It seems that beatport has won the itself a position of the main shop a new label would want to get to.
leaving my opinion aside, there is no denying that BP is a key place to get your music noticed and more importably sold.
so how do you get your music on there?
It is hardly as straight forward as beatport is showing in this video
these days it is more like:
“We think it is very important to be the definitive home of dance music and to accommodate as many new labels and talent as possible. However, at the current time we are not taking on any new label partners. We thank you for your patience as we work to bring on more new labels in the near future.”

Not sure where things are going but I got a feeling a change is coming.

Beatport has experienced sales declines due to the slow economy and due to their high prices. Beatport has also shut down their european division and has had other job cuts. Because of this, beatport is not accepting any new labels, especially up and coming ones. Beatport just wants big name labels with big name artists so they will not have to do any work to sell the tracks. Beatport has become more and more lazy and arrogant. I personally do not purchase tracks from Beatport and will not until I see more support for up and coming labels and artists.

i have to agree , they really have a long way to make in terms of supporting new acts and not just printing(or the digital equivalent of) dollars
