Algoriddim on Thursday released a new version of djay for iPhone and iPad. Like previous releases, djay has a number of cool features, but the one that stood out to me was Spotify integration.

I met with the guys before the release to get a look at what they were working on, and I was impressed. They didn’t just add integration into Spotify’s library, they made it work as if the music was sitting right on your device. The music also works with all of the other great features that djay has to offer like Harmonic Match, HD Waveforms and others.

When Spotify integration was first demoed for me, djay was running on an iPad, connecting to Spotify over Wi-Fi—it worked very well. There were no glitches or waiting to load songs—it just worked.

Being the skeptic that I am, I asked how it would work if the venue where the DJ was playing lost Wi-Fi. The guys turned off Wi-Fi and played it over 4G, then over 3G, all without a single hiccup. I ever asked to pick my own song to ensure they hadn’t anticipated my question and cached something. It worked perfectly.

The last thing I asked them to do was turn off networking altogether. My thought was what if the network dropped out—would djay scream to a halt? When it came back on, would it remember where it was or would it reset itself back to the beginning?

We turned off networking for about 10 seconds and djay kept playing. When we turned it back on, the app just kept streaming music like it never knew about the outage. I guess it didn’t.

Creating music is about being able to focus on creation. Algoriddim gives you that with djay. I’ve been very impressed with the company and their products for a long time now.
