How does the DJ work?

If you have the Spotify app up to date, the first thing you will notice is Spotify's New Home Feeds, which provides you the feeds for both Music and Podcasts & Shows. And the DJ thing is right included in the Music on this new Home experience. In the Music feed, you will have quick access to suggestions based on your music taste and discover new favorites for album, playlist recommendations with the DJ function.

For starters it will sort through the latest music and look back at some of your old favorites from where Spotify can know you can your music taste - such as your Liked Songs, On Repeat, your time capsule playlist, top songs/artists and more. Then the DJ thing will review what you might enjoy and derived a stream of songs picked just for you. The best part is that you can always tell how you feel about it so that it will refresh the lineup based on your feedback.

Spotify's DJ Mode: Automix/AutoDJ VS AI DJ

For a long time, Spotify users benefit from the Automix/AutoDJ features on Spotify to listen to a selection of playlists made by Spotify, such as Sub Low. The auto-mix content included allows seamless transition between tracks.
