Now you can listen to unofficial remixes of songs on Spotify and Apple 

New technology makes it possible to identify where the songs used come from and pay the corresponding royalties.

It is normal these days to use streaming services to find our favorite music in its original form, but different is the case of unofficial remixes created by “fans” or not licensed, which for years have not had space on “official” platforms. ”So you have to listen to them on sites like Mixcloud, Soundcloud or YouTube.

Now the situation has changed, since from now on it will be possible to listen to remixed songs on Apple Music and Spotify. With limited availability but with plans to expand, from now on those DJs who do not necessarily have the license or blessing of the original artist and remix one of his songs, will be able to upload them to the aforementioned services.

To achieve this, the companies signed an agreement with the Dubset company to use their MixBANK software, whose technology allows songs and their samples to be scanned to identify the material they came from and thus pay artists and record labels part of their earnings for reproduction. At the same time this allows DJs to gain notoriety and make a presence on huge platforms, so technically everyone wins.
Dubset president Stephen White told TechCrunch that this deal couldn't come at a better time due to the absurd popularity of remixes, with more than 700 million fans worldwide. It is important to note that for now the remixes are simply solo songs and not sessions or mixtapes that you can listen to all night long, but it is the next step to take.
