When did Beatport reintroduce sub-genres?

| I just discovered, quite by accident, that Beatport has reintegrated sub-genres, which previously went out the window when they switched to the new interface. It's still prone to rampant mis-labelling (browsing "Progressive Trance" is enough to make Mattsanity cry) but I for one welcome its reintroduction. Being able to sort Techno down to Acid Techno is particularly useful. |

I went a long Beatport trawl yesterday and it was the standard labeling. Must have just been implemented, although just doing a quick search it looks to be the same here in the US.
Interesting news if it comes here, as it could significantly reduced the time I spend searching. |

| You can access it by going on the genre page, where you’re shown a list of tags you can filter by. I could be wrong but I was sure they removed the feature, which is why I stopped searching by genre. |

| I really wouldn't rely on Beatport for this |

| Anything that helps spark brand new searches is welcome. As a result of it I've already found and crated about 15 tracks that were a million miles away from any artists or labels I followed previously. There are too many tracklists going around these days where you can practically see the Beatport search pattern in front of you. |

| Thanks for the heads up on this, this is how I remember using Beatport years ago. It really helps you find those obscure artists/labels. Using it has already refined my Ambient/Atmospheric Jungle searches instead of just clicking on Drum n Bass. |

| Oh, by the way Syntonic... I'm just polishing off a new atmospheric drum 'n bass mix. Can't decide whether to release it now or wait until the Theme Challenge is over. |

| You could release it to me.:) |

| I was on Beatport last year and it was there (searched melodic techno). I didn't realize it'd gone away, but I don't use Beatport a lot. |
