djing with spotify is one of the hottest topics of the last few years.
But despite some software efforts there doesn’t seem much of a development going on over the last few years
In this video I’ll dive into the world of spotify for DJ’s and is there a way of using it with the CDJ 2000 NXS

my name is dexxter clark and I do reviews, vlogs and tutorials about djing and producing.
If you like the content consider supporting the channel, a link you can find in the description below.


[2A]
Yes you can run an AUX cable into your mixer with your phone or laptop connected.
But that is not the real dj experience, is it.
You miss a lot of features like seeing the key of a song or speeding up or slowing down.

[3]
There is DJ software out there that supports DJing with spotify.
How cool would it be to have the full spotify library at your disposal when you are spinning in a club?
That you could select on the [CDJ show menu]
Search for a song, download it and bam play it with pitch control and the whole shabam.

[4]
why isn’t it available already
Is it because of technical difficulties?
I can’t imagine. The CDJ 2000 nxs2 are pretty powerful machines.
But doesn’t Pioneer know we want Spotify?
I can’t imagine. This is wanted since day 1 spotify came out?

[5]
Ok, Denon than.
Those standalone players are even more powerful than the CDJs.
But, also not Denon, and any other non-industry standard brand.
You would think that someone would make a device that could make a dj player that could handle that.
But there are some software alternatives out there for dj controllers.
So, what’s the deal here?

[6]
But is it even legal to play Spotify songs?
The venue has to pay the royalties so technically it is possible.
So the DJ has no obligations.
BUT… the terms of serice of spotify prohibit it.

So, what I read between the lines is that someone wants to drive a bigger car.
Well it’s not the producer. [CAR]

[7A]
But I still don’t get it
They venue pays money to music rights organisations.
Downloading music of of youtube is just as illegal as spinning with spotify, even when a play on spotify brings money in the pocket of a producer
it has another advantage. They can exacly track what track is played and who deserves to get money for that.
That is less administration for the dj. and the producers get the money they deserve.
It seems to be a win/win in my book.

[8]
Okay, so money is the problem.
Make a spotify license for DJs! Problem solved!
You pay 30,- a month for high quality songs.
That could NOT be the problem, since DJ pools exist with unlimited downloads.
There can’t be a problem.
But still … it is still not here.
Beatport tried it a few years back and it failed.
