What's New in DJ Console
May 2026
Lineup panels, song previews, and smarter state management — everything shipping this month for DJs on the platform.
DJ Lineup Panels
Venue detail sheets now show a full DJ lineup panel — animated, gesture-driven, and built with Reanimated v4. Listeners can see every DJ scheduled for the night, follow them with a single tap, and know exactly who's on deck.
For DJs, this means more visibility. Your name appears on the venue card the moment you're added to the lineup.
Song Preview Playback
Users can now play 30-second previews of any song in a venue's live feed — directly from the map. Powered by a tiered fallback resolver (iTunes → Deezer), previews load instantly and auto-stop after 30 seconds.
Your set isn't just a list of titles anymore — listeners can actually hear what you're playing before they walk through the door.
Smarter DJ Software Detection
We've overhauled how DJ Console finds your music library. The new locate-folder fallback lets you manually point to your Serato, Rekordbox, or VirtualDJ database if auto-discovery fails — especially useful for external drives.
- Probe order: cache → bookmark → canonical path → directory scan → manual selection
- Validation: DJ Console checks for the correct DB file before accepting a folder pick
- 3-strikes fallback: After three invalid picks, a support panel surfaces with one-click contact + help links
Support Diagnostics
When you submit a support message from DJ Console, it now automatically attaches a diagnostics snapshot — software discovery status, session state, recent logs, and CPU/memory metrics. This means faster resolution when something isn't working.
Your diagnostics are only sent when you explicitly tap “Send to Support.” We never collect this data in the background.
Coming Up
