Cross DJ Adds Beatport Streaming
Beatport Streaming Reaches Cross DJ
Beatport has expanded its DJ software footprint again, this time with a new Cross DJ integration announced on June 29, 2026. The move gives Cross DJ users access to Beatport’s electronic and open-format catalog directly inside the app, including browsing, searching, loading, and mixing from a mobile device.
For DJs who like preparing or even performing from lightweight setups, this is a meaningful addition. Cross DJ has long been one of the established mobile DJ apps, and Beatport says the app is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android with more than 30 million downloads worldwide.
What DJs Get
- Direct access to Beatport Streaming inside Cross DJ.
- Search and browsing across millions of tracks and more than 40 genres and sub-genres.
- Two-minute previews for Cross DJ users who do not yet have a Beatport Streaming subscription.
- A 30-day Beatport Streaming trial for new users.
Why This Matters
The news is another sign that streaming integrations are becoming less about one or two flagship desktop apps and more about meeting DJs wherever they prepare. Cross DJ is especially relevant for phone and tablet users, wedding and mobile DJs who need fast request coverage, and beginners who want to experiment without immediately buying a full controller-and-laptop setup.
It also lands at a useful moment for open-format DJs. Beatport and Beatsource have been consolidating toward one premium DJ platform, so getting Beatport Streaming into more mobile software helps smooth that transition for DJs who used Beatsource primarily for pop, hip-hop, Latin, and request-driven sets.
Gig Advice
As always with streaming, treat this as a powerful discovery and backup layer rather than the only source for a paid set. Test Cross DJ’s Beatport login before leaving for the venue, keep local files for your core crates, and make sure your subscription tier matches the way you plan to use the app. If you play in low-signal rooms, prepare a non-streaming fallback.
