MUNICH, Germany – November 7, 2024 –
Algoriddim, creators of the award-winning djay app with over 70 million downloads across desktop, mobile, and spatial devices, today announced the release of djay for Meta Quest, introducing a groundbreaking DJ experience that combines professional-grade audio, immersive environments, and multi-modal control to mix music like never before. With interactive tutorials and a vast library of millions of songs, the app is accessible to any beginner, while offering professionals advanced immersive tools to elevate their performances.
Developed specifically for Meta Quest, the djay app features multi-channel low-latency audio, advanced USB MIDI support, and dynamic spatialized sound effects. This enables DJs to connect existing gear directly to a VR headset, combining tactile control with immersive visuals and hand gestures – setting the stage for the future of XR-powered DJ performances.
“We’re thrilled to bring djay to Meta Quest and transform the way DJs connect with their music and audience.” said Karim Morsy, CEO of Algoriddim. “DJs can now put on a headset as easily as headphones, plug it into their DJ gear, and enjoy immersive visuals, access to a vast library of music, and state-of-the-art real-time audio. This represents a major leap in DJ technology – evolving from analog setups to computers and now headsets.”
Having had exclusive access to djay on Meta Quest ahead of its release – and already having performed with it publicly – Red Bull 3Style DJ World Champion and pioneering force in the DJ world, Eskei83 commented:
“As a DJ who’s always eager to explore new gear and stay on the cutting edge, I can say with confidence that djay on the Meta Quest is a true game-changer. It’s more than just equipment – it’s a breakthrough that opens up possibilities I never even imagined. It will enhance any DJ set, and in a few years, we’ll look back at this moment as the turning point when VR began to transform how we DJ forever. Whether you’re in the booth or the studio, this technology will redefine how we create, mix, and connect with our audience. This is the future of DJing, and I’m thrilled to be at the forefront of it.”

Additionally, with access to over 100 million songs through integrated streaming services like Apple Music, DJs can tap into a vast music library to fuel their creativity.
Algoriddim has consistently pushed the boundaries of DJ technology – from pioneering DJing on mobile devices in 2010, to integrating streaming services in 2014, and inventing real-time stem separation with Neural Mix in 2020, fundamentally changing how DJs perform. Following Algoriddim’s Apple Design Award win for the best Spatial Computing app on Apple Vision Pro in 2024, this release marks another leap forward, further cementing djay as the leading music app in VR and XR.
