![]() I prefer to pick and choose what goes into my collection so that I can get to know the tracks and know their quality. Not because I don’t trust them (especially if they have offline use), but more because I only buy a dozen or so tracks a month. It’s mind-blowing, really, just how spoilt we are.įor myself, I’m genuinely not that bothered (yet) about using a streaming service. I always tell people to imagine going back in time to their 1990s self and telling them that in the future they can pay £20 a month to access all the music they can dream of it would be dismissed as crazy talk. Really, even with the extremely poor exchange rate maths, a monthly twenty quid for access to a huge library of music is a bargain. It’s something Mark and I mentioned in the past while we were sat in the studio together. Speaking of Spotify: I feel like it’s inevitable that they’ll start offering a ‘Pro DJ’ account tier around the same price level as Pulselocker. Usually, there’s a jostle by a bunch of services before a few become accepted, like Spotify and Google Music did. That said, it’s an interesting (and swift) standardisation of platform for DJ streaming libraries. It feels like Serato can’t catch a break against the hulking monster that is Pioneer DJ. I’m not sure how Serato will feel about this after the fanfare at ADE 2015 about their hookup with the service. Find out more about rekordbox and Pulselocker. rekordbox dj support will be available from spring 2016. Pulselocker is currently available in the UK, USA & Canada. Having Pulselocker’s vast catalogue of music integrated directly into rekordbox is an exciting proposition for Pioneer DJs everywhere,” says Ben Harris, Pulselocker’s chief executive officer. “We are very pleased to be announcing this partnership between Pulselocker and Pioneer DJ. “We’re excited to partner with Pulselocker and give DJs a new way to access the music they love.” “Since we launched the rekordbox dj Plus Pack in October, DJs have told us they’d like it to include support for streaming services like Pulselocker,” says Yoshiaki Ide, Pioneer DJ’s chief executive officer. The move gives users of the rekordbox dj Plus Pack freedom to perform with the streaming service’s 44 million tracks, from 500,000 record labels, simply by connecting the performance software to their Pulselocker account. Pioneer DJ and Pulselocker are partnering to let DJs stream tracks from their Pulselocker accounts directly into rekordbox dj performance software. If Beatport and Pulselocker get something better please include that also.Pioneer DJ have nabbed yet more NAMM headlines again with this bit of news: after Serato announcing they’re hooking up with Pulselocker late last year, those sly minxes have gone and done the same with rekordbox! This won’t happen until later in the year, but at $/£20, that’s not too bad if you positively need that many tracks. Pioneer, please include Spotify in future versions of Rekordbox. What better way than to let them tell me their musical desires through a cloud service during an event (but hopefully prior so I can prepare). Hearing the voice of the audience is part of being a music performer. I also ask my audience to create playlists on Spotify prior to an event to help me understand my audience better. I also feel that Rekordbox sounds better even with the same files.ĭJay Pro is a suitable solution for these types of events. I struggle with the layout of the software and with the notchy feel of the controllers though, and wish it was more geared towards professionals rather than hobbyists. When they do, I will buy a Denon setup.Īlgoriddim streaming Spotify is perfect for those tough venues which (as a DJ) tend to become request-heavy because of people thinking they have a better idea of what sounds good at an event. If Denon and Spotify join forces, then Pioneer you guys are in trouble. ![]() ![]() The more popular Denon seems to become the more likely the Engine software will need to adapt to a streaming platform. So as of April 15th 2018 it seems imminent that there will be some combination of Beatport and Pulselocker - with or without Spotify.ĭenon has yet to weigh in on the whole streaming license concept. It is first rate and I love it.Īccording to DJ magazine website Beatport purchased the remaining resources of Pulselocker from whomever was selling after the Spotify thing. Pioneer I am grateful for a robust product lineup and every time I DJ i feel amazing after using your equipment.
