Spotify, the international streaming giant, has launched DJ requests, a new feature that lets users make real-time voice commands to its AI-powered DJ.
Why it matters
Spotify says DJ requests are a response to growing demand for more interactivity and personalization. Instead of passively listening to curated mixes, users can now shape what they hear in the moment — from mood-based vibes to artist-specific playlists.
How it works
- Go to the Search tab in the Spotify app and type “DJ”
- Tap play to launch the AI DJ
- Press and hold the DJ button (bottom right) until a beep
- Speak your request, like:
- “Play me chill tracks for a rainy afternoon”
- “Give me some K-pop with choreography vibes”
- “Surprise me with indie songs I’ve never heard”
If you’re not sure what you want, just tap the DJ button to skip to the next vibe. The feature is now available in over 60 markets worldwide.
The big picture
As audio platforms compete for attention, voice-driven experiences are becoming the next frontier.
Spotify’s move aligns with a broader shift away from static playlists toward dynamic, AI-driven engagement.
