Hello guys. Hope everyone is well and making music.
I release techno music on beatport. When submitting a release on iMusician, there are two options:
-Detroit Techno
-Techno
And on Beatport, there are two genres which techno falls under:
-Techno (Raw, Deep)
-Techno (Peak time, Driving)
My question is, does beatport label the music themselves when they get the release or does it automatically get sorted into a genre after a distributor (iMusician in this case) gives them metadata?
On Beatport with iMusician, I firstly published with the iMusician label in IM Electronica. For my latest EP, I have created a label & published it with iMusician too
I will add that if you publish on beatport via iMusician electronic and dance metadata must be selected if you have a subscription that allow you to create a label on beatport via iMusician you can choose the kind of genre like techno or other.
Another link with Beatport manager to help you waiting
Select the genre (Detroit Techno or Techno) when you create the release and, once we deliver it to Beatport, they will either keep the genre you assigned in the metadata or re-assign a more fitting genre if their team think it’s necessary.
