1. About DLS Beats
1.1 Mission Statement
DLS Beats strives to become an internationally acknowledged leading music production company and market
leader by delivering unique and inspirational products of high quality and exceptional customer service, build
upon a foundation of giving artists the power to succeed and grow in the world’s rapidly evolving music industry.
1.2 Company Information
DLS Beats is an internationally renowned state-of-the-art music production company that supplies music
production services to artists, companies, brands and spaces.
After being founded in 2002, the main style and sound of DLS Beats is Hip Hop and Electronic music and since
the beginning more than 1,000,000 song plays, 100,000 fans and thousands of music and beat downloads have
been collected. The company is not limited to producing beats for client releases and until nowadays a variety of
remix, instrumental and song mixtapes and albums, totalling 30 have been released in their own name. The most
successful release is a remix of a song by Dub Fx called Time Will Tell, with whom a mixtape was published
early in 2013 and for the upcoming year many interesting projects will be launched such as studio session videos,
the release of a second relaxation music episode and of course many more music releases.
DLS Beats is offering beats from a catalogue which can be licensed to get the rights to use them for albums,
mixtapes, promotional videos, film, TV, websites and more. All beats are produced by the founder of the
company, DLS and it is highly valued and crucial that the artwork of other producers is being respected by not
copying their sound and music productions. A wide range of sounds, genres and bpm are available and both old
school and new school type of beats are being produced. At the present time it is significant to stand out and use
beats which other artists have not used before; therefore the premium exclusive licence is a special category of
beats because each in this category has never been used by anyone and the quality is much higher than the other
category of beats. Moreover, the need of tracked out versions increased in the past couple of years; hence it is
possible to acquire the track outs with each licence apart from the non exclusive licence. A special feature about
the non exclusive licence is that the beats can be downloaded as both an MP3 and a WAV version.
Besides the beats from the catalogue, custom beats can be produced on demand and an extensive range of music
genres can be created depending on the artists’ needs and the contemporary company is known for blending
music genres. The process of arranging a personalized beat is very simple. The artist gives instructions about how
the future beat should sound and DLS Beats will produce an instrumental accordingly. Once the beat has been
finalised, the artist will receive a tracked out version of the beat by email for mixing and mastering.
DLS Beats has been very active in remixing songs of independent and major artists including Snoop Dogg,
Pharrell, Public Enemy, Kid Cudi, Wale, Tinie Tempah, Labrinth, Tiesto, Uffie and Jason Derulo to name a few.
The newest remixes are of B.o.B, Ca$h Out, Cypress Hill and Rusko and on our website we provide a complete
list of DLS Remixes. Custom remixes can be booked by any artists and the process works similarly like booking
custom instrumentals.

1.3 Clients
DLS Beats has produced singles, albums, remixes and background music for clients from all around the globe for
example but not limited to the USA, Canada, Brazil, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Norway, South Africa, Saudi
Arabia, India, Philippines, Australia and Norway. Since they are focussed on Hip Hop and EDM music, mostly of
the clients are from these industries and each year, new countries are being added to the list. Globalisation helps
to increase the diversity of music culture and sounds and in 2014; DLS Beats is looking to reach out to more
countries in Europe and Latin Africa. On the following map you can see in which countries the beats were used in
blue.
1.4 Charities
In order to give back to the community, DLS Beats is supporting a couple of music oriented charities by donating
a percentage of the sale of certain songs. Unfortunately it is hard to find music studios in some remote areas in
this world, but the donations will enable a lot of people to get access to them because it is crucial for song
recording and below you can see the charities we are currently associated with. In the future, we are planning to
create our own charity and it will be based on music development as well. We started a few projects in countries
from Africa and depending on the outcome we will establish a charity within the next two years.
