It's cool to see things like this, I wasn't aware of. I made something similar for VR around 6 or 7 years ago with full DJ mixing on real vinyl turntables. I got things built so DJs could play their set from anywhere in the world and have access to their music from their own studio or home etc. Unfortunately i was one guy making this and health issues have sadly put this project on hold indefinitely. It would be a sh…

Super cool, during covid times I sorta started making a system where you could back2back dj mix with a remote friend, but never really got anywhere. Would love to pick it up again, or know if there have been some new developments in this field? There are some ‘jam together’ type projects but as I recall, these werent really suitable for DJ mixing electronic music (latency wise).

The first time I saw something like this was in a music-focused virtual world from the 2000s. Strangers would strike up conversations with each other, dance (in some cases to well-known artists), wander around to see what others were doing, and generally just hang out. I think it was called vSide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSide

Cokemusic was another one.

Same platform of Habbo Hotel but sponsored by Coca-Cola.

Very cool to vibe out with folks anonymously. Almost like the old days where you could go to a rave and be you without fear someone would take pictures or people outside the rave would know who you are. Would love an option to cycle skin colors / tones.

These still exist! Look for events promoted as such, or look for smaller local events for the genres you're interested in - the latter might not ban phones, sure, but the vibe is still what you're seeking. Nobody's recording you.

Making movement on IJKL instead of WASD is kind of evil

Good for lefties!

A bit off topic but as someone left handed I use my keyboard and mouse in exactly the same way as right handed people.

It was much easier to get used to this than figure out a custom lefthanded setup.

So fun. Long-time fan of electronic music and am heading to my first DJ-centered concerts this year.

I think that scene is overrun with influencer types and various types of recreational substance use. Maybe I'm wrong.

Bookmarking for background while I do other things!

Not sure what part of the world you're from but I'm sure you can find some decent authentic gigs around where people aren't doing it for the likes and follows :)

Honestly, going to a rave with a dancefloor and cool people is kind of lifechanging. It's kind of the environment that a lot of (most?) dance music is made for. Have a great time!
