Audio & Broadcast Market: Deezer launches Remix Lab to let fans remix songs
Deezer announced Remix Lab, a new in-app feature that lets fans create remixes of select songs with the consent of original artists and rights holders. Deezer says artists are paid for every stream of remixed tracks. The tool provides non-AI controls (tempo, reverb, genre/style changes) available on select artists’ pages and is initially rolling out in France. Deezer positions the feature as aligned with its stance against AI-generated music — the company already uses tools to detect and remove AI tracks from recommendations and editorial playlists. Selected French artists available for remixing include Céline Dion, Alain Souchon, Alonzo, Ronisia, Mosimann, Tiakola, and Zaho. Deezer will also run Remix Lab contests via Deezer Club, with winners featured on a playlist and receiving event tickets and merchandise.
A streaming platform product launch that proposes an alternative to AI-generated remixes and introduces an artist-paid remix model; it could influence creator compensation and content-moderation approaches across streaming services, though initial rollout is limited (France) and impact on ad/marketing ecosystems is indirect.
