Beatport is an online music store and streaming service built specifically for DJs, with a focus on electronic dance music. Founded in 2004 in Denver, Colorado, the platform sells tracks as DRM-free MP3 downloads with optional lossless AIFF and WAV upgrades, and it has become a primary distribution channel for house, techno, trance, drum & bass, dubstep, and adjacent electronic genres. The company operates offices in Denver, Los Angeles, and Berlin, and is owned by LiveStyle.
Beyond the download store, Beatport offers a subscription streaming tier and Beatport LINK, which integrates its catalog directly into DJ software such as Serato DJ Pro, rekordbox, Traktor, Denon DJ Engine, and Virtual DJ for in-app track preparation and performance. The service also publishes genre-specific sales charts that labels and artists treat as a benchmark for release performance, and runs editorial outlets like Beatportal alongside livestream programming on Twitch and YouTube.
The platform supports tens of thousands of independent and major electronic labels along with hundreds of thousands of artists, making it a common point of discovery for producers and a standard tool in the working DJ's digital crate alongside hardware controllers and DJ software.
