Distribute your
catalog to Beatport

Yes. limbo/ holds a direct contract with Beatport and delivers your catalog through a DDEX-native pipeline across all Beatport surfaces. There is no re-aggregation layer between your label and the platform.

All of them: the Beatport download store, Beatport Streaming, Beatport DJ (in-app streaming for DJ software), and Beatsource (the open-format sister platform). One delivery covers the full Beatport ecosystem.

You deliver once through limbo/, by API or dashboard, and limbo/ runs the Beatport supply chain: DDEX ERN packaging, genre and subgenre metadata Beatport charts depend on, scheduled release dates, and per-territory controls. Apply through the partner form to scope it for your catalog.

Beatport is curated to electronic and dance genres, so its store and streaming focus on house, techno, drum & bass and the wider electronic spectrum. limbo/ delivers your eligible electronic releases with correct genre metadata; open-format catalog can reach DJs through Beatsource.

Direct. limbo/ delivers to Beatport on its own contract, not through another aggregator. That means cleaner delivery, faster issue resolution, and royalty data that stays inside limbo/ and is never shared with major labels.

Beatport is a curated platform: catalog reaches it through approved labels and distributors, not through open self-serve upload. limbo/ holds a direct contract with Beatport, so your releases travel from limbo/ to the platform with no intermediate aggregator in the chain.

On modern infrastructure the delivery itself is nearly immediate. At limbo/, a release that passes quality control (metadata, audio, artwork) is guaranteed delivered in under 24 hours. If QC flags something you need to fix, the realistic window extends to 48 hours. When the release actually goes live is then governed by the release date you scheduled, not by the pipeline.

Yes. Catalog migration reuses your existing UPCs and ISRCs, so release identifiers and store history carry over instead of being reset. Migration is scoped against your real catalog on the first call.

Release Only marks a track so it cannot be bought individually: it is available only as part of the complete release. Labels use it to keep an EP or album intact and to move buyers to the full pack instead of a single track. limbo/ sets the flag per track as part of the delivery.

Yes. limbo/ can schedule your release on Beatport ahead of the other stores and open a pre-order before the release date, which is how labels build day-one chart position. The length of the exclusive window is a commercial decision taken per release, and we scope it with you.

Both reach Beatport, and for one artist uploading one track that can be enough. What a self-serve DIY service is not built for is running a label: a catalog that grows, per-release commercial controls like Release Only and an exclusive window, chart-genre curation, and a named human when a delivery breaks. Two questions worth asking any distributor: do you hold the Beatport agreement yourselves, and which label controls do you actually expose?

Yes. Beatport is one destination in the limbo/Distribution block. The same delivery reaches Spotify, Apple Music, Qobuz and every other connected DSP, with DDEX ERN 4.3 / 3.8.2 selected per platform.
