Already bursting into the DJ performance software market through Serato, they’ve got big plans to expand further into the Virtual DJ platforms too. Look for DEX3, Native Instruments, Mixvibes, and Hercules versions to launch later in the year. All this news is great but quite shocking considering just a year ago, SC was going through a plethora of issues. However, it’s great to see that they have weathered the storm and will be continuing to help take the EDM industry to the new places. Just as DJ Mag reported, it looks like music streaming is the next frontier of DJ performance.

Again, all you need is a SoundCloud Go+ account to utilize the Virtual DJ integration. If you don’t have an account yet, go here. It even comes with a 30-day free trial.
