Premium subscribers can now pick from more AI DJ voices and turn off commentary between songs.
Updated on Nov. 10, 2026 in Dance and Electronic
Spotify announced that Premium users can customize its AI DJ with an expanded set of voices and personalities, and can toggle off commentary between songs. The new voices begin rolling out November 10, 2026, in markets where the DJ is supported.
Why it matters
The update gives listeners more control over how the AI DJ sounds and behaves, including a background-music mode for gatherings. Spotify says reduced commentary lets people use the DJ when hosting a party without constant chatter.
Over 94M Spotify Premium listeners currently use the AI DJ, which is supported in more than 95 global markets in six languages plus English and Spanish voice options. The announcement does not disclose usage figures for the new voices or the reduced-commentary setting.
