The site, in 2004
An online store for electronic music aimed at DJs, selling full tracks and resources for remixing.
SFX Entertainment bought it in 2013 for a reported $50 million or so. It came out of SFX's 2016 bankruptcy without debt and still runs as a music store.
In 2004: Beatport 1.0 went live on 7 January, with 79 record labels in its catalogue.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
