Beatport is leveling up its global DJ ecosystem with the announcement that Beatsource will officially be integrated into Beatport, bringing both platforms together into a single premium destination built for discovery, curation, and performance.
Starting March 2026, Beatsource subscribers will begin transitioning to Beatport through a guided migration process rolling out over the coming months. Once complete, DJs will access their accounts entirely through Beatport, combining Beatsource’s expertly curated open-format catalog with Beatport’s deep electronic music library under one roof.
The result: one streamlined platform connecting hip-hop, pop, Latin, rock, and open-format essentials alongside the world’s largest electronic music ecosystem, designed to support DJs everywhere from crate digging to peak-time performance.
“We’re raising the bar for what a premium DJ service should be,” said Beatport CEO Robb McDaniels, highlighting the goal of delivering a unified experience that pairs trusted curation with unmatched musical depth.
What this means for Beatsource users:
The transition is designed to be seamless, with key account features moving directly into Beatport, including:
Same login credentials
Playlists Active streaming plans
Purchase history (transferred as playlists)
Existing subscriptions will also carry over:
Beatsource ($12.99/month) → Beatport Advanced
– Price honored for three months after transfer, then renews at $15.99/month
Beatsource Pro+ ($34.99/month) → Beatport Professional+
– Monthly pricing remains unchanged
When will this migration be taking place?
On Tuesday, March 3, Beatsource will officially begin its migration process. The migration is being rolled out in phases. The best way to check your eligibility is to log in to your account at Beatsource.com. If you aren’t eligible yet, don’t worry, we are moving quickly. Keep an eye on your inbox for a personal invitation or check back periodically for updates.
We’ll be coming out with a step-by-step guide to help you through the process of transferring over your existing Beatsource library and playlists, so watch this space.
After migration, access to Beatsource as a standalone platform will sunset, with all services continuing through Beatport.
The integration marks a major evolution for The Beatport Group, bringing its DJ communities closer together and creating a single, future-focused platform built to power DJs across every genre and every dance floor.
