To reward all Beatport's users, they have selected four of the hottest tracks from each of the past four years and made them available for free download.
"The first four years have been amazing." said Jonas Tempel, Beatport's CEO. "The support we have received from the labels, the DJs, the fans, and the industry has humbled our entire team and gives us the motivation to continuously improve. 2008 is going to be our best year yet."
The first version of Beatport launched in January 2004 with 79 record labels on board. By mid 2004, Beatport started to gain recognition collaborating with some of the top DJs and technology companies in the business such as Native Instruments in Berlin and world-renowned dance artists, Bad Boy Bill, John Acquaviva and Richie Hawtin.
With the re-vision of the site January 2005, the momentum of Beatport's achievements picked up speed. Beatport 2.0 soon became the recognized global leader in Independent dance music, building a catalog over 100,000 tracks supplied by 2,700 signed labels.
Today, Beatport 3.0 displays various improvements to the site including a more robust search engine.
Happy Birthday!
4 Years Strong
