The Oxydz beat catalogue is online. You can now listen, compare and buy a beat directly on oxydz.com, with no account to create.
More than 600 beats under a standard licence, more than 130 as exclusives. Here is what the catalogue lets you do, how to choose between the two options, and what changes in January 2027 for purchases on BeatStars.
Where to buy a beat from Oxydz now
There are two addresses, one for each type of licence.
The non-exclusive beat catalogue brings together the beats published on the channel. The exclusive beat catalogue gathers the ones that can belong to a single artist.
Until now, finding a beat meant digging through YouTube, with the risk of the next video taking you to someone else’s channel. Now everything happens on one page: you listen, you choose, you pay.
What you can do in the catalogue
Both catalogues work the same way.
- Listen without changing page. Every beat has a 90-second preview. The player stays at the bottom of the screen while you browse the list, on a computer as well as on a phone.
- Search for a title, if you already have a beat in mind.
- Filter by style: boom bap, old school, trap, or by mood (chill, dark, melancholic and more).
- Filter by tempo, from under 80 BPM to 100 BPM and up.
- Sort by date, tempo or title.
- Spot what’s new thanks to the NEW badge on recent releases.
- Set several beats aside with the « Add » button, up to 30. Your selection stays saved in your browser if you come back later, and the price per beat goes down when you take several.
- Pay in one step, by card, with no account to create. Your artist name is requested at that point, because it appears on the contract.
The catalogue is also available in French and Spanish.
Licence or exclusive: what to pick when you buy a beat
The question comes up all the time, especially when an artist is about to release a first project, and the answer depends mostly on what you plan to do with the song.
The non-exclusive licence
This is the right to use the beat for one song, for ten years, renewable. You receive the MP3, the WAV and the track stems (each instrument as a separate file). Streams and downloads are unlimited, physical sales too, and you can perform the song on stage, paid concerts included. For video, the limit is 5 minutes.
Its appeal is simple: releasing a song properly, with a contract in your name, on an independent artist’s budget. The trade-off is that another rapper can take a licence on the same beat. For a mixtape track, a freestyle or a first EP, that is rarely a problem, and it keeps your costs down.
The full list of rights is on the licence information page.
The exclusive
Here, the beat is removed from sale for ten years: nobody else can use it during that period. You can make as many songs on it as you want, use it for sync (film, series, advertising) and register your songs with Content ID, the YouTube system that detects your tracks and lets you collect the revenue they generate.
Consider it when a song really matters: the single you are putting your promo budget behind, or a beat meant to become your signature. After ten years, the exclusive can be renewed by mutual agreement. Without renewal, your songs already released keep being exploited, and only the creation of new songs on the beat stops.
Why two catalogues? Because beats published on YouTube are never sold as exclusives. You will find the rest on the exclusive information page.
These terms are those of Oxydz contracts. From one producer to another they can be very different, so always read the contract before you pay.
Buy a beat on BeatStars: ending in January 2027
Purchases of Oxydz beats through BeatStars will no longer be supported from January 2027. The idea is to bring everything together on the site: listening, buying and receiving your contract in the same place. Until then, you can already use the catalogue.
If you bought a licence on BeatStars, nothing changes for you: it remains valid. For any question about it, use the contact page.
If you had your eye on a beat over there, search for its title in the catalogue to see whether it is listed.
Five checks before you buy a beat
Rap over it. A 90-second preview is enough to know whether your voice finds its place. Loop the beat and lay down a verse you know by heart, it tells you more than passive listening.
Count your songs. A non-exclusive licence covers one song. Two tracks on the same beat means two licences. If you are preparing a whole project, the selection lets you group all the beats in a single order.
Get your artist name right. It appears on the contract, so write it exactly as it will appear on your releases.
Plan the credit. With the non-exclusive licence, the song must carry the mention « Produced by Oxydz ».
Think about Sacem. When a song released under a non-exclusive licence is registered with Sacem, the French collecting society, you are listed as author at 50% and Oxydz as composer at 50%. Better to know that before the release than to discover it while filling in the registration.
Once you have your licence, keep the contract with your files. A distributor may ask you to prove your rights, and it is also the document to bring out if a platform blocks your video.
Oxydz has been making boom bap for more than 25 years. A label producer for Sniper, Ärsenik, Fonky Family and Les Sages Poètes de la Rue, he has worked independently since 2010, with Furax, Scylla, Swift Guad and Jedi Mind Tricks. Today he reviews tracks by independent rappers live on Le Live du Lab. His beats are on his YouTube channel.
