95% of Beatport sales go to DJs, consumers don’t buy music there, considering that 150 sales are enough to reach the top of the Beatport Psytrance charts it is clear that music sales don’t generate any significant reach. While it has always been a good option for newcomers to offer their music for free to get their sound out to the scene, more and more well-known producers are also releasing some of their music for free. This is a shame because there are many possibilities to legally listen to and download music for free and still support the artists. The site also allows for artists to offer free music downloads with the option to donate to the artist or to receive a free track or album by joining the artist’s email list. All tracks can be played for free on the website and users are provided with the option to purchase the album or a specific track at customizable prices, often completely for free. Bandcamp was founded in 2007, providing an online music store as well as a platform for artist promotion, which is mainly used by independent artists.Bandcamp provides customizable microsites for artists and labels where music can be uploaded and shared, and features information on the artist, social media links, and also merchandising links.
