Apple Music has launched DJ mixes available to stream in spatial audio with Dolby Atmos. Apple’s Spatial Audio, which takes Dolby Atmos, 5.1, and 7.1 audio frequencies and adjusts them so that they can be heard virtually anywhere in 3D space, was launched in March with a number of albums and songs being made available in the format.
Apple has been at the fore of making DJ mixes and sets available for streaming. Last year, they launched groundbreaking technology that could identify individual artists in a DJ mix, and allow for those artists to be compensated in accordance with copyright laws. The initiative is lucrative for both DJs and producers, allowing both to benefit from the streaming age and allowing audiences greater access to dance music.
Apple’s Spatial Audio DJ Mix series kicks off with a mix from none other than techno icon Jeff Mills. Relaunching Apple’s One Mix series, Mills’s Outer To Inner Atmosphere: The Escape Velocity Mix, is an hour long session that Mills says is “designed to stimulate the listeners’ three dimensional senses and sensations using the subject and idea of breaking Earth’s gravitational pull and leaving the planet.”
Other mixes available in the Spatial Audio format include a 15 mix collection from Boiler Room, including sets from HAAi, Lady Shaka, and India Jordan. New Spatial Audio sets are expected to be released monthly.
