Spark DJ is a music streaming service that combines DJ inspiration, seamless song transitions and requests from the crowd, giving users an exceptional party experience for any occasion.
Spark DJ is available as a free download in the Apple iOS App Store. To stream party music you must have a Spotify Premium account.
You are not required to have a Spotify Premium account if you are simply joining a party. You will have the ability to put in requests and vote on songs automatically. Only the user who starts the DJ is required to have a Spotify Premium account – be sure to thank them!
Download the Spark DJ app, tap “Join Party” and the app will show you the nearest Spark DJ parties so you can join in on the fun, request music and dance the night away!
You may have as little or as much control over the music as you’d like when using Spark DJ. You can browse from our expertly curated playlists for a quick start, or personalize your own DJ by selecting energy levels and genres with our Build a DJ feature. For maximum control you may simply select one of your own Spotify playlists and let Spark DJ mix it for you. You also have the option to hear explicit or clean lyrics.
Typically your request will be played within 10 minutes of requesting any given song. However, there are number of factors that can cause it to be played later.
Timing – Spark DJ runs and acts like a live DJ – mixing songs and taking requests when it sees fit. If you don’t see your request get taken right away (and you have no negative votes) be patient and Spark DJ will find the perfect fit for your request! Spark DJ is also required to follow music licensing guidelines which restricts certain songs at certain times.
Voting – SparkDJ looks at votes to determine if it is a right fit for the crowd. If your request finds its way to the top – be on the lookout for it get played! If you find your request is making its way to the bottom, head back to the Requests tab to remove your request and add a new one.
Absolutely, go to Setting>Music Preferences>Select Clean Lyrics Only.
