing music (and what’s missing so far).īeatport DJ is a browser-based tool for Chrome and compatible browsers (Microsoft Edge, Opera). It is definitely where the company’s LINK subscription is going. Beatport DJ is a browser-based tool that combines finding music with mixing it right away.
