- The two companies will team up to provide festival coverage and playlists.
Beatport and Spotify have announced details of a partnership.
According to Billboard, Beatport, which was bought by Robert F.X. Sillerman's SFX in 2013, will bring festival videos and playlists to the streaming service.
"We're very excited to be the first streaming service to partner with Spotify," Beatport CEO Greg Consiglio told Billboard. "We have a unique perspective on what's trending, which new artists are breaking. We're taking that expertise to Spotify—we'll be curating unique weekly playlists that really only Beatport can do. It's a really interesting opportunity for us to be looked at by Spotify, where they have a lot of electronic music, but they don't have the same expertise that we do."
The announcement comes seven months after Beatport first revealed details of its own music streaming service.
