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.

Here's 5 reasons why it's a bad idea to buy off these services, and also what to do instead when you're trying to get more listeners. 1. HOW TO TELL WHEN THE PLAYS ARE FAKE There's a few ways to spot a fake service out. If they give a hard number of plays instead of a range (Fake) If they talk about them being 'safe' plays (Fake) If they guarantee likes, comments, and re-posts (Fake) Why are these fake indicators? Real promotion services usually give a range of plays that will be delivere

Most informations were originally from a Symphonic Dist .'s e-mail and from the SymBlog . First, a personal note from me, Coldbeat. Coldbeat: "-I've recently been talking with a few artists about this subject, but it seems that most people don't have a full understanding on how STEMS work, and what are this new format of music file, hell.. I'm still not fully aware. But let's see what we know and what information we have so far. Most people will associate the word "STEMS" to remixes, right?

You're not wrong, those are the STEMS. But this new music format created by Native Instruments (I'm assuming) is quite different from those STEMS you're used to know from the remix packs and remix competitions. So, let's see what we know so far." About STEMS. Native Ins
