Take the party with you: rekordbox launches Lite mode for iOS and Android

Have you ever thought, "DJing looks fun" or "I'd like to try it"? The new Lite mode in rekordbox for iOS/Android by AlphaTheta is here to make that first step easy and exciting.

rekordbox is a DJ app that lets you easily play and mix music, and it's popular among DJs of all levels, from beginners to professionals.

Lite mode is designed with a clear and intuitive interface and visually appealing design, so anyone starting out in the DJ world can begin with confidence. Best of all, all Lite mode functions are completely free: just install the app on your smartphone or tablet and start DJing from day one.

rekordbox, including the new Lite mode, is also compatible with popular music streaming services like Apple Music, Beatport Streaming, TIDAL, and SoundCloud Go+/DJ, allowing you to instantly mix tracks from your favorite playlists. Even without music files stored on your device, you can enjoy the excitement of DJing whenever inspiration strikes.

Key features of Lite mode

A design to visually enjoy the music

The Lite mode screen is designed like a turntable, with color effects and animations that react to the beat of the music. The jog wheel and background dynamically reflect the album cover’s color palette with a vibrant neon aesthetic, making the visual experience as captivating as the audio. It's easy to use and intuitive for beginner DJs.

Intuitive effects that let you experiment with sound

Simply tap the large on-screen buttons to add effects like echo or rhythm changes to your music. No technical knowledge or complex understanding is required. The design is visually intuitive, making it easy for beginners to explore and enjoy experimenting with sound. Visual information appears on-screen with every tap, enhancing the fun.

Single mode for focused listening

Unlike the 2-deck mode, where two tracks are lined up for mixing, single mode prominently displays one track’s album art on screen. It supports vertical device orientation, making it easy to use anywhere or during short breaks. It's ideal when you want to focus on a single song and explore its spirit and feel by interacting directly with the player screen.

Easy switch to Lite mode with a single tap

Once you’re familiar with the basics of Lite mode, simply tap the rekordbox button to access more features. You can switch modes at any time, making it easy to progress at your own pace. With expanded functions, your DJ experience becomes more flexible, personal, and truly your own.
