Listed below are ALL genres currently accepted via delivery to Beatport, including the proper XML notation for each.
You may deliver valid sub-genres to your tracks now via XML. Or, if you wish to assign a sub-genre to a particular track/release please reach out to our Genre Support team using this form. The form should also be used if you need to update a genre after delivery. Our system will not update genres via XML update.
