plug.dj empowers people from around the world to share music in a fun, real-time, community-driven environment.
Join an existing community, or create your own community based around common interests and musical tastes. Put together the perfect playlist, make new friends, and then take turns playing music and videos with each other. Whoever DJs before you might inspire your next song, and you can discuss musical influences in our live chat. If you discover a new track that you like, you can ‘Woot!’ it to start dancing, or even grab it to add to your playlists. Pick an avatar that fits your personality, and you’re ready to make new friends and listen to music!
plug.dj was launched in February 2012 by a few passionate music fans. They believed that by tapping into the potential of crowd-curated content, they would be able to improve music discovery and overcome the limitations of solitary listening. This approach to music appreciation and sharing has resonated strongly with many people, who had been dealing with the same challenges. A strong and loyal fan base of early adopters has supported and grown plug.dj, spreading it to several million people in 190 different countries with the average user spending over an hour on the site per visit.
