Beatport is proud to introduce our latest advancement in groundbreaking DJ technology: Party Mode — a new feature inside Beatport DJ that gives you latency-free, connected DJ sessions with up to four DJs at once from any location worldwide.
While playing in Party Mode, you are your fellow DJs can exchange tracks, dig through Beatport to find new music, and build joint playlists directly in our web-based DJ software. Think of it as any regular B2B session… but borderless — giving you and your friends the ability to play together at any time, no matter the place — and with the tremendous power of Beatport’s 12-million-strong track catalog at your fingertips.
But what good is a party without people to play for? With Party Mode, you can invite up to 100 fans to watch, listen, and join in on the action in real-time with the feature’s integrated chat function. Viewers can also dig through Beatport’s catalog via the app’s discovery function and chime in with “track requests” at any time, all while creating a shared session playlist that every participant can save.
