The room picks the music.
Walk in with the app and your taste joins the mix. Nothing to tap, nothing to vote on.
How it works
You show up. The rest happens by itself.
-
You walk in.
A small beacon in the venue tells the app you’re there. Your phone stays in your pocket.
-
The room adds up.
DJ Major combines the taste of everyone present who has the app. As people come and go, the room changes with them.
-
The music follows.
The venue’s tablet gets a queue that suits the people there now, with as much of the venue’s own style as the venue wants.
For guests
Your taste, not your whereabouts.
No account needed. This is exactly what the app shares about where you are.
-
Nothing is sent while you walk around.
To find venues, the app reads no position: it listens for the beacons of venues that use DJ Major. Between venues and the host zones you know, we have no idea where you are.
-
2 minutes before we know you’re there.
When your phone picks up a venue’s beacon and you stay for 2 minutes, we know you’re at that venue. That is what lets the room hear you.
-
Nothing is kept if you move on.
Walk past, or leave within 2 minutes, and the visit leaves no trace.
-
About 26 km² when you open the map.
To find venues nearby, the map sends a rough area of about 26 km². In Oslo, that is the whole inner city. It is never stored and never linked to you.
-
Host zones you know are watched by your phone.
A host zone is a place someone hosts for a while, such as a party in a park. Your phone learns of one from the host’s beacon, an invitation link or a QR code, and its location services watch the zone’s area until the zone is over, which needs location access set to Allow all the time. We get no position from that, only when you came into the zone and when you left it. If you open an invitation, we keep that you took it until the zone is deleted. You can turn host zones off in the app.
-
If you host, your position is sent once.
Hosting a zone needs an account. When you create the zone, your phone sends its precise position (GPS level, typically 5 to 50 m) once. It becomes the zone’s centre, the phones that know the zone watch its area, and a public zone is shown on the map to others nearby while it is active. It is deleted together with the zone.
Your taste is a separate matter. If you connect a music service or let the app see what you play, that is shared wherever you are. You switch each source on yourself, and off again.
My visits
After a visit, you get the list of everything that played while you were there, with the tracks picked partly for you marked. That song you couldn’t name is on it.
For venues
Play to the room you have tonight.
A café at nine in the morning and the same café at nine at night are two different rooms. DJ Major plays to the one in front of you.
-
A tablet on the counter.
It shows what’s playing, what comes next and how many guests are in.
-
Your style, your call.
A dial sets how much your own style counts against your guests’ taste, for each time of day. Explicit tracks, if you turn them off, and any genre you rule out stay out, whatever the room likes. DJ Major never plays the same track too often.
-
Insight by weekday and time of day.
See what your guests like on a Tuesday afternoon and on a Saturday night, as anonymous totals.
-
Never below 8 people.
You never see individuals, and nothing is shown for fewer than 8 people. Not on the tablet, not in the insight.
Get the app.
Install it once. After that, all you do is show up.
