Dubset has announced that hundreds of its DJ mixes are now available on Apple Music, including three exclusive sets. Dubset mixes are treated as albums.
It follows a deal first struck with Apple back in 2016, though it took several months before single-track mixes made it to Apple Music. The company seems to be moving at a very slow pace, it took more than a year between submitting mixes and beginning the approval process. The first remix to hit Apple Music was Room in here from DJ Jazzy Jeff.
The definition of a ‘mix’ appears to be very loose, with the Aoki example really being a playlist with small cross-fades.
Dubset says that its goal was to allow fans to create and distribute mixes legally, while ensuring that artists were properly compensated.
Aoki said that it was great that the process was so simple.
Dubset says that its technology can cope even when there are as many as 100 different label and publishing rights holders in a mix.
You can find the three highlighted exclusives here:
- Steve Aoki “The Retrospective Mix: 2011 –2017”
- DJ Suss One “Hip Hop Classics – Part 1”
- Sigala “Sigala’s Picks”
Spotify recently announced that it too is supporting remixes.
