Beatport FAQ

Can I release on Beatport without a label?

Yes. Without label registration your releases go out under Octiive. Register your own label for $49 if you want your label name on Beatport.

Why was my release not accepted by Beatport?

Usually because the genre isn't electronic or DJ music, or the audio or artwork doesn't meet store standards. Email support and we'll check.

Is Beatport really free with Octiive?

Yes. It's included on every plan, with no per-store or add-on fee.

Do I keep the rights to my music?

Distributing with Octiive doesn't change who owns your music. You give us permission to deliver it and collect your royalties, and that's it.

Can I move from another distributor without losing my streams?

Yes. Re-upload with the same audio, artwork, ISRC and UPC codes and original release date. Once the Octiive version is live, ask your old distributor to take theirs down.
