Hilit Kolet Unlocks Creative Freedom with Beatport Streaming on the CDJ-3000
London-based rising star Hilit Kolet has quickly become one of the most exciting names in electronic music. Known for her genre-blending style, Hilit weaves chunky UK-tinged basslines with Chicago-influenced beats and a New York edge. A classically trained musician and long-time face of Soho's legendary Black Market Records, Hilit’s debut track “Techno Disco” on Defected catapulted her into the spotlight. Since then, her productions have garnered support from heavyweights like Carl Cox, Tsha, and Patrick Topping, while her DJ sets—played at iconic venues such as Printworks, fabric, and Amnesia Ibiza—are known for their high-octane energy and fearless selection.
In this video, Hilit Kolet shares how Beatport Streaming integration on the CDJ-3000 is a game-changing innovation for DJs. She describes this development as both “fascinating” and “essential,” allowing artists to access a limitless music catalog directly from their decks. For Hilit, the ability to edit playlists on the go, make last-minute tweaks, and instantly add freshly dropped tracks without digging through promo emails streamlines her workflow and keeps her sets dynamic.
While Hilit still values USBs for testing her own productions and vinyl for rare white-label finds, Beatport Streaming bridges the gap between traditional tools and modern technology, enabling a truly hybrid DJ setup. This flexibility empowers her to push creative boundaries, incorporating acapellas, drum loops, dub versions, and DJ tools that she may not have readily available on USBs.
For Hilit, keeping herself “excited and alert” during gigs is just as important as energizing the crowd. With Beatport Streaming, she can tap into an unlimited digital library, ensuring her sets remain fresh, unpredictable, and inspiring. This evolution marks a significant step forward for DJs looking to innovate, and Hilit Kolet is leading the way with her fearless, forward-thinking approach.
As Hilit gears up for the next phase of her already inspiring career, tools like Beatport Streaming highlight how technology continues to reshape the creative possibilities for artists, allowing them to connect with audiences on an even deeper level.
