Apple has announced DJ with Apple Music – an integrated experience with leading DJ software and hardware platforms that will make it easier for DJs to create and perform with Apple Music’s catalog of more than 100 million songs.
DJ with Apple Music offers an integrated experience with leading DJ software and hardware platforms AlphaTheta, Serato, and inMusic’s Engine DJ, Denon DJ, Numark, and RANE DJ. It lets Apple Music subscribers build and mix sets directly from Apple Music’s catalog, building on the first integration with Algoriddim‘s djay Pro software.
“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.”
Beginning today, users can also access a new dedicated DJ with Apple Music category page, spotlighting a series of DJ-friendly editorial playlists, along with new curator pages for each DJ software and hardware platform showcasing any mixes or sample playlists that can be used to practice.
Pricing and Availability:
DJ with Apple Music is available now via Apple Music. The first month of service is free, and costs $10.99/month.
Great for wedding DJs not much else.
Here we go again, Apple’s continued quest to devalue music. Applause. :/
Interesting that NI’s Traktor either hasn’t jumped on board or been invited to participate.
