AlphaTheta’s rekordbox DJ software now supports playback from Spotify, allowing Premium Spotify subscribers to utilise its library of over 100 million tracks within their mixes.

Spotify’s music catalogue and playlists can be accessed directly from rekordbox, and then mixed with tracks from your rekordbox music library. Spotify’s tracks can be played on all compatible DJ equipment when using Performance mode in rekordbox for Mac/Windows, including any AlphaTheta or Pioneer DJ setup.

The integration is now available as of 24 September in a vast range of countries and regions, including: the USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Portugal, Finland, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Greece, Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and more.

This news arrives just after the launch of AlphaTheta’s next-generation flagship DJ player, the CDJ-3000X. Described as an evolution of the CDJ-3000 – which landed in 2020 under Pioneer DJ (which is part of the AlphaTheta Corporation) – the player brings new features and upgrades including improved online music access, updated connectivity, and multiple hardware improvements.

A software version of the player is also coming to virtual reality thanks to a collaboration with Tribe XR. As part of the partnership, AlphaTheta is bringing the CDJ-3000X and its DJM-A9 professional mixer to virtual reality setups, including Meta Quest and Steam VR, and says they are “authentic 1-to-1 recreations”. These virtual versions are also accompanied by interactive lessons and real-time guidance from AI mentor, DJ Beatbot.

“Our partnership with Tribe XR builds on AlphaTheta’s ‘One Through Music’ mission, enabling DJs everywhere to discover, connect, and perform with a global community through our innovative products in new and inspiring ways,” comments Yoshinori Kataoka, CEO of AlphaTheta.
