With New Year's Eve quickly approaching, DJs are putting their final touches on their USBs, as deciding which tracks they might drop at whatever party or festival they're playing come the night of December 31st. Just recently, Beatport launched a New Year's Eve 2015 page, with tons of music, including Peak Hour Tracks, that DJs can turn to in case they're stuck putting together a New Year's Eve playlist, because, after all, no one wants to hear bad music when trying to have a good time on New Year's Eve!
The page includes quite a few options for artists, so here's a breakdown of how Beatport has split everything up.
There are three options to choose from; Club (Deep House, Tech House & Techno), Festival (EDM, Prog House, Bass & Trance), and After Hours (Minimal, Tech House & Techno). Within each option, there is a 29-track playlist that corresponds to the appropriate title.
Take Festival for example. A DJ can go to this option and scroll through 29 different tracks that Beatport has determined would fit well for a Festival style crowd (i.e. "Chemical" from Tiesto, Don Diablo and Thomas). The artist has the option of purchasing the entire playlist, which starts at $52.21 for the Festival playlist and goes up to $77.59 for the After Hours playlist, but there are actually 41 tracks in this playlist compared to the other two, which contain 29. If an artist doesn't want all of the tracks in each option, they have the ability to scroll through the playlist and purchase tracks on an individual basis.

On top of Beatport's playlists, Beatport has listed some of the top EDM artist's playlists for New Year's Eve. There's a playlist from the likes of Tiesto, Avicii, Axwell & Ingrosso, The Chainsmokers, Yellow Claw, R3hab and more!
To add to the selection categories, Beatport has curated what they call NYE Essentials, which are comprised of playlists for the likes of Countdowns, Opening Hour, Techno, Deep House, Tech House, Electro House, Progressive House and a few others that will surely be needed for New Year's Eve events.
With all these options presented by Beatport, there should be no excuse for bad music to ring in the new year with!
