Over the past four years, Beatport's accelerator program for emerging artists, Beatport Next, has given numerous acts a significant career boost, providing them with the promotional tools they need to amplify their sound and introduce them to audiences worldwide.

Initially featuring six artists before increasing that number to eight in 2022, and then further to twelve in 2024, Beatport gives new talented acts the opportunity to shine while strengthening their visibility and connection to the global DJ/producer community.

The selected artists will be joining the ranks of an elite group who have grown to become some of dance music's most sought-after acts, including Ahadadream, KILIMANJARO, Aida Arko, TSHA, Kevin de Vries, Nala, Nia Archives, Logic1000, VNSSA, IMANU, Nikki Nair,, and more.
