To improve real-time song discovery, Spotify is now testing a new feature dubbed "DJ Now Takes Requests." The feature adds a layer of crowd participation to streaming experiences by allowing users to request songs during Spotify-powered DJ sets.
Why This Is Important for Up-and-Coming Artists
Fan Discovery = Fan Requests
Your tune might reach listeners in more impromptu, natural ways—beyond algorithm playlists—if it is added through requests during these sessions.
Human-Curated Background Is Still Important
This indicates that Spotify values live interaction and human taste more than just automated selections.
The Spaces Are Changing
There are now more opportunities for artists who focus on real-time involvement (livestreams, fan chats, interactive tales) to gain recognition.
Spotify Launches "DJ Now Accepts Requests" — A Revolution in Fan-Driven Exploration

As an artist, you can take advantage of the trend toward participatory discovery, where users are both listeners and curators, as seen by Spotify's "DJ Now Takes Requests." Real-time interaction and community-led events present fresh avenues for success as music trends change, going beyond playlists alone.
