Beatport expands into digital distribution with Baseware™

by Beatport CEO, Matthew Adell

Since our launch in 2004, Beatport has been embraced by the global Electronic Dance Music community and has sold more than 77 million downloads and distributed upwards of $100 million back to independent labels and artists. I am incredibly proud of Beatport’s ongoing commitment to fostering independent and emerging artists, producers, and labels. 

 

In continuation of our mission to provide the greatest digital music resource in the world for DJs and electronic musicians, we are launching Baseware™, a new digital music distribution company focused on empowering emerging electronic music artists and labels to reach their fans and the global market.

 

Baseware™, first and foremost, is about breaking down the barriers to getting your music heard - and actually getting paid for it - through distribution to Beatport, iTunes, Spotify, Rdio, Stompy, mobile and tablet applications, and whatever comes next. Baseware™ expands the opportunities and simplifies the process of packaging, distributing, and selling music not only through the world’s #1 Electronic Dance Music retailer, but also through other mainstream music platforms.
