Beatport Launches Track ID: The Music Discovery Tool DJs Have Been Waiting For

Track identification tool built for noisy clubs, layered mixes, pitch-shifted transitions, and challenging live music environments.

May 12, 2026

London, U.K., May 12, 2026 — Beatport, the world's leading DJ and dance music platform, today announced the launch of Track ID, one of the most requested features by the platform's user base. Available now in the Beatport mobile app, Track ID is a purpose-built music recognition tool that empowers DJs and music fans to identify tracks in real-time.

Unlike generic music identification apps, Track ID is engineered specifically for the DJ experience. It recognises tracks even in the most challenging environments: noisy clubs, complex DJ mixes, pitch-shifted transitions, and seamless blends. When a track is identified, it's instantly accessible within Beatport's ecosystem and automatically saved to a dedicated "Track ID" history.

“Sharing Track IDs has been a hotly debated topic amongst DJs over the years,” said Helen Sartory, Chief Revenue Officer. “But we’ve come a long way since the days of covering up labels on vinyl; now there are hundreds of sites, groups, and apps all dedicated to IDing music. With the launch of Track ID, we’re now able to connect DJs to the music they’re looking for in the moment, and showcase the artists behind those tracks that really inspire.”

The feature works in three simple steps: tap the Track ID icon in Beatport’s app main navigation, let the app listen to the surrounding audio, and receive instant results. Identified tracks appear in the player screen for immediate preview and interaction, while simultaneously being added to the user's personal Track ID history.

Track ID also represents a step forward in artist recognition by making it effortless for DJs and fans to identify tracks; the feature supports the electronic music community's ongoing efforts to ensure producers receive proper recognition for their work.

"When DJs can easily identify and share track information, it benefits everyone," said Helen Sartory, Chief Revenue Officer. "What we hope to see is Track ID being used not only as a discovery tool, but in the future, building the foundations for accurate setlist reporting (helping payout missing performance royalties), and at a global level, showing labels and artists where and when their music is being performed live.”

Track ID has been developed in partnership with seeqnc, a leading AI-powered music recognition and analytics platform focused on enabling transparency in copyright and monetization of music.

“At seeqnc, we build technology that unlocks revenue opportunities for artists and rights holders,” said Berhard Famler, CEO and Co-Founder of seeqnc. “We’re proud to support Beatport in launching Track ID and advancing music discovery for the global DJ community.”
