2019
Rekordcloud Founded
After 6 months of work, the Rekordcloud web-app (the Lexicon DJ predecessor) was released. It only supported Rekordbox and Traktor, it was riddled with bugs but it worked!
2020
Lexicon Beta
It quickly became apparent that a web-app was not ideal for the vision of a library manager. A clunky companion app had the job of reading the Serato database and working with music files.
Everything had to be re-invented. The idea of Lexicon DJ was born as the central library manager. After six months of non-stop development, it was ready for a beta version.
2022
Lexicon Released
Lexicon DJ was in beta for a full year and development went into over-drive to fix bugs, add missing features and brainstorm new ideas with the community. Lexicon 1.0 was finally released in 2022.
2024
TrackHack Released
TrackHack (previously called Tuneful) was a side-project that had been online for a while but never packaged into a real Android/iOS app. In 2024 TrackHack went into the app stores, ready to discover new music. It has since been rebuilt as Groof.
Meanwhile, work on Lexicon DJ continues...
2025
OpenKeyScan Released
Accurate musical key detection had long been locked behind paid tools. OpenKeyScan was released as a free, open-source desktop app that uses AI-powered spectrogram analysis to detect the key of any audio file, fully offline.
2026
Sonovault Released
Building music software means dealing with messy, fragmented metadata. Sonovault was released as a developer-friendly REST API with ISRCs, genres and cross-platform IDs. Its catalog now covers 90M+ recordings.
2026
MixID Released
Tracklists for DJ sets are often missing or incomplete. MixID was released as radio made of real DJ sets, with every track named as it plays. Keep the tracks you love and dig into the artists and labels behind them.
