Mixing Music Platforms

The Pyro App Lets Consumers DJ Directly from their Smartphones

— February 12, 2016 — Tech
The Pyro app is a music platform that lets consumers take on the role of the DJ directly on their smartphones while the mix tracks and set up playlists that seamlessly provide continual sound for events and social gatherings without the need for a turn table. This is ideal for on-the-go and spontaneous music playing that never misses a beat.

Similar to a hired professional, the Pyro platform focuses on mixing songs and providing an automated DJ for social gatherings. The app pulls playlists from iTunes, Spotify or MP3s found on the device and lets users drag and drop songs in the other they want them as well as control when fades begin and end. This allows for seamless transition between tracks, without the user having to keep tabs on what is coming up next.

The Pyro app lets consumers take on the role of a DJ seamlessly and without any necessary skill, as the app focuses on the production allowing the user to simply curate the tracks and enjoy the music.
