Apple Music now lets DJs create mixes from its catalog
Apple Music now integrates with leading DJ software and hardware platforms and lets DJs build and mix sets from directly inside Apple Music
Mix it up with Apple Music
It’s like iPod DJ mixing at a completely different level and means that if you use Alpha Theta, Serato, Denon DJ, Numark, RANE DJ, inMusic’s Engine DJ, or Algoriddim’s aware-winning djay Pro software or hardware you can combine this Apple Music support to create sets for playback using these,
The move builds on Apple’s existing DJ Mixes scheme, and follows the introduction of Apple Music Club, a live global radio station full of mixes. Apple now offers a dedicated DJ with Apple Music category page, offering DJ-friendly editorial playlists, along with new curator pages for each DJ software and hardware platform.
What Apple said
“Apple Music is committed to supporting DJs,” says Stephen Campbell, Global Head of Dance, Electronic & DJ Mixes at Apple Music. “With this latest integration, we’re taking that commitment even further – seamlessly connecting Apple Music with the industry’s leading DJ software and hardware. This innovation brings the full power of Apple Music into the creative workflow, making it easier than ever for DJs to access, play, and discover music in real time.
“Today’s launch aims to expand on that relationship by encouraging DJs to use this integrated experience as a creative tool, allowing them to access and find inspiration in their libraries more easily,” concluded the statement.
What Algoriddim said
