Spotify creates track IDs for DJ playlists co-curated between Spotify’s editorial team and DJs to provide the track IDs for their sets. Spotify has also created a new suite of playlists, all with track IDs which will take the guesswork out of identifying the tracks in dance and electronic music sets. Each playlist will also include original tracks from the DJ. In addition to allowing DJs to connect with fans in an entirely new way, these playlists will help listeners discover songs they’ve previously heard live and want to find on Spotify.
Berlin-based DJ Dixon, explained “It’s no secret the tracks I play are usually unreleased from whichever sounds I’m into at the time. Right now with the usual game on hold, this playlist feels quite personal. Of course there are the floor fillers in there, some from prior to lockdown, some that never have been tested on a dance floor. But I’m more curious to gauge the listeners’ response to the underdogs.”
These playlists, which will be refreshed on a weekly basis, are co-curated by some of the world’s leading DJs, including MK, Aluna, Black Coffee, and Jayda G. With dance and electronic spanning a wide range of styles and subgenres, these playlists allow fans to listen to music for every bpm, from house and techno to electronica and chill.
