[Amazon Music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amp) DJ Mode is a new on-demand listening experience that provides all the benefits of a streaming service with the human touch of DJ-hosted radio segments. Listeners can opt into the experience whether they're interested in hip-hop, pop or country, and they'll get to hear from industry experts, artists and even Amazon Alexa, who has trivia to share.

Steve Boom, VP of Amazon Music, says "We’re continuing to revolutionize how listeners experience music, and with DJ Mode we’re combining the best of streaming and traditional radio." This experience is personalized since fans get to stream music that's perfectly selected for them, and get the added benefit of storytelling to add to the way they hear their favorite songs on the Amazon Music platform.
