Spotify Teams Up With Martin Garrix, PinkPantheress, SOFI TUKKER, and More to Debut Mixed Playlists With Seamless Transitions

September 22, 2025

Last month, Spotify introduced the ability for Premium users to mix their own playlists with transitions so every track flows smoothly into the next. Now that the feature (in beta) has fully rolled out to all eligible Premium users, some of the world’s top DJs and producers are showing what’s possible.

Head to our new Mixed By hub on Spotify to hear exclusive mixed playlists from artists like Martin Garrix, PinkPantheress, SOFI TUKKER, Chris Lake, Steve Aoki, WizTheMc, Romy, Don Diablo, Pete Tong, Fcukers, and DJ Seinfeld, as well as globally renowned clubs, collectives, and more. Whether you’re looking for a workout soundtrack, a party starter, or inspiration for your own mixes, these playlists are a masterclass in smooth transitions.

Just added: Swedish House Mafia has released an exclusive mixed playlist featuring extended tracks and special edits, giving fans a chance to relive their recent Arthur Ashe show in New York. Listen here.

Ready to try mixing your own playlist?

Open your Spotify app and select a playlist you’ve created (or make a new one), then tap “Mix” from the toolbar and start experimenting.

Once you’ve created your unique playlist, just hit “Save.” You can share your playlist, or even collaborate on it with friends who are also Premium users. There’s also an option to toggle the mix on and off at any time by pressing the “Mix” button.

Three tips to help you mix like the pros

1. Try the presets for easy experimentation.

Not sure where to start? Tap a preset like “Fade” or “Rise” to let Spotify do the heavy lifting. Presets combine volume, effects, and EQ (equalizer) settings to help you get a feel for what works.

2. Match BPM and key for the smoothest sound. 

Songs might feel like they go together, but for the smoothest transitions, check that the BPM (beats per minute) and key are similar. You’ll see that data in the playlist and Edit transition view—use it to scan and stack like a pro.

3. Keep the flow, set the tone.

Is your mix a slow burn or a dancefloor sprint? Arrange your tracks to build energy, shift moods, and take listeners on a journey. Great playlists don’t just play, they perform.
