The latest release from Algoriddim is shaking things up in the DJ scene. Known for pushing boundaries with their djay app, Algoriddim has just introduced a version tailored for Meta Quest that merges VR, professional DJ gear, and seamless audio. This is more than just an app—it’s an experience that could change how DJs mix, connect with their music, and engage with audiences.
djay on Meta Quest is built to leverage Meta Quest’s advanced audio capabilities to deliver low-latency, multi-channel sound for a smooth, studio-quality performance. With integration of major streaming services, including Apple Music, TIDAL, SoundCloud, Beatport, and Beatsource, this app puts over 100 million songs at a DJ’s fingertips. It’s VR for DJs, but it’s a step further—it’s DJing without limits, combining the digital and physical worlds for a genuinely immersive experience.
So what’s really happening here? Let’s dive into the tech and see why this latest update in DJ software could be a game-changer.
DJing, Reimagined with Mixed Reality Mode
Physical control is non-negotiable for DJs. That’s why djay for Meta Quest integrates seamlessly with industry-standard USB MIDI controllers, allowing DJs to connect their real-world gear to the virtual platform and retain that all-important tactile feel. With Meta Quest’s spatial sound capabilities, Algoriddim is using VR not to replace the real, but to enhance it—allowing DJs to manipulate music as if they’re on a turntable in a club while being surrounded by 3D visuals.
djay’s Mixed Reality (MR) mode creates a unique blend of real-world control and virtual depth. DJs now have the option to move through and customize 3D spaces like a futuristic club or even a hot-air balloon. To take things further, the audio-reactive visuals change in real-time, syncing with the music’s beat and creating a visually dynamic performance environment.
Karim Morsy, CEO of Algoriddim, puts it simply: “DJs can now put on a headset as easily as headphones, plug it into their DJ gear, and enjoy immersive visuals, access to a vast library of music, and state-of-the-art real-time audio. This represents a major leap in DJ technology—evolving from analog setups to computers and now headsets.”
And it’s not just hype. Red Bull 3Style DJ World Champion, Eskei83, says that djay on Meta Quest is a “game-changer.” For Eskei, “It’s more than just equipment – it’s a breakthrough that opens up possibilities I never even imagined. It will enhance any DJ set, and in a few years, we’ll look back at this moment as the turning point when VR began to transform how we DJ forever.”
Intuitive Tools Make It Easy for Any DJ to Dive In
A big selling point for djay on Meta Quest is its music library. DJs of all levels now have access to over 5,000 free songs plus major streaming integrations, letting them choose from more than 100 million songs. It’s an impressive catalog, and for those DJs seeking track recommendations on the fly, djay has the built-in Match tool to keep the vibe flowing seamlessly.
Then there’s the control side. This latest update makes djay intuitive, especially for beginners exploring the art of DJing for the first time. The app’s 3D turntables and mixer controls are highly responsive, letting you scratch, loop, and mix with ease. Add in Meta Quest’s hand-tracking support, and you’ve got a setup where DJs can control the music using simple, natural hand movements. It’s almost as if the VR controller disappears, leaving you with just the music and the mix.
Plus, Algoriddim has thought of those just starting out. The app includes interactive tutorials that make it easy to understand the basics. But make no mistake—this app is built for pros, too. Advanced spatial audio effects, flexible plug-and-play USB support, and dynamic sound control give seasoned DJs a whole new creative toolkit.
