Release Management Without the Spreadsheets
A typical release cycle in 2026 touches at least six tools: a spreadsheet for the release schedule, distribution platform for the upload, design tool for assets, email service for the announcement, social scheduler for the rollout, and analytics platform for the post-mortem. Every transition between them is a CSV export or a copy-paste.
BeatNex puts the entire release lifecycle on one platform, against one source of truth.
From planning to post-release
- Release calendar — see every upcoming release across the roster on one timeline
- Metadata management — ISRCs, UPCs, contributor roles, genre, mood, BPM, key
- Artwork — upload, validate dimensions and DPI for both digital and print specs
- Splits agreed and signed before submission — no last-minute discoveries
- Distribution prep — generate distributor-ready packages with the right naming, tagging, and file formats
- DJ promo wired in — send to your target DJ list as part of the release plan, not as a separate operation
- Newsletter timing — schedule the announce, the release-day blast, and the +1 week follow-up
- Post-release analytics — first-week, first-month, and rolling 12-month performance across every DSP
One source of truth
Because every workflow runs against the same release record, things stay consistent. The artwork on the smart link matches the artwork in the newsletter matches the artwork submitted to distribution. The release date in the calendar matches the release date in the announce email matches the release date in the splits agreement. No drift, no "wait, which version is right."
Built around the catalogue
Past releases stay live and accessible — not just for back-catalogue management, but because every new release benefits from the SEO and discoverability of everything that came before. Your public artist and release pages on BeatNex are indexed and rank on Google, compounding over time.
