Macworld
For beginners and music lovers, djay is simply the friendliest way I’ve seen to have some fun with your music and start to explore DJing. […]
The fifty-dollar price is reasonable and even makes the program appealing to advanced DJs as an addition to their setups—crank up the audio-quality preferences and consider adding Vestax controller hardware, and you could easily play some paid gigs with it.
Peter Kirn — composer/musician, media artist, and technology writer — wrote an excellent review of djay in Macworld, which contains lots of details including most of djay’s more advanced features.
Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5 mice.

International DJ Magazine (iDJ)
algoriddim have embraced the richness the OS X system to offer the DJ a whole new experience in DJ software. There are no compromises for cross-platform compatibility here — djay even looks like a Mac program. What really excites me is that algoriddim has embraced the more advanced audio processing capabilities that OS X has to offer. […]
For the money you won’t find better mixing software for the Mac.

DJ Chris Paul
For me as I am really a total Digital DJ now using 2 MacBooks and Ableton live with Serato on one and djay on the other, djay has become an important part of prep for me as i use iTunes for all playlists and its easier to go through tracks with djay. Also for early and lounge events the Automix is second to none for me. I have used djay for a whole gig at a house party just so I could demonstrate how easy and fun it is… we had the Mac plugged into a 47" TV, people loved it!
Probably the most important to me is STABILITY, djay is totally stable and has NEVER let me down, to be able to set up a mix and walk away with confidence is something i have not really been able to till now.
DJ Chris Paul, London’s No. 1 DJ, has played in the world’s most famous night clubs across Europe and the US. As a producer, Chris Paul was signed to Virgin Records, Tommy Boy and Emi Records and has been remixing popular US artists like Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliot, Pink, Craig David and Sisco.

Jon Burton, Sound Engineer for The Prodigy
As a live sound engineer, I am often asked to play music at gigs. At the moment I am on tour doing sound for The Prodigy, where I am also required to play walk-in music and often something to fill in between the DJ and the band going on stage. This can last anything between 10 minutes and half an hour.
I am not a DJ, but djay has been a great help for me. The ability to keep adding tunes to keep the crowd going is great, while also being able to leave it in “Automix” mode while I work on my main job!
We have audiences of between 5 000 and 50 000, so I am glad it all works so well!

Masta Hanksta
I have been a DJ for over 20 years plus I used almost every DJ equipment out there as a scratch DJ and producer. I find djay to be one of the easiest and most stable softwares on the market. With djay I can prepare my mixes and scratches on the fly from any location and its fun too.
djay is a tool which every DJ should have no matter what type of work you do. The spinning virtual turntables are the closest thing you will get to a Technics 1200 on a computer.
Born in 1969, composer and artist Masta Hanksta is one of the most influential DJs of his time. A true pioneer in the DJ game with over 27 years of music experience, Hanksta was one of the youngest DJs to hit the streets in 1982.

Raptile
I love djay. I use it to put my shows together plus it’s a great production tool. It gives me 100% freedom to achieve the maximum in the studio. It’s a clean and simple interface, but you still can do countless things with it. Its iTunes integration is phenomenal! If you call these other digital turntable applications the “stars” of the industry… then djay is the “GALAXY”!
Raptile, CEO of Monstablokaz Entertainment, sold half a million records worldwide and had various top-ten hits including “Make Y’All Bounce” featuring Xzibit.

Mel Martin
I teach jazz saxophone and use a lot of play-along CDs in iTunes. djay’s interface is great and highly functional to change keys, speed up or slow down tracks. It is the newest and best software to use on current Macs to vary pitch and tempo of MP3s and Playalongs without adding the usual audio artifacts.
Simply the greatest small audio software out there. I use it almost every day.
Mel Martin is a world-renowned be-bop/jazz saxophonist and has worked with such greats as Benny Carter, Dizzy Gillespie, and Santana.

I am a professional photographer in Florida, USA. I put together simple DVD slideshows for my clients. I have recently found djay and started using it. WOW, it is totally awesome. For the first time I can add all the songs exactly where I want them and fade in and out. Un-freakin-believable!!!
You have made my life so mush easier, I can not thank you enough.

While other vendors spew out Traktor clones, algoriddim embraces the richness that the OS X system has to offer and give you a whole new experience.
djay is certainly a breath of fresh air in a market saturated with software all looking and running the same.
