After working on Mugasha for more then 6 months we finally launched Mugashalast week.
Background & Problem:
I am a huge EDM fan like many of you and I love listening to DJ sets. Although I have always found it difficult to interact with sets and tracks within. These "sets" typically last 1 to 2 hours and are released as a single audio file. Fans can usually find track lists of the sets, but pinpointing specific songs and otherwise interacting with such a long audio file is a struggle. Because of electronic dance music's inherent differences, existing Web 2.0 music sites have not and can not effectively cater towards this genre and its fans.
About Mugasha:
Mugasha changes the listeners' interaction with these DJ sets. We make them more accessible and more functional. Simply put, Mugasha allows electronic dance music fans to interact with DJ sets as if they were albums. Users are able to view track lists, skip and replay tracks, and jump to specific songs. They have the ability to quickly skim through sets or instantly play any song from any point in a set. Mugasha is a new channel for DJs to distribute their music to the electronic dance music community, and more effectively build their following.
Friends, traditional radio is on its way out and the new distribution channels are increasingly becoming popular. Mugasha aims to leverage digital media and hopes to increase the accessibility of EDM around the world. We'll start with building a killer app online but you will see us slowly move to mobile apps such as the iPhone and Blackberry.
Currently we are in private beta (limited time) to get feedback from core users. So we need your help and we want you to listen to a ton of sets.
I have a few beta invites to give away here, sign up with invitation code 'anandtech' or visit the link http://mugasha.com/signup/anandtech
Please let us know (feedback link on the site) if you have any question or suggestions.
Cheers,
Akshay
