Just before ADE, we announced a partnership with DJ.Studio for this year’s Top 101 Producers and Future of Dance.

It’s a unique piece of software that has revolutionized the process of creating DJ mixes.

This partnership extends far beyond ADE as we have also announced an integration with DJ.Studio so that you can import a set or mix directly from 1001Tracklists and create your own mix from it within DJ.Studio.
During the conference at ADE, 1001Tracklists CEO Evan Sacks participated in a session together with Laidback Luke, DJ.Studio CEO Siebrand Dijkstra, and Helen Sartory, SVP of Creator Services Beatport, to unveil the integration and showcase how Laidback Luke has started using DJ.Studio to streamline his radio show preparation.
