Beatport was launched to solve a problem. With the release of so much exciting new DJ technology specifically aimed at the dance market, there was no place for the DJ to find the best dance tracks from the best labels. What was needed was a DJ friendly, digital record store. A store where you can easily, quickly, cheaply and legally buy music…enter Beatport. Enter a digital network created by a group of likeminded DJ’s, artists, promoters and marketers to close the gap and accelerate the dance market into an entirely new realm. In late 2002, the design of Beatport began to bring the dance music industry into a new era of promotion and distribution. Beatport provides everyone from the pro to the bedroom DJ access to the music they need in the format they want. Dance music that was previously only released on vinyl will now be made available to the consumer in mp3, mp4 and Wav file formats on a pay-per-download basis. And at the simple click of a button. Like never before, DJs of all caliber can log on, download and play in a matter of minutes. Beatport is based out of Denver, Colorado, sharing an office as well as brainpower with its parent company, Factory Design Labs, Inc., an award- winning sports and entertainment advertising and design agency, and Outlook Music Co., a boutique record label specializing in incubating up-and-coming-bands. By managing its A&R, engineering, sales and marketing in-house, Beatport offers key customer service as the bulk of the operating team is in constant communication, sharing ideas, recruiting top tracks, problem solving, and taking great care of our labels, artists and customers. “This site was designed by DJs who know just how they need the newest music from the best labels. Fast, cheap, in digital format and of flawless quality,” said Jonas Tempel, DJ, producer and president of Beatport’s parent company, Factory Design Labs, Inc., an award winning marketing and design agency. “Beatport is here to push the dance music industry forward.”	RELATED LINKS BeatPort.com
