DIRRODJ.CLUB

Live WebXR club nights

DirroDJ.Club

Two turntables, one human DJ, one robot co-pilot, and a layer of lasers and holograms locked to the room. Guests see it through the phone they already have.

01The idea

A club you can see into

Most VR puts a headset between you and the people you came with. We do the opposite. The digital layer is pinned to the booth, the walls and the ceiling, and everyone keeps their eyes up and their drinks in hand.

A Anchored

Locked to the room

Stage extensions, laser arrays and avatars sit at fixed positions in the venue, so everyone sees the same show from their own angle.

B Social

Faces, not visors

The crowd uses a phone camera or lightweight glasses. You can still talk, dance and toast with the person next to you.

C Portable

Any room works

Basement clubs, rooftops, festival tents, galleries. Each one becomes another node in the network.

02 The co-pilot

Meet DirroDJ

DirroDJ is a robot avatar that shares the booth with Cly3DJ. It scratches, drops records and pushes the visuals around in real time. You can catch it three ways:

  1. Dirrogram

    Point your phone at the booth and it is standing next to the human DJ.

  2. DirroTV

    A mixed reality feed on every screen in the venue, at dirrodj.club/tv.

  3. Twitch

    The same set, streamed live to people who couldn't make it.

03On the floor

What's Coming Next...

An XR Metaverse: a social layer over the real world.

04 Light

The room stops at the walls. The show doesn't.

Hold up a phone and the room fills with light that stays put when you move.

05HoloSMS

Your words on the wall

Guests send a message via HOLOSMS. The DJ approves it and it scrolls across the LED wall above the booth. Try it:

06 Heritage

Raised on the Amiga demoscene

The demoscene squeezed impossible audio and visuals out of tiny machines, live, for a crowd. That is the attitude here.

The laser console on the DJ's tablet is a straight tribute to Amiga Workbench: grey bevelled gadgets, blue title bars, chunky bitmap type and a green vector scope. A nod to Paula, Denise and Fat Agnus, the chips that made it all happen.

The tablet sits flat across the mixer, so the DJ can steer shaders, lasers and cameras without taking a hand off the record. The Amiga's Genlock married analog video to digital graphics. We spin on direct-drive Virtual Turntables in XR.

Concert for One

A private set, filmed so you feel like you're sitting a metre from the artist.

Synaphonic Vol. 1 came out ahead of Apple's own Concert for One with Raye. Here's how it works:

  1. 180° 3D video in 8K

    Look left, right, up and down. The studio, the instruments and the artist are all around you.

  2. Spatial audio

    Sound follows your head. A guitar on your right stays on your right.

  3. Close enough to make eye contact

    You're on the stage, not watching a screen. The artist plays to the lens, which means to you.

Next up: unplugged singer-songwriter sessions with binaural mastering, built for Meta glasses, Snap Spectacles and similar XR eyewear.
