Beatsource Has Just Changed EVERYTHING | Explaining The DJ Exclusives Program
Beatsource recently launched its DJ Exclusives program, which has been 20 years in the making. It’s built around an entirely new, never been done licensing model, and means that DJs can access the types of remixes and edits which have previously only been found on record pools, but in a way which ensures both the original rights holders and the DJs themselves get fairly compensated for their work.
On the new episode of Beatsource Tech, Mojaxx explains what the DJ Exclusives program is, and how it all works.

DJcity Launches Massive Website Update to Level Up Your Music Discovery 🚀
Big news for DJs everywhere: DJcity just rolled out one of its biggest website updates ever – designed to make music discovery faster, easier, and more powerful than ever before. Whether you’re hunting for your next party anthem or building a deep set for a niche crowd, these updates are aimed squarely at helping DJs like you work smarter and find heat quicker.
Here’s a breakdown of the biggest changes now live on DJcity.com, and how they’ll supercharge your DJ workflow.
🔍 Smarter Search, Faster Results
The new search functionality is a game-changer. When you type in a keyword – say, “House” or “James Hype” – you’ll get comprehensive results that include:
– Tracks
– Genres
– Remixers
– Playlists
– Playlist descriptions
You can also filter tracks by relevance, BPM, or date added, and even toggle exact matches only. And for remix lovers, it’s now easier than ever to isolate songs by your favorite remixers or find the remixes of a specific track.
Pro tip: Searching an artist like “James Hype” now shows you everything he’s touched – whether he produced it, remixed it, or appears in a relevant playlist.
📂 Playlists Get a Major Makeover
DJcity’s curated playlists just became an even more powerful tool. The redesigned playlist hub gives you a sleek, scrollable grid layout with artwork that’s easier to browse, filter, and explore.
These aren’t algorithm-generated lists – they’re curated by DJs for DJs, so you can trust that each playlist reflects real-world club-tested selections.
New playlist types include:
– Peak Hour Sets (e.g., primetime Hip-Hop hits)
– Genre Spotlights for digging into new sounds
– Themes & Eras for mood-based selections
And here’s a slick new feature: new & updated markers on each playlist let you know when fresh tracks have been added since your last visit – so you’ll never miss a fire new drop.
🎵 “View Similar” & Track Deep Dives
Click the “more options” three-dot menu (⋯) next to any track to unlock a whole new layer of discovery. You’ll now be able to:
– View genre and related playlists
– Add to your preview queue
– See “View Similar” recommendations
– Jump straight into a full track page with:
– Curated tags
– Playlist placements
– Related and recommended downloads
It’s like having a personalized rabbit hole for finding more of what you love – without needing to dig endlessly.
🎧 Genre Navigation Redefined
DJcity hosts over 250+ genre tags – and now they’re even easier to explore. The updated Genre page introduces a clean matrix layout, allowing you to sort and search through genres visually and intuitively.
Just like the playlist updates, genres also now feature “new” & “updated” badges so you can instantly see which ones have been updated. If staying ahead of genre trends is important to you, this one’s huge.
⬇️ Streamlined Downloads
The download experience has also been improved. Click the “get song” down arrow menu (⬇) to:
-
Direct browser download – get the songs immediately on your computer
-
Add to crate – save your songs for later
-
Send to DJcity Desktop App – send the songs to a different computer for download
Whether you’re prepping on the go or building a set from your studio, this update saves clicks – and time.
💸 Limited-Time Offer: Join for Just $10 and Save $100 on Annual Plans
If you’re not a DJcity member yet, now’s the perfect time. For a limited time, new users can get access for just $10 – or better yet, lock in a full year of unlimited downloads and save $100.
No monthly fees. No hassle. One payment, and you’re set for the year.
Final Thoughts
This is more than just a facelift – it’s a full-on performance upgrade for DJs. From a revamped search engine to smarter playlists and lightning-fast downloads, every part of DJcity is now built to help you discover, organize, and deliver music with confidence.
Head to DJcity.com now to explore the updates, dig into some fresh playlists, and see why this is the best version of DJcity yet.
