FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BEATPORT & LOOPMASTERS JOIN FORCES IN SOUNDS
PARTNERSHIP
BERLIN, DE; LONDON, UK - AUGUST 1, 2019 - Beatport, the world’s premier digital music
store for DJs, has sold its Beatport Sounds business to Loopmasters, the leading online store
for sound packs and plugins.
The transaction also includes a strategic investment in Loopmasters by Beatport to help
accelerate the ever-growing production sounds business.
Beatport CEO Robb McDaniels said: "Our partnership with, and investment in, Loopmasters
illustrates Beatport's commitment to delivering the best products to our loyal customers and the
global DJ/producer community. Loopmasters’ long history of delivering a world-class product
and customer experience is going to be a valuable asset for Beatport’s more than 36 million
annual visitors for many years to come."
Loopmasters’ Founder and CEO Matt Pelling said: “We are thrilled to integrate the Loopmasters
product suite into the Beatport site, enhance our sound library with their licensed sounds
catalogue and gain access to the amazing artist and label relationships they have cultivated
over the last 15 years. The combination of these two great companies will surely create an
unparalleled product offering for emerging and established producers around the world.”
Launched in 2003, Loopmasters has an evolving product portfolio that includes an a la carte
download store for sound packs, a cloud-based subscription service (Loopcloud), and Plugin
Boutique. This is where the best music software companies sell their VST Plugins, Virtual
Instruments, Synth Presets and Music Plugins.
Over the next year, Beatport will integrate Loopmasters’ product suite into its website so that
Beatport’s DJ customers can easily browse and purchase music production tools. This is
alongside Beatport’s vast portfolio of expertly curated full-length tracks.
Loopcloud is the first product that will appear on the Beatport site under the new partnership.
Loopcloud is the ultimate solution to inspire producers around the world, with millions of
samples to audition and manipulate in perfect tempo and key with their digital audio workstation
(“DAW”) project. Importantly, this is before spending any money.
Future developments will include an enhanced product offering for Loopmasters’ sister company
Plugin Boutique.
