Beatsource Has Just Changed EVERYTHING | Explaining The DJ Exclusives Program

Beatsource recently launched its DJ Exclusives program, which has been 20 years in the making. It’s built around an entirely new, never been done licensing model, and means that DJs can access the types of remixes and edits which have previously only been found on record pools, but in a way which ensures both the original rights holders and the DJs themselves get fairly compensated for their work.

On the new episode of Beatsource Tech, Mojaxx explains what the DJ Exclusives program is, and how it all works.
