Mar 11, 2008 5:12 PM

Beatport has announced the worldwide launch of Beatsource.com, an urban music download store that's aiming to provide access to high-quality, legal music downloads, with a focus on premium urban and hip-hop music content. The online store is set to use all of Beatport's current technology including DRM free downloads in multiple formats, instant download shopping, advanced search, language localization and music-browsing features to help locate urban music and DJ tools.

 

The music catalog includes Beatsource digital exclusives with DJ Rectangle and Milkcrate Records, new releases from Big Dada, Koch, Nervous, Delicious Vinyl, Stones Throw and more than 800 urban labels. In addition, Beatsource will offer hard-to-find DJ classics from artists like Madlib, Dizzee Rascal, J Dilla, Jazzy Jeff, KRS-One and more, available for download at prices ranging from $1.49 to $2.49.

 

Beatsource is celebrating its launch by awarding over $10,000 in prizes through its Great Launch Giveaway, where any newly registered user who joins Beatsource before March 15, 2008, will be automatically entered into a giveaway with the chance to win one of three prize packages from Apple, Pioneer, Native Instruments and Beatsource.com.
