Just moments ago, the first unofficial remix went live on Spotify and Apple Music thanks to their partnerships with music rights management service Dubset.
SoundCloud still is one the few major players that allow DJ mixes, but Dubset is also ready to distribute royalties from those mixes. Dubset CEO Stephen White says that “mixes are coming next.”
Without the legal grey area now, Spotify and Apple Music will end up competing with SoundCloud and potentially make them obsolete.
