SoundCloud has rolled out its first DJ performance software integration with Serato.
The move, announced in a blog post on Wednesday (December 12), follows the announcement in October that the platform had partnered with six DJ software companies, including Native Instruments, Serato, Virtual DJ, DEX3, Mixvibes and Hercules.
According to SoundCloud, the launch marks the first time DJs will have ‘immediate access’ to SoundCloud streaming catalog directly through professional DJ software.
The integration enables SoundCloud users to stream and mix its catalog using a SoundCloud Go+ premium subscription with Serato DJ Pro 2.1 or DJ Lite 1.1.
“Today’s launch is the first time DJs can mix and stream SoundCloud’s massive catalog directly in professional-level DJ software.”
