Monetize Your Lo-Fi Beat Catalog — Built for Beat Makers
You craft warm, nostalgic, vinyl-crackle beats that soundtrack millions of study sessions, coffee shop moments, and late-night creative flows. Your catalog might include hundreds or even thousands of lo-fi beats distributed across streaming platforms, YouTube channels, and beat licensing platforms. Lo-fi hip-hop is one of the most-streamed micro-genres on Spotify and YouTube, with channels like Lofi Girl drawing tens of millions of regular listeners. Your beats generate revenue from multiple sources: streaming royalties, YouTube Content ID claims, beat licensing sales, and sync placements. But managing this complex web of revenue streams while continuing to produce new beats is overwhelming, and you're curious about whether your catalog could be worth more as a packaged asset than as a collection of individual income streams.
Challenges you might face
- ●Revenue is fragmented across many platforms — Spotify, YouTube Content ID, BeatStars, Airbit, sync libraries — making total income hard to track
- ●Hundreds or thousands of beats make catalog administration a full-time job
- ●Content ID disputes and false claims eat into time that should be spent creating
- ●Beat licensing revenue can be unpredictable — feast or famine depending on buyer traffic
- ●Unclear how to value a catalog that includes both streaming tracks and licensed beats
- ●No dedicated marketplace understands the unique economics of lo-fi beat catalogs
- ●Worried that selling means losing the beats that define your creative identity

Example scenario
A lo-fi beat maker with 800+ beats generating $24,000/year across Spotify streaming ($12,000), YouTube Content ID ($7,000), and BeatStars licensing ($5,000) sought to simplify their income and raise capital for a home studio upgrade. SpaceMusic.io's unified valuation aggregated all revenue streams and applied an 11x multiple, valuing the catalog at $264,000. The producer sold 50% for $132,000, allowing the buyer to actively manage Content ID and licensing while the producer continued earning from the retained half. Within a year, the buyer's active management had increased total catalog revenue by 30%, benefiting both parties.
