It's very annoying for Producers, DJs & Fans to not be able to identify what tracks from their favorite producers have been re-released - and what tracks are brand new.


Producers get misrepresented as songs they made many years ago, and often times on outdated technology, are re-released by record labels.  If someone goes to check out an artist they might be misled and think "man this guy is really off the mark, he's really not in touch with the current sound". 


DJs have to spend extra time hunting and digging through old tunes and run the risk of missing or over-looking new ones.  


THIS HAS TO STOP.


When brought up to a group of friends, one stated:


"I have stuff in there from the 90s that looks like it was released in 2009. I mean, really? not just the current sound, but my skills and the technology were SO different! you know what, I'm gonna write a strongly worded letter about this."


Together, maybe we can stop this!  


If enough of us sign this petition, maybe beatport will listen to us!

This is so frustrating. My charts get cluttered with recycled tracks and it makes the platform a huge pain to use for actual gig prep.
