Discover Music and Create Together in a New, Gamified Experience
Founded in 2020 by Alexandre Turbide, Nicholas Laroche, and Yohan Édouard-Antoine, BeatConnect is a Montreal-based startup dedicated to transforming the online music creation experience through user collaboration. In 2023, BeatConnect launched its multiplayer DAW, enabling thousands of beatmakers to create music in real-time with their friends. Since its inception, BeatConnect has raised nearly $5 million in investments and has a team of fifteen employees across Canada, the United States, and England.
BeatConnect, the creative playground for multiplayer music creation, is excited to announce the launch of Drops, a feature designed to ignite, amplify, and spread creativity—fostering collaboration and community among musicians.
With Drops, users can explore a diverse array of music projects created by the BeatConnect community, remix it in their unique style, and share their new creation with the world. This continuous cycle of creativity and remixing ensures that the collaborative energy never stops, making music creation more dynamic and engaging than ever.
“We’re thrilled to unveil Drops and redefine online music creation,” says Alexandre Turbide, CEO and Co-Founder of BeatConnect. “Drops is set to transform online music collaboration by introducing a unique, gamified approach that celebrates creativity, connection, and skill development.”
Empowering musicians through community and creativity, the design of Drops maintains individual creative flow while fostering connections between beatmakers. It simplifies finding inspiration, expressing musical identity, giving feedback, and developing skills, making it easier for musicians to collaborate and grow together.
“We’re proud to create an experience that connects musicians and encourages them to collaborate and progress for the sheer joy of creativity,” says Yohan Édouard-Antoine, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of BeatConnect.
The BeatConnect experience, built on the powerful Unity engine, opens up infinite possibilities for design, 3D animation, and gamification. This new and creative approach of building on a gaming engine framework sets BeatConnect apart in the DAW category, offering a rich, interactive environment for music creation.
“Unity allows us to bring our ideas to life in a powerful and flexible environment, enabling us to create freely and develop quickly in both 2D and 3D,” says Nicholas Laroche, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of BeatConnect.
Drops is now available for free at www.beatconnect.com, offering a new dimension in collaborative music creation.
