Serato DJ for iOS Launches

 Serato has released Serato DJ for iOS, which they describe as a remarkable new app that brings its world-renowned DJ experience seamlessly to mobile. This is what they have to say about it...

Releasing alongside Serato DJ 5.0, the app marks a major expansion of the Serato ecosystem beyond the laptop, providing DJs a familiar, flexible way to create, practice and perform wherever inspiration strikes. Designed for everyone from touring professionals to first-time DJs, the app gives artists the reliability expected from Serato with the freedom of a portable platform. Serato DJ for iOS is now available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.

Serato DJ for iOS includes the same fan-favorite features as the desktop experience, plus the latest features introduced today in Serato DJ 5.0 including Lucid Beatgrids, Open Streaming, Cue Loops, and iOS Transfer, which easily moves tracks, crates and metadata from laptop to iPhone or iPad. From Stems and FX to DVS, recording and performance controls, DJ for iOS gives creatives access to a comprehensive set of professional tools designed for everything from preparing ideas on the move to performing full sets. The mobile app also supports Serato's extensive hardware ecosystem with over 120+ devices alongside advanced creative tools, integrated music streaming, frictionless connectivity with DJs' existing desktop libraries, and so much more.

At the center of the launch is the "DJ Everywhere" campaign, a series of artist-led cinematic short films featuring well-respected DJs A-Trak, DJ Miss Milan, Nick Cheo, and Magie Hue. Each film brings to life real-world use cases for Serato DJ for iOS, showcasing how the app fits effortlessly into the creative lives of this generation. Whether soundtracking intimate gatherings, testing new ideas on the move, or delivering spontaneous sets in unexpected places, Serato DJ for iOS is a legitimate, professional-grade creative tool that can transform everyday moments into true performance opportunities. All campaign videos can be found on Serato's YouTube channel.

"Inspiration is everywhere for me. When a mix hits me out of nowhere, now I can just pull out the app and hear if it actually works." - Miss Milan, Grammy-Award winning DJ & Producer
