We’re Joining Beatport!
After almost 1.5 years building Listn, I am thrilled to announce that we will be joining Beatport in New York City!
When we first started Listn we set out to change and improve the way the world shares and communicates via the music they love. Now, over a year later we’re proud to be joining a company that shares that mission!
To focus our energy on all the exciting projects at Beatport, we will be shutting down Listn at the end of the month. This means that Listn will continue to work for everyone that has it installed until October 30, but it will be removed from the App Store today.
Beatport is the largest electronic music community in the world. We are a part of their incredible goal to round out the end-to-end experience, from live events to digital music. Now more than ever, we are focused on building a community for people from all walks of life, united by music. In the coming months, we will update you on all the exciting work. In the meantime I want to thank the amazing Listn community for your ongoing support and shared passion for music and technology.
My sincerest appreciation to our investors, advisors, friends, families, the amazing team at Apple, our amazing users, and more importantly my teammates: Matt, John, Navied and James!

Here we go!
