SoundCloud is offering a new way for DJs to take their workflow to the next level by partnering with leading software companies to integrate SoundCloud’s one-of-a-kind music catalog into their leading DJ performance software. The partnerships with Native Instruments, Serato, Virtual DJ, DEX3, Mixvibes and DJuced/Hercules enable creators to stream and mix original tracks, DJ sets, mixes, beats and loops and more via SoundCloud Go+ subscription and their favorite DJ application.
