Bleep is the online record store founded by Warp Records in 2004, selling lossless downloads, vinyl and CDs from a hand picked catalog of independent music. Bleep availability at Unchained Music is part of Artist Services.
Bleep was launched by Warp Records in January 2004 as one of the first serious digital download stores, and it has kept the same identity ever since: a curated shop for independent music, strong in electronic and leftfield but not restricted to it, selling DRM free downloads in MP3, FLAC and WAV alongside vinyl, CDs, cassettes and merch, shipped worldwide. The catalog is chosen by people; Bleep stocks what its team rates and believes will sell, drawing from labels like Warp, Ninja Tune, Hyperdub, Planet Mu and Mute. For an artist, being stocked on Bleep is a signal as much as a sales channel, and its buyers are exactly the listeners who pay for lossless files. Bleep is a curated store without a self serve pipeline, and at Unchained Music it is available through Artist Services, where placement is handled as part of a release campaign.

Five questions, answered for this platform specifically.
Bleep is the online music store created by Warp Records in 2004, one of the first download stores to sell independent electronic music without copy protection. It operates as a curated retailer selling downloads, vinyl, CDs and cassettes worldwide, with a catalog picked by its editorial team.
Bleep is curated, so there is no upload form; the store stocks music it selects, arriving through labels and distributors it works with. At Unchained Music, Bleep placement is available for Artist Services clients, where it is pitched as part of a wider release and retail plan.
Downloads are DRM free and sold in MP3, FLAC and WAV, including high resolution options on many releases, alongside physical formats: vinyl, CD, cassette and merch. That lossless focused buyer base is one of the reasons a Bleep placement is worth pursuing for the right release.
No, but its roots show. Born from Warp, the store is strongest in electronic, experimental and leftfield music and stocks heavily from labels in that world, while carrying independent music of other kinds it believes in. If your record fits that sensibility, it is in good company there.
Yes. Bleep continues to sell downloads and physical music worldwide, and since 2019 it has run on Ochre, the retail platform that grew out of the store. It remains one of the most respected curated outlets for independent music.
