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.


đŸŽ” “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.


âŹ‡ïž 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

Snoop Dogg Buys Death Row Records

In 1993, Snoop Dogg dropped his debut album Doggystyle on Death Row Records. Nearly 30 years later, the iconic West Coast rapper and entrepreneur has bought the label, which had been owned by MNRK Music Group (formerly eOne Music).

Co-founded by Suge Knight and Dr. Dre in the early ’90s, Death Row has been home to iconic hip-hop artists like 2Pac, Dre, and Snoop.

Snoop said in a statement:

“I am thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value 
 It feels good to have ownership of the label I was part of at the beginning of my career and as one of the founding members. This is an extremely meaningful moment for me.”

In 2021, Beatsource teamed up with Death Row and JetPack to design a limited edition DJ bag in celebration of the label’s 30th anniversary. Watch the unboxing video below and order the bag here.
