ANNĒ, Closet Yi, Coco & Breezy, Confidential Recipe, HoneyLuv, Junior Simba, Lens, and Mala Ika are the Beatport Next Class of 2023.


Beatport has been bringing upcoming artists to the surface with their project Beatport Next and is back again for its third edition. For the last two years, the program has created noticeable changes in numbers for the lucky selects. In 2021, the project came to life with the intention to broadcast and support rising artists that check all of their boxes, and the results made clear the benefits of Beatport on your side.

Last year, Beatport Next included eight artists – 8KAYS, AMÉMÉ,  Emily Nash, Jaden Thompson, Mariana Trench, Nia Archives, Nikki Nair, and Risa Taniguchi – who not only had a whopping 353% increase in Beatport store revenue they also received a 213% increase in Beatport followers. Today, after long consideration of all the amazing artists that flooded their inboxes for the latest iteration of the series, Beatport has officially announced the artists for 2023.

The anticipation is over, and the Beatport Next Class of 2023 features another eight talented artists from regions around the world – ANNĒ, Closet Yi, Coco & Breezy, Confidential Recipe, HoneyLuv, Junior Simba, Lens, and Mala Ika. The newest additions shine in a wide array of several realms of the musical spectrum, making them the perfect candidates to uphold the program’s mission.

From fierce international sounds to crowd-pumping techno, the combination of these artists reaches new frequencies that deserve attention. Coco & Breezy bring their Afro-Latina women DJs and producers by paying homage to the classics, while HoneyLuv infuses hip-hop, R&B, and more for a refreshing take on house and techno. Lens is a UK-based artist who has come into her own in the drum and bass scene over the past few years, and Confidential Recipe throws down a hearty helping of hard techno from his home base of Colombia.

Check out the complete list of talent and their backstories via the Beatport website, and get immersed in their tracks on the Beatport Next 2023 chart. Be sure to stay up to date with the latest happenings on Beatport by following their accounts on social media.

Brooke's journey with music began in her youth, where a deep love for melodies and rhythms took root. Years spent finding herself at music festivals only deepened that connection, eventually leading her to realize she wanted more than just to experience the scene, she wanted to be a part of the heartbeat that brings these events to life. Relocating to Denver in 2020 to kickstart her music industry career, she was captivated by the power of words to convey the quintessence of sound. Writing about music became more than just a profession—it became a natural expression of her connection to the art form. Today, Brooke continues to craft compelling narratives celebrating music’s magic. With her deep love for the scene and unwavering dedication, she remains a driving force in the ever-evolving landscape of music journalism.
