DJs will now gain access to Apple Music\u2019s extensive catalogue across popular DJ software and hardware.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple Music brings DJ integration to leading platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apple has announced its extensive Apple Music<\/a> catalogue of over 100 million songs is now integrated directly within popular DJ software and hardware. This integration significantly expands accessibility for DJs, enabling them to mix and create sets using Apple Music\u2019s vast library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously<\/a>, Apple Music integration was available exclusively on Algoriddim\u2019s djay<\/a> Pro software. Now, the expansion brings support for more industry-leading platforms, including AlphaTheta, Serato, inMusic\u2019s Engine DJ, Denon DJ, Numark, and Rane DJ. With this integration, DJs at all levels can now experiment, mix, and perform using Apple Music\u2019s catalogue within their preferred DJ tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Music has also introduced a dedicated \u201cDJ with Apple Music<\/a>\u201d category page that features DJ-friendly playlists and editor content, alongside curator pages for each partner platform- helping users discover new music and find inspiration for their sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apple Music\u2019s catalogue is integrated directly within supported software and hardware platforms. Apple Music subscribers can instantly access and mix tracks within their DJing apps, making it easier to access an extensive catalogue of tracks. For example, rekordbox<\/a> users can now mix tracks straight from Apple Music\u2019s catalog while leveraging professional tools within the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApple Music is committed to supporting DJs. With this latest integration, we\u2019re taking that commitment even further – seamlessly connecting with Apple Music with the industry\u2019s leading DJ software and hardware.<\/strong> 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.\u201d<\/a><\/p>Stephen Campbell, Global Head of Dance, Electronic & DJ Mixes at Apple Music<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What this means for the industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For DJs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The direct integration of Apple Music into DJ software \u201copens up a world of creative possibilities for both beginners and seasoned pros\u201d. With instant access to an extensive song library, DJs can experiment with fresh sounds, build unique sets, and explore new genres without the constraints of limited track availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith instant access to Apple Music\u2019s catalogue of over 100 million songs, DJs can mix anytime, anywhere\u2026 Whether using Automix for a seamless, hands-free experience or crafting their unique sets with djay\u2019s powerful mixing tools, this integration marks a major milestone in making DJing more accessible than ever<\/strong>.\u201d<\/a><\/p>Karim Morsy, CEO at Algoriddim<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For Apple Music<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This update comes at a time when competitors like SoundCloud and Spotify are exploring remixing and production tools. SoundCloud announced six integrated tools<\/a> for editing, remixing and custom sample creation in 2024, and rumours suggest Spotify\u2019s upcoming premium \u201cMusic Pro<\/a>\u201d subscription tier will feature AI-powered remixing tools. However, with Apple Music offering these capabilities at no additional cost, it could make Apple Music a more attractive choice for DJs looking for mixing features from their streaming platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to see established and new DJs alike combine their passion and creativity with access to one of the largest streaming catalogues in the world.\u201d<\/a><\/p>Young Ly, CEO at Serato<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
