Problem

During the pandemic the electronic music event scene was halted forcing DJs and producers to perform from their bedrooms and studios instead of the clubs and festivals they have been used to for decades.


  • DJs are unable to provide music & a robust, curated interactive audio and visual experience
  • Streaming is extremely complicated and can be expensive if not done correctly
  • ‍Most DJs are not visual designers
  • Typical DJ streaming is not interactive, it's a one-way experience for the user

Solution

Interactive User:

Defined as a user who not only wants to watch a live stream, but also participate by controlling the on-screen visuals the DJ is streaming live. This is accomplished via an interactive “VJ” style mixer that allows the user to manipulate custom curated visuals overlaid on the DJ’s provided video stream.


  • Free to the users
  • ‍Easy to understand functionality
  • ‍Professional level visuals
  • ‍An array of Effects & Transitions
  • ‍Social sharing features built in
  • ‍Mobile and MIDI control from any phone, tablet, or MIDI enabled controller

Streaming User:

Not every user wants to participate with the live stream. A more passive option is to view a professionally produced Live Video Stream available on FacebookLive, Twitch, or any platform the client chooses.


  • A-List VJ produced stream that users will recognize and want to be associated with
  • ‍HLS stream with 9 levels of resolution for any connection speed parsed automatically
  • ‍Link to the Interactive Mixer to entice ‘streaming only’ users to control the visuals themselves
  • ‍Social sharing features built in
  • ‍A-List DJ providing the video content and music selection
