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.
