Spotify DJ expands language, text input, and personalization for Premium listeners
Music listeners crave a listening experience that feels personal, dynamic, and a touch magical. Spotify has long aimed to deliver that sense of connection through its DJ feature, a tool that blends music discovery with insightful commentary. Now, Spotify is leveling up DJ by introducing three new capabilities for Premium users: music requests in Spanish, text-based requests, and three tailored prompt suggestions to kickstart any session. These updates are designed to give listeners even more control over their soundtracks, whether they are greeting the day, winding down at night, or chasing a particular vibe.
Music requests in Spanish open up new vibes
Beginning today, DJ Livi can accept music requests in Spanish. This broadens the listening canvas for millions of Spanish-speaking users, letting them curate the vibe in real time. Whether you want clásicos de reggaetón de los 2000 or canciones tranqui para desconectarte, you can now ask DJ for tracks that fit your mood and moment, en español. The feature reflects Spotify’s commitment to inclusivity and to delivering music that resonates with diverse audiences across markets.
Text requests: a quiet, hands-on way to guide the mix
In addition to voice commands, you can now type your music requests in English or Spanish. This option responds to everyday listening contexts—commuting, working, or relaxing in a quiet space—where speaking aloud may not be ideal. Text requests ensure you still receive a curated mix and commentary tuned to your preferences without needing to speak aloud. It’s another practical way to shape the session while staying in your preferred environment.
Three personalized prompt suggestions to spark exploration
When you’re unsure of what to ask for, DJ now offers three prompt suggestions to kickstart your session. Examples include prompts like “reggaeton beats for an energetic afternoon” and “refreshing surf rock for a midday break”. These prompts are designed to be quick, inspiring, and easy to drop into a request, helping you flood your listening session with the right energy and genre mix from the start.
How to request music with DJ: a quick guide
The new features are rolling out in English and Spanish to Premium users across more than 60 markets. Here’s how to get started:
– Open Spotify and search for DJ.
– Press play to hear a curated mix of music and commentary tailored to you.
– Tap the DJ button in the bottom-right corner to switch vibes and submit your request via voice or text.
What you can request and how it fits your day
DJ has always been about more than a passive listening session. It’s designed to adapt to your activities and moods—workout playlists, chill vibes, or thematic party sets. Since the initial launch of DJ requests, listeners have asked for everything from workout beats to moody, ambient tracks, with country, hip-hop, and rock being consistently popular. The latest enhancements intensify that personalization, letting listeners shape a session as intimately as a conversation with a friend or a DJ partner who understands their tastes.
Why these features matter for the listening experience
Music discovery benefits from the synergy between AI-assisted curation and human preferences. By introducing Spanish language support, typed requests, and ready-made prompts, Spotify empowers users to guide the DJ’s selections with more precision and comfort. The result is a more satisfying, individualized experience that keeps listeners engaged, makes mood transitions smoother, and reinforces Spotify’s role as a trusted companion for every moment of the day.
