The label was temporarily closed down in late 2010, though its name was still mentioned in live events; in early 2012, a note on the website mentioned that new artists would have been recruited throughout the [[SOUND VOLTEX Information|SOUND VOLTEX]] FLOOR contests. This eventually happened at the ''JAEPO 2014'' event; other than the label being revived, a new group was formed, consisting of experienced artists who extensively participated in the SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR contests and as well as new artists that have been regularly appearing in other BEMANI games. Currently, this newly founded beatnation group has not been named yet.

In June 30th, 2006, beatnation records started out with [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]], [[Yoshitaka Nishimura|DJ YOSHITAKA]], [[Toshiyuki Kakuta|L.E.D.]] and [[Tatsuya Shimizu|Tatsh]]. However, Tatsh, who was an in-house composer at the time, quickly left the label due to the same reasons behind his disappearance after [[AC DistorteD|beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD]]. He would only return many years later in [[AC Resort Anthem|beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem]] but only as a commissioned artist and not as part of the beatnation records label.
