20 years ago today, we had a dream to make DJing more accessible 💡
To take the art form we love and enable everyone to experience the joy and creativity of mixing music ���
What started as humble beginnings as a freeware desktop app, led to expanding onto mobile devices, reaching number 1 on the App Store and millions of users, introducing streaming integration, Neural Mix Stems, Fluid Beat Grids, Spatial DJing, 3x Apple Design Awards, and so much more along the way 📈
It’s been an incredible journey already and we couldn’t have done it without you, our amazing community 🫶
So in celebration of this major milestone and our continued commitment to an unrivaled 𝗱𝗷𝗮𝘆 experience, we’re working on something very, very special 🛠️
Watch this space because the best is still yet to come…

“AC this, wash dryer that, US woohoo, EU boohoo” - Why are we eating this brand-warfare from the outside about us up?
Europe has the strongest precision manufacturing in the world, we have leading teams in AI, CV, robotics. Europe is a leader in Automation and Frontier Tech!
Not a single NVIDIA chip could be produced without European machines. Not a single American cloud, robotics, or deep-tech firm would operate without European manufacturing or suppliers.
But we are too humble. Brainwashed to never celebrate Europe. By outsiders and our local politicians.
Time for a change.
Europe is the birthplace of industrialization.
The home of frontier tech.
Time, we act like it.
Welcome to the real Europe! 🔥🇪🇺
The most common objection we get to nuclear energy is, "What about the waste?"
We’re always happy to tell people that we ❤️ nuclear waste.
Small volumes, safely stored and managed, and naturally reducing over time. But the best part is, it’s not waste at all—watch to find out why.
The future is here with 𝗱𝗷𝗮𝘆 for Meta Quest! 🎧
This revolutionary experience merges professional-grade audio, immersive environments, and multi-modal control to mix music like never before.
Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, djay for Meta Quest is designed to transform how you mix, perform, and interact with music.

@flexibits@dggmezy@michaeldavidhop Welcome to the club — great to see a second app using ObjC in the MS Store! 😎 Very interesting to see your setup. How did you do the interop between C# and ObjC?
Moral hazard or not, I now feel the climate situation is bad enough that we should begin scalability work for stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) immediately.
This is not the same conclusion I would have had even two years ago, but the increase in ocean temperature and extreme climate events indicates a trend that will rapidly get worse unless we are able to take global-scale action within the next 1-5 years, and SAI is the only feasible one.
For those whose initial reaction is opposed, there are a few key things you should be aware of:
- One common fear is that this will be bad for crop yields. I thought this too, but the existing data from volcanic eruptions (which have similar effect) indicated a neutral to positive (!) productivity effect on crops.
- This is not "polluting the air with sulphur." The amount of SO2 needed to significantly induce cooling is on the order of 1% of the SO2 pollution we currently emit, and we would be injecting it into the upper atmosphere. Existing SO2 pollution occurs much lower down, so moving it much higher would likely be better, in terms of health/pollution effects.
- The cessation of sulphur emissions from ships since the 2020 ban on those fuels has given us strong evidence that the prior SO2 emitted by those ships had an (unintended) anti-warming effect on the Atlantic shipping lanes, which is now warming rapidly. While it was also unhealthy pollution, it gives us strong real-world data that this would work at large scale, and we can do it without the harmful pollution side effects by injecting it in the higher atmosphere.
At this point I believe the facts now this conclusion should be relatively uncontroversial if one is practical about looking for solutions.
I am the "tree guy" and in 2020 I would not have supported this, as I felt the world could move quickly to a large-scale reforestation and land restoration effort to make significant progress by 2030. But pandemic, wars, and recession have prevented this (along with good ol' inertia), and warming has accelerated.
Would successful implementation of SAI reduce incentive to move away from fossil fuels? It is a very real risk, yes. In fact, I personally think it is likely.
But the hard brutal reality is that the heating trends right now are very dire, and immediate action to reduce the heating are necessary.
We must begin scaling SAI immediately precisely so that things like reforestation and other carbon capture solutions have time for implementation, which in turn buys time for decarbonization of our economies.
This point from @BrianCDeese’s latest essay is important:
80% of lithium reserves are in democracies.
Meanwhile, 80% of oil reserves are in OPEC countries, nearly all of which are autocracies.
Psilocybin (mushrooms) is the most effective known smoking addiction treatment only because people literally “suddenly realized how stupid” smoking is, no other reason given, 80% success rate.
Out now: 𝗱𝗷𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝟱.𝟮 comes packed with new features and enhancements. Building on the groundbreaking innovations introduced in djay Pro 5, as well as the official integration with @AppleMusic added earlier this year, the update continues to set new standards for DJs and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on it!
🎉 We’re thrilled and honored that #djay has been announced as a finalist for the #AppleDesignAwards 2024 in the new #SpatialComputing category at #WWDC24!
„Finalists in this category brought extraordinary craftsmanship to their exceptional spatial experiences. djay isn’t just a groundbreaking app; it’s an entirely new way to interact with music. With incredible technical ingenuity and best-in-class immersion, it feels fresh and new and alive.“ 🥳🎧 @AppStore

But seriously , what has nature ever done for us ? You know , apart from the air we breathe , the food we eat , making us healthier . . .

The European Union just came out with an official report:
REAL-WORLD emissions versus the new WLTP cycle.
The results are
*UNBELIEVABLE!!*
PHEVs emit on average
THREE AND A HALF TIMES MORE
than the official test claims!

Why was 2023 so extreme? The data is finally in!
The world absorbed a lot more sunlight, as less was reflected.
While greenhouse gases kept most of the additional heat in.
Add El Niño and all temperature records shattered!
