Beatport's president Lloyd Starr speaks about the future, download farms, and what EDM means Posted: 24 Jul 2014 12:00 AM PDT This year, in 2014, just as Beatport marks its 10th anniversary, Lloyd Starr, 35, has been named acting president. It's a leadership role that the former COO has been diligently working towards over his past decade with the company. You might say he's been groomed for the position. Recently, the door opened due to former CEO Matt Adell's exit last month. So, after much internal discussion, Starr has stepped in and up, and has never looked back. In a new mini-interview with leading music industry publication Billboard, Beatport's new helmer opens up about the future of the digital dance music download platform, his overarching plan to increase the organization's social media reach, their ongoing cat-and-mouse game with download farms, and the true meaning of EDM.
