Beginning today, Spotify’s DJ is now taking music requests in English, giving Premium users in more than 60 markets an entirely new way to curate the vibe of their listening sessions in real-time.
Listeners asked for more ways to interact with DJ and enjoy more control over their listening sessions – and now you can! By simply using your voice, you can now ask DJ to update your personalized listening session based on the music you want to hear at that moment. Whether you’re looking for a specific artist, genre, mood, or need the perfect soundtrack for an activity.
Check out the video HERE and see below to learn how to make a music request:
-
Where to find it: Head to the search tab on Spotify and search ‘DJ’.
-
How it works: Press play and DJ will serve up a curated mix of music and commentary tailored to you. Whenever you want to change up the vibe, press and hold the DJ button in the right-hand corner. You’ll hear a beep when DJ is ready. Use your voice to ask for the kind of music you want to hear at that moment.
-
Want to mix things up? Hold the DJ button to switch up the vibe or make a new request – “more pop,” “surprise me with some indie tracks,” and more.
-
Pro tip: If you want to change the vibe but don’t have a specific request, you can skip to the next section with a quick tap of the DJ button.

Some fun requests we suggest trying out include:

“Play me some electronic beats for a midday run”

“Surprise me with some indie tracks I’ve never heard before”
-
“Play me some music to soundtrack my life as a movie”
-
“Play modern country songs for my cowboy era”

Serving up suggestions using AI and insights from our global editorial experts, DJ helps you uncover new tracks, rediscover old favorites, and connect deeply with the music you love.
