    Beatport Expands Genre Offerings with New Categories

    Global leader in music for DJs, Beatport, has added Ambient/Experimental as a new standalone genre, reclassifies Downtempo as own category.

    Beatport, a global leader in music for DJs, producers, and electronic music fans, has refined its genre classifications by adding Ambient/Experimental as a standalone category and separating Downtempo from Organic House. This change acknowledges the rising popularity of atmospheric, immersive soundscapes and slow-groove rhythms, giving artists a more precise way to classify their work.

    The Ambient/Experimental genre focuses on mood and texture rather than traditional melodies and beats. Ambient music is known for its slow-evolving, minimalistic soundscapes, while Experimental music challenges conventional structures with abstract textures and unconventional rhythms. Influential labels in this space include Warp Records, Kompakt, Kranky, and Erased Tapes, with pioneering artists such as Aphex Twin, Max Richter, Tim Hecker, and Autechre leading the movement.

    Downtempo, now its own distinct category, blends groove-driven beats with introspective melodies. The genre spans a wide range of styles, from the organic sounds of Balearic and Lo-Fi to the rhythmic influences of Trip-Hop and Chillout. Labels like Wonderwheel Recordings, Sol Selectas, and Cosmic Awakenings have been instrumental in shaping this sound, along with artists such as Chancha Via Circuito, El Búho, Kermesse, and Rodrigo Gallardo.

    These updates reflect Beatport’s commitment to evolving with the electronic music landscape, ensuring that artists and consumers can better navigate the growing diversity of sounds within the industry.

    “Electronic music is constantly evolving, and Ambient/Experimental and Downtempo have become essential parts of the ecosystem,” said Raphael Pujol, Vice President of Global Curation at The Beatport Group. “These genres offer artists a space for deep sonic exploration and provide listeners with immersive, boundary-pushing experiences. By introducing dedicated pages, we’re making it easier for fans to discover these sounds and for artists to connect with their audiences.”
