Have new music coming out soon via a music label powered by Proton? Congrats! Now you can prepare a DJ Mix on Spotify & Apple to reach a wider audience and increase your earnings.

  • On average, a DJ Mix on Spotify & Apple boosts paid plays by 10% or more, so it's a great way to reach more listeners and earn more money.

  • Unlike a DJ Mix on SoundCloud, you actually earn money for a DJ Mix on Spotify & Apple. You earn your usual share on your own tracks, plus an extra 10% as the DJ. You earn 10% as the DJ on every track you play, even when they're not your own songs.

IMPORTANT: When you make a mix for Spotify & Apple, you can only play tracks from a specific collection of Proton labels --

  • Any Proton label where you've released music or signed a contract.

  • Any Proton label that added you to their Proton promo pool.

We've made it easy to browse all the tracks that you can play in these mixes.
Every artist & promo pool DJ on Proton has access to a personalized TRACK STACK, where you can find all the songs & labels you're allowed to play.

After you make your mix, you'll need to slice the mix into individual songs & then upload it to Proton. Here's our step-by-step guide to learn how.
