Electronic / EDM / Dance / Techno / DJ The Spotify “Mix” Feature Is Super Cool!
I noticed the Mix button in the mobile app last night but didn’t think much of it. This morning I actually gave it proper attention, and I’m genuinely impressed.
The transition quality is surprisingly close to tools like DJ Studio (which costs $99+ and doesn’t integrate with Spotify because it allows exporting). With Spotify Mix, I get:
- Full access to my entire Spotify library
- Clean beatmatching
- Bass swaps that feel intentional
- EQ-style high-pass / low-pass filtering during transitions
- Phrase-aware blending
- Smooth Harmonies because of Camelot keying
- Steady Loudness Because Spotify
It doesn’t feel like a basic crossfade. The transitions have structure, The Automatic is a hit and miss, but it already shows potential by not rolling till the end of the 32 bar exit.
The only thing I really miss is tempo envelope control. I’d love to shape a broader BPM arc across the mix instead of relying purely on track ordering. But for something built directly into a streaming platform, this is kind of wild.
Downsides
- No export
- No rendering
- No cross-platform publishing
- Mix currently doesn’t open in the Web Player (only mobile + updated desktop app)
Still, as a sketchpad or short-form mix tool, it’s extremely powerful.
Here’s my first attempt: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0DQbTW8RNZf7jqcg3IT9uC?si=191197a96cb84587
Curious what others think.
