Beatport, the global leader in music for DJs, producers, and their fans, announces the launch of a first-in-the-market human-curated playlist dedicated exclusively to music created by independent electronic music artists. In collaboration with Beatport’s current independent artist distribution partners TuneCore, DistroKid, and MusicHub, the dedicated Best New Independent Artists playlist will amplify the standout creations of independent artists each week, providing a featured platform for their music to be discovered by a global audience of DJs.

“By curating a dedicated space for independent electronic music artists, Beatport is not only providing a platform for discovery but also ensuring that standout self-produced artists receive the recognition and compensation they deserve from the get-go,” said Raphael Pujol, Beatport’s Vice President of Global Curation. “While other platforms may struggle with the distribution of small payments to artists with fewer streams, our focus remains firmly on furthering the voices of independent creators and fostering a more equitable ecosystem for electronic music.”

In a landscape often dominated by major labels and established acts, Beatport recognizes the importance of nurturing and promoting burgeoning talent. With a meticulous curation process led by Beatport’s internal curation team, the Best New Independent Artists playlist will be the first of its kind to showcase independent artists and enable producers around the world to connect with new audiences. Independent electronic music artists are encouraged to submit their music via TuneCore, DistroKid, or Music Hub to be considered for inclusion in the playlist, and gain access to the Beatport DJ community. The Best New Independent Artists playlist is updated weekly.

“We launched our distribution partnership with Beatport last year which has since enabled TuneCore’s electronic music artists to unlock the direct pipeline between electronic music creators and the DJs placing 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 and since launch 40 tracks have placed in Beatport’s Top 100 chart. Now with the Best New Independent Artists playlist, Beatport continues to recognize and uplift indie electronic music artists that are on the rise by amplifying their music and creating even more opportunities to springboard their audience development to the next level.”
