As part of an overhaul of its subscription levels, Tidal has announced a major price rise for DJs. The change means that if you want to DJ with the service, you will shortly be paying a whopping £9 more a month in the UK, €11 in Europe, and presumably $11 or $12 in the USA.

This comes into effect on 10 April and is fully rolled out by 13 May, so if you want to keep using Tidal, you’re simply going to be paying substantially more for it, starting in just a month or so from now.

We spoke to Tidal when the ability to use real-time stems in DJ software was removed from their service, and they told us that DJing is an important niche for them, and that they are looking for ways to make the experience for DJs better. But this…isn’t that.

Already, we can see from our socials that this is not going down well out there (unsurprisingly), so of course we have reached out to Tidal for a justification. If they get back to us, we’ll update you.
