Beatport Creates New Genres
Blog post originally from the SymphonicBlog.
Beatport has created new genres to distinguish EDM and underground electronic music.
You may already know that Beatport has been working hard on the re-classification of their genres.
Here’s what you need to know about the new Beatport genres:
- Two new genres will be added to the store, “Big Room” and “Future House“
- Pop/Rock is becoming Dance, which is already in effect
- Chill Out has been phased out as a genre and merged with Electronica to become Electronica/Downtempo
- Nearly all 4/4 music from Electronica Top 100 will be classified as Deep House
- Electro House will be phased out as a genre and become the sub-genre of Big Room
- Progressive House will remain as a main genre but it will be realigned as Progressive in the style of Sasha/Digweed
- EDM style Progressive will be merged into Big Room
- Incoming Electro House content will be mapped to Big Room | Electro House. And incoming Electronica and Chill Out will be mapped to a new primary genre of Electronica / Downtempo.
The update has been rolled out on Monday, Sept. 12. Learn more here.
[Update Sep. 19] Beatport heard the feedback from labels, music producers, DJs and fans from all over the world and they've decided to bring back Electro House as the main genre.
