Welcome to BEATFRAME
When we first entered the music business, we knew we wanted to give something back to all of the independent DJs out there. We've always felt it shouldn't be resources that can make or break a DJ. If you have talent and are willing to work hard, why shouldn't you be able to fulfill that life long dream of spinning the decks on the big stages or have your track top the charts?
Our response, back in 2008, was a new social network (atlast.fm) focused on DJs and their music. With this social network we have aimed to give the best upcoming DJs a chance by hosting contests where the best were offered a spot as the support act at our club events. Since then we have seen a lot of talent make their way onto the big stages, supported by our company from day one.
Now however we have arrived in a new era, where internet has vastly taken over many of the concepts and business models we used to call the music industry. Your local record store has been absorbed by big online music stores while new platforms to promote yourself and your music are skyrocketing!
This potentially could mean a breakthrough for any upcoming DJ, but with internet's greatly increasing accessibility, it is inevitably that more DJs sign up for these services every day. This means the market gets fragmented and cluttered with your colleagues more and more every day.
So now it seems a new problem has arrived. Only the DJs with the best social skills and prettiest websites have a chance of ascending the masses and continue to follow their dream.
As a response to this problem, we are now continuing our mission to take money, resources, and social presence out of the equation. This way you can get back to focusing on what matters most: your talent!
To deliver all the tools you need to set up and maintain your career, we have created BEATFRAME. This tool bundels everything you need, like building a professional website, managing your bookings, overseeing advanced statistics and more. But you'll also be able to upload automatically to soundcloud, twitter, facebook, and more, to optimise your marketing potential.
So with great pleasure we invite you to start managing your career, using our brand new platform. And the best thing is, it's free and will always remain free. So request an invite and start buidling.
