Abstract

The average cost to host a DJ for a 3-4-hour set is about $1200; for local venues, bars and events that can be an expensive investment (Hirerush.com). BeUrDJ was created to give venues a solution for expensive DJs by providing a collaborative music listening experience at no cost. BeUrDJ allows all listeners at events and venues the ability to engage with the DJ's playlist by inputting songs and reacting with likes, dislikes or favoriting songs in the session. The DJ sets up each session where listeners can join, and each session is designed to be highly customizable. DJs can set filters for each session to match the atmosphere of the event and the queue will be updated with recommended songs if there are no songs left in the queue. BeUrDJ provides listeners with an interactive music listening experience by giving the power to the listeners.
