DJs Should Soon Be Able To Livestream & Post Mixes On Facebook

Facebook and DJs have not always got on, but all that looks set to change thanks to the social media network striking deals with major record labels.

Facebook has announced the rollout of several new music features on its platform, that should see DJs finally being able to mix live and post their own mixes and mashups without fear of them being taken down.

Facebook users in “select countries” can now add songs to the videos they share and post, and also lip sync to songs live (in a direct swipe by Facebook at the Musical.ly karaoke app). But Facebook hinted in its Tuesday blog post that there is more to come, adding that it will soon start testing ways of “adding music to Facebook Stories”.

All of this means that the day when DJs can confidently post their mixes and livestream themselves spinning on the platform appears to be considerably closer.

Are you looking forward to being able to stream your music on Facebook? Let us know your thoughts and experiences in the comments.
