Spotify’s AI DJ adds nine voices and a setting to reduce interruptions

Spotify today expanded customization options for its AI DJ, allowing users to choose between different voices and personalities, as well as control how much the DJ talks between songs. Here are the details. Spotify expands AI DJ customization If you’re not familiar with Spotify’s AI DJ feature, the company describes it as “a personalized mix of music and commentary to help you discover new favorites and connect more deeply with the artists you love,” adding that it takes your listening history into account to “[bring] together your favorite tracks, songs you haven’t heard in years, and new releases to keep things feeling fresh.” Spotify first introduced the interactive version of DJ in May 2025, and soon expanded its capabilities to Spanish-speaking users. Then, last May, Spotify expanded availability to more than 75 countries, alongside support for French, German, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese. Now, as spotted by TechCrunch, Spotify is introducing more customization options, including new voices and personalities, as well as the ability to reduce commentary between songs. In a new post published on Spotify’s For the Record blog, the company announced today that “Spotify Premium listeners in markets where DJ is available can choose from an expanded selection of DJ voices in English and Spanish,” with seven new English options spanning British, American, Irish, Australian, and Indian accents, along with two new Spanish voices. Additionally, Spotify now lets users choose whether they want commentary between sets of songs through a toggle that reduces the DJ’s interruptions to brief acknowledgments when starting a session or requesting different music. Here’s Spotify’s description of each of the nine new DJ voices and their personalities: Casey [US]: Laidback energy, warm, bit of a drawl. Tess [US]: Direct but inviting, has a bit of an edge. In-the-know. Lane [US]: Southern accent, brings a younger, positive energy. Sam [AU]: Gregarious, fun, likes to keep things not-so-serious. Nell [UK]: Mellow, slower energy, and deeply knowledgeable. Declan [IR]: Straightforward, passionate, and a bit of a music nerd. Nisha [IN]: Inviting, with contagious energy. Nico [MX]: Down to earth, present, and right there with you. Fabi [MX]: Witty, friendly, and always a step ahead. Spotify also shared a carousel on Instagram with short audio previews of each new DJ voice, giving users a chance to hear how they sound: To read Spotify’s full announcement, follow this link.
