'Algoriddim has officially partnered with Spotify to give users seamless access to the streaming service from within our apps, with the ability to mix multiple tracks at the same time and the functionality you’d expect from modern DJ software. This integration is official and available to all Spotify Premium subscribers. In a statement on its website, Algoriddim says: “Back in 2014, we introduced streaming integration to the djay community, a feature that has had a profound impact on DJing as a whole. Today, streaming has become an integral part of almost every DJ product with new streaming service providers innovating the space for aspiring and professional. Djay Pro is the world's #1 DJ software with Spotify integration. It provides a complete toolkit for performing DJs of all skill levels. Built specifically for Windows 10, djay Pro seamlessly.
DJing is no longer about two turntables and a fader -- laptops and tablets are essential tools of the trade. Apps like djay help performers beat-match, remix songs and trigger samples, and have the added convenience of cloud-based library integration. However, Spotify -- one of the most popular streaming services -- is pulling support for all third-party DJ apps. It's not clear why the company is longer allowing access to its immense library of music, but Engadget has reached out to hopefully learn more.
Algoriddim removed mention of Spotify from its website in January, and also announced support for Tidal and Soundcloud. This led to apparently accurate speculation that Spotify support was coming to an end. Algoriddim said in a statement that Spotify will no longer work with third party DJ apps as of July 1st. The company has added prominent guides to its website that walk users through a library migration from Spotify to Tidal or Soundcloud, so hopefully the transition is an easy one for DJs. Whether or not they will have access to the tunes they're used to playing is another matter, though.

Due to the ubiquity of Spotify -- and its massive library -- its loss could be a major one for DJs. It seems like an odd decision on the company's part, but developers such as Algoriddim are taking the right measures to make sure DJs can keep using their apps.
