Spotify has expanded its AI DJ with nine additional voices and a setting that limits spoken interruptions, the company said. The customization options are available to Premium subscribers in markets that offer DJ.

The commentary toggle lets listeners turn off talk between song sets. With that setting, the DJ limits its responses to short acknowledgments at the start of a session or when a listener asks for different music.

The English additions cover American, British, Irish, Australian and Indian accents. They are Casey, Tess, Lane, Sam, Nell, Declan and Nisha. The two Spanish additions are Nico and Fabi. Spotify describes the voices as having distinct personalities and has posted audio samples on Instagram.

According to Spotify, DJ draws on listening history to combine music recommendations with commentary, mixing familiar tracks, older favorites and new releases. The interactive version debuted in May 2025, with Spanish-language capabilities added afterward.
