LA-based global music platform, Gemtracks, currently known for their beat marketplace that has been used by multiple celebrities and indie artists, is having an upgrade to let sellers sell producer loops and samples too via a subscription-based model.

About Gemtracks

Gemtracks was founded in 2017 by DJ Jesse Neo and Milana Leybovich after having worked for several music companies and labels, including Disney, FOX, and Spinnin’ Records. Seeing the uptick in independent artists and the ease of getting music onto streaming platforms, Gemtracks was created.

Besides being a paid platform, all users have access to free music downloads, as well as a database where one can find songs based on topics out of the millions of songs released worldwide.

As Gemtracks slowly dipped its toes into the social networking side as well, users can follow, message, and collaborate with other members on new songs.

Since its release, Gemtracks has been mentioned in several international publications, including Business Insider, Variety, HuffPost, The Jerusalem Post, and The Daily Caller. 

Changing Target Audience

Gemtracks has been gradually shifting its target audience to producers in need of exclusive audio files and assets that can still give their songs that original fling, without sounding too similar to other countless tracks that have used the identical royalty-free tracks downloaded on several free websites.

Insiders to the website discovered that sellers can now upload packs of downloadable audio loops onto their profiles, which are commonly found in all pop songs. This is in addition to the new feature added a few months ago where sellers can charge subscribers to download exclusive content such as personalized instrumentals and lyrics.

Sellers can expect to earn up to $200 per subscriber. With enough interests, sales from selling subscription-based audio files can easily outgrow and be more profitable than selling audio packs as individual sales. Payments are paid out 14 days after the sales date.

“Due to changes in the market, we discovered a lot of our customers are actually bedroom music producers,” a representative from Gemtracks told us via email. “This is in deep contrast with our original customers who were mainly artists looking for original backing tracks to sing to in their songs.”

“To put it in simple terms, we want to provide exclusive and limited-edition loops and samples, as well as beats, that producers and singers can use in their songs,” the representative continued.

The Future of Gemtracks

In a press released by the music company, Gemtracks stated they will continue building its community to support indie singers and producers. As well as that, Gemtracks also has a vision to allow all musicians to become entrepreneurs and help get their music out there.

This can either be through offering a service to promote and pitch songs to playlists, or offering the tools to sell and market songs on personal websites and social media channels.

In the meantime, Gemtracks is getting more than 1 million visitors each month with more than 20,000 members already registered, from around the world.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Roars Into Box Office Success

Jurassic World Rebirth, the latest installment in the dinosaur saga, has stomped its way to box office glory. Directed by Gareth Edwards and co-written by Jurassic Park veteran David Koepp, the film premiered on June 17 in London and hit U.S. theaters on July 2. It has already grossed over $334 million globally against a reported budget of $180 million.

This fresh reboot stars Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali in leading roles, supported by Jonathan Bailey, Ed Skrein, and Rupert Friend. The film shifts slightly from the earlier World trilogy tone, leaning into sci-fi thrills and a suspenseful, character-driven story.

Critics have been split. While some praise the visual effects and performances, others say it doesn’t quite recapture the awe of Spielberg’s original. Still, many fans agree that Rebirth is a major improvement over the previous film, Dominion, and a step in the right direction for the franchise.

With its strong performance, Universal is now reportedly developing spin-offs and planning to expand the Jurassic universe further. After ten films and over three decades of dino-dominance, it seems audiences still aren’t done with the thrill of prehistoric adventure.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Rolls Out Star‑Studded Cast

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially underway, and the cast lineup is as iconic as fans hoped. Meryl Streep returns as the icy editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly, joined once again by Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci — reprising their roles nearly two decades after the 2006 original became a cultural classic.

But the sequel isn’t just about the old guard. It’s adding new faces to the high-fashion chaos, including Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, B.J. Novak, Pauline Chalamet, and Bridgerton star Simone Ashley. Acclaimed actor and director Kenneth Branagh will also appear as Miranda’s husband — a character that’s expected to shake up the dynamics at Runway Magazine.

Plot details are still under wraps, but the film is scheduled to release on May 1, 2026. It’s expected to explore the evolving world of fashion media while diving deeper into Miranda’s personal life and Andy Sachs’ next chapter. Notably missing is Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s boyfriend Nate in the original. Sources say his character won’t return for the sequel.

With a mix of nostalgia and fresh energy, The Devil Wears Prada 2 promises to deliver sharp dialogue, high fashion, and the kind of dramatic flair only Miranda Priestly can serve.
