If you are unsure of what genre to select for your music, check out this Beatport guide with some audio examples which can help you understand better which genres Beatport categorises you in.

Please note that Beatport could catagorise your release/track in a different genre, if they feel that it has been categorised incorrectly. We unfortunately have no control over them changing this. Beatport offer a lot of genres, and we do our best to map all them correctly. However in some rare cases, it may not fit perfectly, and your release/track may be categorised slightly differently to what you had planned

Beatport is also not available to display non western-language characters, your release could be rejected if they are unable to support it.
