Streaming Service Pulselocker Shuts Down

Pulselocker just announced that it is ceasing operations effective immediately.

Pulselocker, the DJ-focused music streaming service, just announced that it is ceasing operations. In an email sent out to users, Pulselocker cited “a combination of market circumstances and financial constraints” as the reasons for shutting down.

Pulselocker steadily gained traction these past few years, gaining integration within DJ software like Serato DJRekordbox DJ, and Virtual DJ.

Virtual DJ’s online music service is the other, which is split among three plans from different providers: Music (provided by iDJ Pool), Karaoke (DigiTrax and Karaoke Cloud), and Video (VJPro).
