Algoriddim djay For Meta Quest: Welcome To The FUTURE

We’ve seen DJ apps in the VR space before – even from Algoriddim themselves, on the Apple Vision Pro.

But with their new version of djay for the Meta Quest, they’ve unlocked something entirely new – the ability to connect and perform in the metaverse and the real world at the same time, with actual, physical DJ hardware.

Mojaxx examines this new setup, and questions if, in the future, we might see headsets becoming standard issue in DJ booths.

Check out Mojaxx’s full review of the djay app from Algoriddim on DJcityTV.

Why Every DJ Needs a Record Pool in 2025

As the music industry evolves, DJs must stay ahead of the curve, and one of the best ways to do this is by subscribing to a DJ record pool. Here’s why every DJ needs a record pool in 2025.

Curated and DJ-Friendly Tracks

Record pools cater specifically to DJs, offering new releases, edits, and remixes that fit seamlessly into DJ sets. You’ll find intro versions, clean edits, acapellas, and instrumentals that are not always available on traditional music platforms which primarily cater to the general public. These tracks are optimized for mixing, giving DJs greater flexibility during performances.

Time-Saving Resource

Instead of trying to find individual downloads by digging through multiple platforms, a DJ record pool compiles the best tracks in one location. This saves DJs hours of music searching and ensures they can spend more time perfecting their sets or practicing new techniques.

Access to Exclusive Music and Remixes

Record pools often provide access to exclusive versions or remixes of songs not available anywhere else. This exclusivity allows DJs to play tracks no one else has, giving them an edge during live performances and helping them stand out.

Genre-Specific and Niche Content

From Hip-Hop and Dance to Latin and African music, DJ record pools cover a wide variety of genres. This allows DJs to discover new music tailored to their specific style or broaden their horizons by exploring different sounds.

Cost-Effective for Professional DJs

Subscribing to a DJ record pool is one of the most affordable ways for professional DJs to access a massive library of high-quality music. Many record pools offer discounted rates for long-term plans, making it a smart financial move for DJs looking to save money while staying up-to-date with the latest tracks.

Stay Relevant in 2025

Music trends change quickly, and a DJ’s success often depends on staying relevant. Record pools are continuously updated with the latest hits and remixes, ensuring that DJs always have fresh content to keep their sets current and exciting.

In 2025, the demand for fresh, unique music is higher than ever. DJs who want to stay competitive need a record pool to provide exclusive, high-quality tracks that can elevate their performances.

Traktor Kontrol Z1 Mk2 Review: Modular FTW?

After the successful launch of the Kontrol X1 mk3 back in 2023, it seemed inevitable that Native Instruments would later turn their attention to at least one more of the models in their modular Traktor Kontrol line. So now we have the Kontrol Z1 mk2, an upgraded and enhanced version of the mixer part of that system.

Check out Mojaxx’s full review of the Kontrol Z1 mk2 from Native Instruments on DJcityTV.
