Social Listening Party in Soundrop Wins Grammi Award

We think Soundrop, the group listening platform, is cool for a number of reasons: It just put listening rooms on Facebook. Its listening rooms apparently can scale like crazy due to the use of some arcane technology from Ericsson called Erlang. They can also exist concurrently in different places on the internet. Like, if you’re…

Attention DJs: ‘Mixed In Key’ Can Get the Party Started

We’ve heard of other technologies that can detect how much “energy” is present in a song, as well as how “danceable” it is (including this one from our publisher), but we’ve never seen one rack up as many celebrity DJ endorsements as Mixed In Key, so we figured this Mac and Windows DJ tool was…

The Nifty Trick Behind Pulselocker, a.k.a. ‘Spotify for DJs’

There’s a good reason no company has released a music subscription service that delivers the choicest cuts to DJs, even though most of them use laptops for some or all of the music they play in dance clubs around the world. The problem: DJ software is very specialized, with advanced features you won’t find in…

‘Reactable Huntemann’ Pushes Interactive Album to Next Level

If you haven’t heard of Reactable yet, basically, it’s a lit-up musical table interface upon which you can place physical objects and manipulate them in order to create and remix music. As you might suspect, there is an app version ($10, iOS or Android) — but that is not what concerns us here, at least…

budtobud

Budtobud Turns Your Downloaded Music into Internet Radio for Everyone Else

Last time Evolver.fm checked in with listening room app Budtobud, we praised its functionality, but lamented that its interface felt “overthought, with lots of windows, menus, and modes.” Partially in response, Budtobud recently rolled out a revamped, slimmed-down version of the service, but my prognosis is… better, but still a little too cluttered.

spotcast app.net

First App.net Music App Worth Using: SpotCast (a.k.a. ‘Turntable.fm for Spotify’)

  App.net is garnering lots of attention among the technorati for its innovative business model — a subscription-based, ad-free, microblogging social networking service and an open API for third-party developers. A “real-time social feed,” App.net pledges to do basically what Facebook Connect does, but without being Facebook (see “Dear Mark Zuckerberg“). Although it only reached…

Shuffler.fm for iOS: More Interesting Than Your iPhone’s Music

Shuffler.fm, one of our favorite ways to “channel surf the music web,” has a new iOS version of its online music magazine we liked so much last August. The Shuffler.fm iOS app (free; universal iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad version) builds upon the success of the web version, but of course, it’s one thing to pore over a…

DJ Mix Fix for iOS Adds Bleeps and Bloops to Your DJ Sets

Attention, dance music and electronica DJs. Nobody has to know that you’re using this app, unless you want them to. And it can make your sets more interesting. We promise. To use DJ Mix Fix ($1), you would plug your iPhone into your DJ setup using an auxiliary input, then toggle to that input as you…

Video: Eclectic Method’s Insane VJ Set Using Algoriddim Vjay for iPad

It’s no secret that DJs trigger samples made by other people. So why keep it a secret by only playing audio? Video DJs bring a new level of transparency to the DJ craft by including video in the mix, usually depicting the source of the audio sample (although really, they can attach any video to…

Roqbot Gets Funding from Google for Crowdsourced DJ App

We’ve seen at least ten companies try to solve the riddle of how to tailor the music in a bar, restaurant, gym, bowling alley, or wherever to suit the taste of the crowd. From posters that skip songs when you throw stuff at them to facial-recognition hacks that find you on Facebook and use your…

This Week in Music Apps: DJs, Drums, and ‘Using The Force’ to Control Music

As a photographer and design lover, I find it hard to exclude an app with a nice-looking interface, so I’ve included an app we overlooked last year in this week’s selection of new music apps. It may not be new, but this recent Apple’s Staff Favorite is really worth a look. This week also brings new…

IK Multimedia iRig Mix Turns iOS Device(s) into a Respectable DJ Setup

First, it must be said: Many people already DJ with an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. They works just fine in many settings, even without using fancy DJ apps that enable cross-fading, EQ, headphone cuing, and other mainstays of the DJ trade. After all, when most people talk about DJing at a bar or party,…

Budtobud Turns iTunes into Social Music Network

The creators of the new group-listening app budtobud say they had a long conversation with Turntable.fm creator Billy Chasen at TechCrunch Disrupt 2010 (see update), when they were working on a social DJ music player. At the time, he was still working on his old company, stickybits. The following spring, Chasen launched Turntable.fm, the music-tech darling of…

We’ve Lost Control Again: Return of the DJ

When the MP3 revolution hit its stride, the coolest thing about it was how much control we were given over our music. Weightless files and tiny players let you carry your entire library around with you, all the time. Anything you wanted to listen to — so long as you had already hunted it down…
