River Beats Digital Group, founded in 2016, has grown into a major player in the electronic music digital media industry. With over two million annual website visitors and a social media following of 200,000, the company has become a force to be reckoned with. When the pandemic hit in 2020, River Beats Digital Group launched livestream fundraisers that raised $150,000 for independent venues and musicians, paving the way for digital events in the dance music space.
Building on this success, founders Ben Dills and Sean Schmidt have introduced River Beats TV, the first electronic music-focused direct-to-fan live-music distribution platform and mobile app. River Beats TV provides electronic music fans with virtual access to concerts worldwide through livestreams and on-demand content. Subscriptions are available at $9.99 per month or $99 annually, with pay-per-view options starting at $12.99. The platform delivers broadcast-level content using high-fidelity audio and video gear.
River Beats TV kicks off its streaming schedule with events like Colorado’s Sonic Bloom Festival and its own rooftop pool party series, THE DEEP, featuring headliners such as Ardalan, Goldfish, and Chet Porter. Fans can also enjoy archival sets from acclaimed artists like Late Night Radio and Jantsen. River Beats TV collaborates with artists and brands, providing monetization options and avoiding ad-related video takedowns. With its dedication to delivering high-quality concert experiences, River Beats TV is democratizing access to electronic music events. The app is available for download on various platforms.
