This past winter, Spotify debuted “track IDs,” a suite of Dance/Electronic playlists co-curated by the world’s leading DJs and Spotify’s editorial team. The playlists provide DJs with a platform to easily share the tracks they would play in their sets, further connecting them with their fans. Today, and on the heels of the first wave of popular playlists, Spotify is unveiling a second round of track IDs with a new roster of the genre’s favourite DJs.
