AI-powered live DJ platform in your browser

AI MusicDJ PlatformWeb Audio

The world's first browser-based, zero-install DJ console built for the AI music era. Load tracks from Suno, SoundCloud, or Spotify — then mix them live with dual decks, real-time effects, 3-band EQ, auto-BPM sync, one-touch transitions, a 16-pad SFX bank, and a full effects rack. No downloads, no hardware, no experience required. Open the URL and you're on the decks.

The Problem

Millions of people now create music with AI tools like Suno (10M+ users), Producer.ai, and Udio. They generate dozens of tracks a week — but have no way to curate, mix, or perform them. Traditional DJ software requires desktop installation, $200+ hardware controllers, and months of practice. openCrate eliminates every barrier: paste a playlist URL, and you're mixing live in seconds.

Core Features

🎧

Dual-Deck Architecture

Two full decks with turntable visualization, real-time BPM sync, 3-band EQ, and hardware-style crossfader.

One-Touch Transitions

6 transition types — Bass Swap, Clean Fade, Filter Sweep, Echo Drop, Punch Cut, and Stutter.

🌟

Effects Rack

6 real-time effects: Reverb, Delay, Flanger, Bitcrusher, Distortion, Phaser — each with wet/dry control.

🥊

16-Pad SFX Bank
