The music tech masterminds over at Beatport debuted a new technology today designed to sell mixtapes from the world’s leading DJs, called “Beatport Mixes.” Launched as a limited public beta, discover hundreds of mixtapes in in DRM-free, high-definition files.
The mixtapes come from broad range of world-class DJs, made exclusively for Beatport users. Diplo’s “Enter The Beat Portal” mix includes 24 tracks and clocks in at 59 minutes in length. The download begins with a highlight of the second wave of the moombahton movement, consisting of “Beat Down” feat. Iggy Azalea by Steve Aoki & Angger Dimas; “Turn off the Lights” by Paper Diamond; and “Uncrushable” by Bro Safari. It ends with a trifecta of popular bangers the esteemed Diplo has played to crowds worldwide.
“I was always a DJ before I was making original tracks,” said Diplo. “The DJ is the backbone of dance music. DJs [have] been the direct distributor, and mixtapes are the way I can bring fresh sounds to people. Real DJs don’t wait for them to blow up. Beatport Mixes gives me an audience of kids that LOVE dance music from all genres. I now have the ability to share that vision in its purest form with all my fans.”
