You want Beatport DJ mixes, but Beatport is mainly a store for tracks, not a mix platform like Mixcloud or SoundCloud. That makes it easy to hunt in the wrong places. Mixes do exist there, they just live in a few different spots, and what you can do with them depends on your plan and your setup.

Here is the short answer. You can find and stream curated sets through Beatport's playlists, charts, and DJ-led content, and you can stream full tracks with a Beatport Streaming subscription. For creating your own mix, you can load Beatport tracks into supported DJ software such as rekordbox, Serato DJ Pro, Traktor, or Denon DJ through the streaming integrations. Selling or uploading a mix is a different story, because licensing rules apply.

Below, you'll see where to look for mixes, how streaming and downloads differ, and how to build a set with Beatport tracks step by step. We'll also flag what the rules allow, so your finished mix doesn't get taken down.

Beatport built its business on selling and streaming individual tracks. That means Beatport DJ mixes are not a core feature with their own upload page, profiles, and comment threads. You won't find a spot to drop a two-hour recording the way you can on Mixcloud. Instead, mixes show up in a few formats, and each one works differently.

Access depends on what you pay for. A free account gives you short track previews. Buying a track gives you a file you own. A Beatport Streaming subscription gives you full-length streaming of the catalog, and the higher tiers add things like offline access and DJ software support. Plan names and features change, so check the current plan page before you subscribe.

Keep one distinction in mind. A chart or playlist is a list of tracks, not one continuous audio file. You hear each song on its own, without the DJ's transitions. If you want the actual blend, you need a recorded set from a livestream or a DJ's own channel.

Creating works the same way. Beatport supplies the music, and you supply the mixing, either in the Beatport DJ web app or in supported software such as rekordbox, Serato DJ Pro, Traktor, or Denon DJ. What you can do with the finished recording is where the licensing rules come in, and we'll cover that in Step 4.

Beatport sells and streams the tracks, and the mix itself is something you build, play, and share elsewhere.

Start with charts and playlists, because that is where Beatport DJ mixes are easiest to spot. Ten minutes of browsing gives you a shortlist of DJs and genres
