Hey better than the record days where I’d be hammered and I’d order a bunch of tracks from like Hard To Find, 3 Beat, and Planet X. Package would arrive a few days later and I’d be like what I don’t remember ordering anything. Put them on the old 1200’s and wow I must’ve been drunk these are terrible.

At least BP is just a $2 commitment.

    Any promo codes knocking about at the moment?

      Amps Nope. They’re rarely ever worth it as they don’t apply to most WAV tracks. I always look at Bandcamp first. Much cheaper. The latest 3 track Bedrock EP is only £2 on Bandcamp but €6 on Beatport.

        Anyone experiencing any problems logging in to the website from an android phone?

        I’m able to log into my account via a laptop, but when I try the same from my phone, I’m getting an invalid prompt.

          ScottBailey They seem to have issues all the time. Haven’t been able to play music on there using Chrome on a Mac for over a year. Have to use Firefox or other to browse.

              Amps I’ve always used firefox on my laptop, so not noticed that tbf. Frustrating not to be able to filter by releases, or turn on ‘pre-order’ on my phone though. Fed up having to trawl through all the compilations being churned out at the moment!

                  An end of year thing I guess? Not something I usually look at to be honest.

                    Amps I use a Mac and Chrome and never had an issue. Strange.

                    Beatport need a few more features. The ability to filter out comps would be nice but probably not viable.

                    Definitely the ability to filter out tracks you’ve already listened too would be handy. I know the bulk of promo’s are dropped on a Friday but they add them all the time.

                        SM001 you can definitely filter out comps’ on a laptop by using the ‘type’ filter to just see ‘releases’ only, but I don’t know if they use java (or some alternative) for that feature that my phone doesn’t recognise.

                          SM001 The thing they are crying out for is a tagging system of some form. So, if you really want a nice juxtapose track next, maybe some 303 acid to rub up against the piano track you just played, you can go into ‘prog house’ and then filter stuff tagged with ‘303 acid’. That would save having to filter through every track in the hope of finding one with a bit of appropriate acid.

                            I’ve not used BP in years. I don’t know why you’re all not using Crates. It runs off the BP back so you’re effectively using BP but with a much, much better UI. It’s a lot quicker than the BP UI, there’s more functionality than BP. Once you’ve spent 10 mins setting some personalised crates up it’s an absolutely dream to use. You link your BP account and you can purchase directly, so you never need to visit BP again.

                            It was jointly created by Mark Slee who owns SF’s Manjumasi label with Atish and another guy.

                            crates.co is the address for it. Give it a try.

                              Looks like Beatport but with an even smaller interface and artwork. Pass.

                                Can someone do mean a favour and try to log into Beatport via their phone (pref’ android) please?
                                Not been able to log into their website via my phone for the last couple of weeks now. Either get a “500 internal server error” screen come up, or says “invalid login”.
                                Everything working fine from my computer, and been really careful typing username and password in, so not sure if it’s something their end or not.
                                Cheers in advance

                                Just tried logging in, no dice.

                                As soon as i try type in user name it flips.

                                  Mad_Cyril cheers MC. I’m on an S8.
                                  Reason I want to use my phone is because our wifi in the flat it rubbish and it takes forever to download tracks, whereas it takes seconds when I use 4g on my phone. Was working fine up until 2 weeks ago.

                                    Basically goes to random pages as soon as I hit login.

                                    Is over WiFi too.

                                    Fine off my eye pad.

                                    Suspect an android issue (call me Sherlock!)

                                      Try switching your browser to ‘desktop site’ and then back to mobile afterwards - worked for me on an S10.

                                        Mad_Cyril exactly the same as me then.
                                        Thanks for doing that. Thought I’d been hacked or something. Even changed my password when logged in on my laptop, just in case!

                                          Echo Cheers for the tip, however I just tried that and still get “invalid login” 🙁

                                              Doesnt seem to work. But im using Samsungs own browser.

                                              I’m good though, not essential for me fortunately.

                                                Just to mix it up, I was logged out of Sound cloud and now can’t access my account anymore and after multiple non-replied to emails have decided to black ball that shite for good.

                                                Thanks for your time, guys.

                                                Have you tried turning it on and off again?

                                                    ScottBailey why didn’t I think of that earlier?! Knew I could rely on you, Ed….

                                                    One does what one can!

                                                      Separate note, anyone got a Beatport Code? Could have sworn I saw one the other day but can’t find now??

                                                      23 days later

                                                      SAVE10, SAVE20 & SAVE30 for purchases > 20, 40 & 60 $ respectively.

                                                      I buy through a US VPN, spent $60 and was VERY surprised to find SAVE30 took $30 off the price, not 30%

                                                        Has puzzled me for about 6 months 🤣
