SoundCloud launches DJ Plan gives unlimited offline access to SoundCloud’s catalogue of open-format hip-hop and electronic hits, remixes and deep cuts through select DJ applications. The streamer introduced its first DJ integration at the Amsterdam Dance Event in October 2018. Continuous access to WiFi is not required as you can save unlimited tracks locally in select DJ apps so you’re ready to spin wherever inspiration strikes.
SoundCloud DJ can be used with Virtual DJ today with Cross DJ and Denon DJ being added in the coming months. The plan will be rolled out to existing and new partners ‘soon’. The SoundCloud DJ plan is $19.99 which is half the cost of other competitor offerings.
SoundCloud’s mission is to build a DJ toolkit for the next generation as DJs are one of the largest and most foundational communities on its platform. This year, it launched in-app track data so you can identify music by key and tempo (available via Virtual DJ and Algoriddim with more partners to be announced). Curated playlists are scheduled to be introduced in the coming months.
With a SoundCloud Go+ subscription you can mix SoundCloud tracks with Serato DJ Lite and DJ Pro, Pioneer DJ’s rekordbox and WeDJ, Algoriddim djay and djay Pro, Native Instruments’ Traktor DJ 2, Virtual DJ, edjing Mix and Pro, Denon DJ PRIME Series, Mixvibes Cross DJ and DEX 3. The company stated that it will be working to integrate more of these partners with SoundCloud DJ on an ongoing basis.
