​This release was done through Jeffree's, a sub-label of Mad Decent. Their business model is covered in this Billboard article but to paraphrase it briefly: Jeffree's is used by Mad Decent to sign one-off track deals with producers which is then release it to the public for free. If the track gets some ​buzz they will start selling it. It's a win-win proposition for the producer, label, and fan which has helped launch the career of Baauer with his Jeffree's backed hit, 'Harlem Shake'.

Be sure to bookmark ​the Jeffree's site to download future releases for free.

Recorded live from London, UK on February 23rd: 

This 4 hour journey has unbelievable energy, great mixing, and fantastic uplifting trance vocal track selections. This is my favourite trance set of the year so far.

SFX hints of their futures plans for Beatport

​It goes well beyond just selling electronic dance music tracks online.

Quoted from Chris Stephenson, the CMO of SFX:

"We’ll use the Beatport platform to help promote events, and the event audiences to help promote awareness of Beatport,"

“There’s a mobile opportunity not only to take your music on the road, but also the ticketing aspect; the idea that when I buy a ticket, it goes to my mobile phone and allows me to engage at an event in a way I haven’t been able to before. We can push directly to Facebook, or scan an RFID at the events themselves, tracking real-time what people are doing. We can preload mobile devices, partnering with a wallet-type business.
