Reading Why Did Beatport Release a Free Streaming App That Doesn’t Even Have Ads? and the interview with Jeff Rimmer here that Beatgasm is a little different in that it aims to serve more to be a venue of advertising for a DJ's/Artists show and night club events, than your usual streaming service. This isn't a bad idea per se - hey, we work in advertising and this is a good advertising idea - but it seems you prevaricate when asked direct questions. You say it's a "music platform that put artists first", but clearly haven't given much thought to unsigned artists income, when their work is used as content on your platform if they aren't incorporated into the 'deals' made with various labels. There's a stress on the ability for live acts on Beatgasm - something that I really appreciate, I love beatmixing - but that's also where the rights management gets a little tricky unless you can sort out a blanket license. Getting the chance to connect with fans as a DJ skillfully blending other peoples songs together is great, and if it serves to advertise the club where the DJ plays (and gets paid), well that's nice too - but you're essentially still saying that the set played by the DJ on your platform is only paid in exposure.

Chris Castle asked some very good questions that I think you should address as well.
