How to Get Your Music
on Beatsource
Reach working DJs through Beatport's dedicated DJ-culture sister store
Beatsource operates alongside Beatport as part of the same family, but with its own distinct focus on hip-hop, open-format, and mobile/wedding DJ culture rather than club-focused electronic genres. For artists in hip-hop, R&B, or crossover genres that working DJs actually spin, Beatsource is a more targeted store than Beatport's electronic-first catalog.

Tips to Succeed on Beatsource
If your genre is hip-hop, R&B, pop, or another format that open-format and mobile DJs commonly play, Beatsource is a more precise fit than Beatport's electronic-leaning catalog.
Deliver DJ-friendly versions (clean/explicit pairs, extended intros/outros) since Beatsource's buyers are working DJs who need mix-ready files, similar in spirit to Beatport's audience.
Ensure high-quality WAV or AIFF delivery, since DJs buying from Beatsource expect lossless audio for live performance use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Beatsource different from Beatport?
Both are DJ-focused download stores from the same family, but Beatsource concentrates on hip-hop, R&B, and open-format genres commonly played by mobile and wedding DJs, while Beatport focuses on club-oriented electronic genres.
Do I need clean and explicit versions for Beatsource?
It's strongly recommended — open-format and mobile DJs frequently need clean versions for certain events, so delivering both versions increases the usefulness of your catalog to Beatsource's DJ buyers.
Is Beatsource relevant if my music isn't hip-hop?
It's included in every DistroVibe release at no extra cost. The strongest fit is hip-hop, R&B, and pop/crossover genres that open-format DJs commonly mix, but there's no downside to being available there regardless of genre.
