Dekk plays the queue

Songs play in turn with smooth transitions. You can remove tracks or change the order, and if the queue runs out Dekk carries on with similar music.

For nights when everyone has a song to add.

Questions people ask

Do my friends need Spotify Premium to add songs?

No. Dekk does not require Spotify Premium or any other music subscription. Friends join with the QR code and add songs from their browser.

Is there a free alternative to Spotify Jam?

Yes. Dekk lets a group add songs to the same party queue for free. It uses music from YouTube rather than Spotify.

Does Dekk need an account?

No. Neither the host nor the guests need to create an account, and there is nothing to download.

What happens when nobody adds a song?

When the queue is empty, Dekk keeps the music going with similar tracks until someone adds another song.

Can I host a party from my phone?

Yes, using the simplified mobile player. For the full two-deck mixer, use a computer. Guests only need their phones.

Everyone adds songs. Nobody needs Premium.
