How to Mix with Spotify on Djay Pro [Latest]

Algoriddim released a big update to the djay app on 30 January 2020, getting integrated with both Tidal and SoundCloud for cross-platform use on its mobile and desktop clients. And 2 months later, Algoriddim announced the end of a 6-year-partnership with Spotify, declaring djay Pro Spotify integration will expire on July 1, 2020.

As for the reason why Spotify stops the cooperation with the djay app, the only partner in the DJ industry, a guess might be that Spotify is planning to add a built-in DJ feature to its app. Whether the conjecture will come true or not, what Spotify decided actually disappoints many DJs and gives them a bad experience to use the djay app in the next few months.

To help you toss all those bad feelings out and get back on track, in this article, I would like to share my latest findings on how to mix with Spotify on djay Pro, which is practical and workable forever.
