Spotify DJ takes personalization to the next level
Spotify’s DJ feature has long offered a listening experience that feels intimate, dynamic, and a touch magical. By blending insights from global editorial teams with AI-powered refinements, DJ helps you discover new tracks, rediscover favorites, and connect deeply with the music you love. With a new wave of enhancements, Spotify is making DJ even more responsive to how you want to listen, no matter where you are or what mood you’re in.
Music requests in Spanish unlock a wider listening universe
Starting today, Premium users can request music in Spanish. DJ Livi now accepts Spanish-language requests, letting millions of Spanish-speaking listeners curate their session in real time. Whether you’re craving “clásicos de reggaetón de los 2000” or “canciones tranqui para desconectarte,” DJ can tailor a vibe that fits the moment. This expansion opens up a broader range of moods and genres, enabling a more natural, conversational way to guide the soundtrack of your day.
Why Spanish requests matter
Language is a powerful connector in music discovery. By supporting Spanish requests, Spotify lowers barriers to expression and helps fans articulate precise moods, tempos, and genres. The result is a more intuitive, culturally resonant listening experience that makes playlists feel less like radio and more like a personal DJ session—one that understands your linguistic and musical preferences in real time.
Text requests: type your prompt, keep the flow going
In addition to voice interactions, Spotify DJ now supports text-based requests in English and Spanish. This addition responds to popular demand from fans who want a hands-free-free or quiet-space option for guiding their sessions. Whether you’re commuting, studying, or relaxing in a shared space, typing your prompt keeps your listening flow steady while still delivering the personalized cues DJ is known for.
Three personalized prompt suggestions to kickstart your session
To help you get rolling quickly, DJ now presents three ready-made prompt ideas designed to spark your next listening wave. Examples include “reggaeton beats for an energetic afternoon,” “calming acoustic playlist for focus,” and “refreshing surf rock for a midday break.” These prompts offer a friendly jump start, reducing setup time and getting you into a tailored sonic space with minimal effort.
How to request music with DJ
The enhancements are rolling out in English and Spanish across Premium plans in more than 60 markets. Here’s how to get started:
- Open Spotify and search for “DJ.”
- Press Play to receive a curated mix of music and commentary tailored to you.
- Switch the vibe by tapping the DJ button in the bottom-right corner and submitting your request via voice or text.
DJ can handle a mix of requests, including genres, moods, artists, or activities. Try suggestions like “cozy folk for fall,” “spooky tunes for a Halloween party,” or “workout anthems with a high-energy beat.” Since DJ requests launched, fans have explored everything from chill vibes to high-intensity playlists, with country, hip-hop, and rock among the most popular genres.
What these features mean for your listening experience
Spotify’s latest enhancements emphasize user agency, giving listeners more ways to shape each session. Spanish-language requests, text prompts, and curated suggestions collectively create a more fluid, responsive, and inclusive listening environment. The result is a DJ experience that adapts to your language, your space, and your moment—delivering a more personalised soundtrack that feels like it was crafted just for you.
Looking ahead
As DJ continues to evolve with AI and editorial insights, the focus remains clear: empower listeners to connect with music on a deeply personal level. The addition of Spanish requests, text submissions, and easy prompt ideas is a natural step toward a more versatile and accessible listening journey for Premium users around the world.
