Beatport, the global leader in music for DJs, producers, and their fans, is excited to announce the launch of a unique, human-curated playlist dedicated exclusively to music created by independent electronic music artists. Partnering with independent artist distribution services such as TuneCore, DistroKid, and Music Hub, the new Best New Independent Artists playlist will spotlight exceptional works from independent artists each week, providing a prominent platform for their music to be discovered by a global audience of DJs.
“By creating a dedicated space for independent electronic music artists, Beatport is not only facilitating discovery but also ensuring that standout self-produced artists receive the recognition and compensation they deserve from the outset,” said Raphael Pujol, Beatport’s Vice President of Global Curation.
In an industry often dominated by major labels and established acts, Beatport understands the importance of nurturing and promoting emerging talent. With meticulous curation by Beatport’s internal team, the Best New Independent Artists playlist will be the first of its kind to showcase independent artists, enabling producers worldwide to connect with new audiences. Independent electronic music artists are encouraged to submit their music via TuneCore, DistroKid, or Music Hub for a chance to be featured in the playlist and gain access to Beatport’s DJ community. The Best New Independent Artists playlist is updated weekly.
“We launched our distribution partnership with Beatport last year, enabling TuneCore’s electronic music artists to connect directly with DJs incorporating their music into live sets and mixes,” said Andreea Gleeson, CEO of TuneCore. “Beatport has become an indispensable platform for music discovery for our rising artists, with 40 tracks placing in Beatport’s Top 100 chart since launch. With the Best New Independent Artists playlist, Beatport continues to uplift indie electronic music artists by amplifying their music and creating more opportunities for audience growth.”
