DJ mode

You play. Your guests request.

DJ mode collects your guests' song requests in a dashboard while you play from your own setup. mixody never plays anything automatically - you decide what runs.

For DJs who play their own set

Not a replacement for your gear - a companion that keeps requests organized.

  • Guests search and request songs directly in the browser, no app needed.
  • Every request lands sorted in the DJ dashboard, live and without shout-out chaos.
  • You decide what you play - mixody never plays anything automatically.
Problem

Why song requests get annoying while you play

As a DJ, you have your own setup and your own style. Guests still want a say - usually via shout-outs, WhatsApp, or scraps of paper.

Requests arrive through many channels at once and get lost or duplicated.

You have to switch between playing and sorting through shout-outs.

Without structure, you can't tell which request the group actually wants.

Solution

How DJ mode organizes requests for you

Guests join by QR code or link, search songs in the connected player, and submit them as requests. You decide in the dashboard what you take.

Invite guests

QR code, link, or invite PDF straight from the dashboard - the same invite as for any mixody party.

Player as search catalog only

Spotify or YouTube only serve as a search catalog. mixody never touches your actual playback.

Collect requests in the dashboard

New requests land in the Open tab - organized, live, and without shout-outs.

Decide and play it yourself

You mark songs as played or decline them yourself, right after you've played them.

Flow

How DJ mode works

The flow stays simple both for you as the DJ and for your guests.

Step 1

Create the party as DJ

When creating the party, you turn on DJ mode instead of automatic playback.

Step 2

Invite guests

Show the QR code or share the link - guests join instantly in the browser.

Step 3

Collect requests

Guests search songs in the connected player and submit them as requests.

Step 4

Play it yourself

You decide what to play and mark it as played afterwards.

Benefits

Why DJ mode fits real DJs

DJ mode doesn't replace your set - it just takes the sorting of requests off your hands.

No more shouted requests

Every request lands in one place instead of being scattered across shout-outs, notes, or chats.

You stay fully in control

mixody never plays anything automatically - you control order and timing yourself.

No extra equipment needed

You keep using your own controller, software, and sound system.

Works on mobile too

The dashboard runs alongside you on your phone while you play.
