The integrated experience enables Apple Music subscribers to build and mix sets directly from Apple Music’s catalog.
Today (Tuesday, March 25), Apple has unveiled DJ with Apple Music, an innovative integration that allows DJs to mix and create sets directly from Apple Music’s vast catalog of over 100 million songs. The new feature is now available across major DJ software and hardware platforms, including AlphaTheta, Serato, inMusic’s Engine DJ, Denon DJ, Numark, and RANE DJ.
“We are thrilled to bring this integration with Apple Music to DJs around the world and in their creative process,” said Yoshinori Kataoka, President and CEO of AlphaTheta. “This marks a significant step forward in making DJ’ing more accessible, and we couldn’t be more excited about the possibilities it opens up.”
It also builds on Apple’s previous partnership with Algoriddim’s djay Pro software, ensuring that DJs of all levels can seamlessly access their favorite tracks and refine their performances with ease. By bridging Apple Music with professional DJ tools, Apple is providing an intuitive experience for DJs to rehearse, experiment, and craft their unique sound without limitations.
“The integration of djay with Apple Music across mobile, desktop, and spatial devices opens up a world of creative possibilities for both beginners and seasoned pros,” said Karim Morsy, CEO at Algoriddim. “With instant access to Apple Music’s catalog of over 100 million songs, DJs can mix anytime, anywhere – transforming the way they discover and play their favorite music. Whether using Automix for a seamless, hands-free experience or crafting their own unique sets with djay’s powerful mixing tools, this integration marks a major milestone in making DJing more accessible than ever.”
Alongside this launch, Apple Music is introducing a dedicated DJ category page, featuring curated editorial playlists designed specifically for mixing, as well as platform-specific pages showcasing mixes and sample playlists.
“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.”
This expansion continues Apple Music’s commitment to the DJ community, following the success of its DJ Mixes program, which since September 2021 has positioned Apple Music as the premier destination for high-quality DJ sets. With today’s announcement, Apple is reinforcing its role as a creative partner for DJs, offering them new ways to discover, organize, and integrate music into their live and recorded performances.
“At inMusic, our goal has always been to empower DJs with innovative tools that enhance creativity and performance,” said Morgan Donoghue, VP Marketing, DJ Brands at inMusic. “Integrating Apple Music into our Engine DJ platforms marks a major step forward, giving DJs instant access to a vast library of over 100 million tracks and expertly curated playlists to build and refine their sets with ease. This collaboration ensures DJs at every level can seamlessly discover, play, and integrate new music into their creative workflow.”
As part of the integration, Serato is also launching a new curator page on Apple Music, which will be home to a selection of artist playlists and DJ mixes by esteemed DJs including ZEEMUFFIN, DJ Miss Milan, Nick Cheo, DJ Puffy, Jasmine Solano and Kizzi, along with curated playlists for DJs to utilize in their sets.
“Teaming up with Apple Music is a milestone moment for Serato’s artist community,” said Young Ly, CEO at Serato. “We are excited to see established and new DJs alike combine their passion and creativity with access to one of the largest streaming catalogs in the world.”
