In the last 18 months the world has changed greatly and global economic and political challenges have been unexpected. This radio DJ, essentially transformed a user’s mobile phone into a full-scale radio station. We believe the product we have created is best in class with a unique user interface. We continued to innovate with updated UX and new features like online radio. We were committed to our many users and directly licensed 18+ million tracks from great music companies like Sony Music, Warner Music Group, Empire, and The Orchard for use with Pacemaker®.
It was a great outcome for users but in 2019 Spotify announced they were discontinuing their DJ integration, necessitating that all partners seek integrations elsewhere. Initially integrated with Spotify, this was a groundbreaking execution that enabled the simpler creation of mixes. Commended by The Verge, The Guardian, and Wired for its ingeniously simplistic UI and earning a slew of Apple accolades, including an Apple Design Award, Pacemaker® was seen as a bright new addition to the music industry. Launched in February 2014 as the pioneer iPad app with a Spotify connection, it gave users the ability to mix music from a vast library of millions of tracks.
The Pacemaker® application was sunset on June 26th, 2023.
