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.
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.
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.

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

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.
FAQ: DJ mode
Short answers to common questions DJs ask about DJ mode.
Does mixody play music automatically in DJ mode?
No. The connected player only serves as a search catalog. You decide what and when you play.
Do I need extra DJ equipment for mixody?
No. You keep using your own setup - mixody only collects your guests' song requests.
How do guests submit requests in DJ mode?
The same way as on a normal party: by QR code, link, or party code - no app required.
Can I switch back to normal mode later?
Yes. DJ Mode is a setting, not a one-way decision: turn it off in the party settings at any time and mixody takes over playback — and back on just as easily.
What happens to a request after I've played it?
You mark it as played or decline it yourself - it then moves to the matching tab.
Does the DJ dashboard work on a smartphone?
Yes. You can leave it open next to you while you play.
