Apple Music is making it easier for DJs to mix and create music using its extensive catalogue. The company has announced new integrations with leading DJ software and hardware, allowing you to seamlessly build mix sets with millions of songs at your fingertips.
Apple Music expands DJ integration
Apple Music is now working with several professional DJ tools, including Algoriddim’s djay Pro software, as well as hardware platforms such as AlphaTheta, Serato, inMusic’s Engine DJ, Denon DJ, Numark, and RANE DJ. With these integrations, you can access Apple Music’s library of over 100 million songs, opening up more possibilities for creativity and performance.
This move is set to attract professional and aspiring DJs by providing access to a vast music catalogue directly from DJ software and hardware. It also allows beginners to experiment with mixing using industry-standard tools.
To support this update, Apple Music is introducing a dedicated ‘DJ with Apple Music’ category. This new page will feature curated playlists, DJ-friendly tracks, and highlights of software and hardware partners. Whether you’re looking for inspiration or need tracks for a live set, this section will help you discover the best content to mix and perform with.
A step forward for DJs
Apple Music had focused on the DJ community since 2021 when it first introduced streaming for DJ mix sets. Since then, thousands of DJ sets have been added to the platform. With this latest development, Apple is doubling its commitment to the DJ industry.
“Apple Music is committed to supporting DJs. 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,” said Stephen Campbell, Global Head of Dance, Electronic & DJ Mixes at Apple Music.
By bridging the gap between streaming and DJ software, Apple ensures its platform remains relevant in an era where digital music tools are becoming more powerful and widely used.
The future of streaming and DJ tools
Apple is not the only company investing in tools for DJs and music creators. Other music streaming services are exploring new ways to enhance remixing and production. Earlier this year, SoundCloud announced integrations with six tools for editing, remixing, and creating custom samples. Additionally, reports from the Wall Street Journal last year suggested that Spotify is considering offering remixing tools and subscription plans tailored to creators.
Meanwhile, startups like Hook, backed by Point72 Ventures, are developing platforms that enable legal remixing through dedicated apps, creating new opportunities for artists and DJs.
With Apple Music’s latest integration, DJs now have a more seamless way to access music and create unique mixes. As streaming services continue to evolve, the future of digital music creation looks more promising than ever.
