The company says the tool now filters out AI tracks during upload, and rights holders get a notice when a track is rejected. A Beatport survey found that 60 percent of users wouldn't play AI music in their sets, and 77 percent prefer human-made music. Only 8 percent are open to AI tracks, while 13 percent would consider them if artists were paid fairly.\n\nBeatport CEO Matt Gralen said new production techniques have pushed electronic music forward from the start, but there's a difference between a tool that helps people and a system that replaces them entirely. Other platforms like Deezer have recently taken similar steps against the sharp rise in AI uploads. Deezer says nearly [50 percent](https://the-decoder.com/the-flood-of-ai-music-is-reshaping-how-streaming-platforms-handle-new-uploads/) of its daily uploads are AI-generated.\n\n```\nAI News Without the Hype – Curated by Humans\n\n\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe to THE DECODER for ad-free reading, a weekly AI newsletter, our exclusive \"AI Radar\" frontier report six times a year, full archive access, and access to our comment section.\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe now\n```\n\n[Beatportal](https://www.beatportal.com/articles/1571333-beatport-expands-beatdapp-partnership-to-detect-ai-generated-music)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/beatport-blocks-fully-ai-generated-music-from-its-dj-marketplace", "canonical_source": "https://the-decoder.com/beatport-blocks-fully-ai-generated-music-from-its-dj-marketplace/", "published_at": "2026-08-28 11:20:27+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-28 11:49:21.781607+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-policy"], "entities": ["Beatport", "Beatdapp", "Matt Gralen", "Deezer"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/beatport-blocks-fully-ai-generated-music-from-its-dj-marketplace", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/beatport-blocks-fully-ai-generated-music-from-its-dj-marketplace.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/beatport-blocks-fully-ai-generated-music-from-its-dj-marketplace.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/beatport-blocks-fully-ai-generated-music-from-its-dj-marketplace.jsonld"}}
