Words by Mixdown staff

Lite mode’s screen is designed to look like turntables, with colour and animation effects that react to the beat of the music.

Ever thought, “DJing looks fun,” or “I’d like to try it”? The new Lite mode in rekordbox for iOS/Android from AlphaTheta is here to make that first step easy and exciting.

rekordbox is a DJ app that enables anyone to easily play and mix music and is popular with DJs of all experience levels, from beginners to professionals. Lite mode is designed with a clean interface that feels intuitive to use and a visually engaging look, so anyone who’s new to DJing can jump in with confidence. And best of all, every feature in Lite mode is completely free – just install the app on your smartphone or tablet, and you’re ready to start DJing from day one.

Read all the latest features, columns and more here.

rekordbox, including the new Lite mode, also supports popular music streaming services such as Apple Music, Beatport Streaming, TIDAL and SoundCloud Go+/DJ, enabling you to instantly mix tracks from your favourite playlists. Even without music files stored on your device, you can enjoy the excitement of DJing whenever inspiration strikes.

  • Beatport Streaming is not available in rekordbox for Android.
  • A subscription is required to use a music streaming service.
  • Music streaming services may not be available in some countries or regions.
  • For details, please refer to the official websites of each service provider.

Single mode for focused listening

Unlike the 2-deck mode, where 2 tracks are lined up for mixing, Single mode displays one track’s record artwork prominently across the screen. It supports vertical device orientation, so it’s easy to use on the go or during short breaks. This is ideal when you want to focus on a single song and explore its mood and atmosphere by interacting directly with the player screen.

Easy one-tap switch for Lite mode

Once you’re familiar with the basics in Lite mode, simply tap the rekordbox button to access more features. You can switch modes this way anytime, making it easy to progress at your own pace. With the expanded features on offer, your DJ experience becomes more flexible and personal, and truly your own.
