Wow. We just realized that RjDj passed two magic numbers!! RjDj Artists, Producer, Fans, Freaks, Listeners, Team, Evangelist, Everyone get yourself a drink and toast to the fact that we now have more than 100.000 scenes downloaded through the RjDj app which also means that we have officially surpassed more than 1.000.000 (ONE MILLION) distributed RjDj scenes.
About one year ago we started to do some hacking with a very, very small team to prove the fact that reactive music is here to stay. In october 10, 2008 we released the first version of RjDj and now, not even one year later we have more than one million scenes out there. For the whole team here in RjDj land this is a huge success. We are so proud about this that the first thing we did is called our mum and dad to say thanks.
As RjDj scenes technically are Pd (vanilla) patches bundled with additional resources this is big news for the Pd community. Who would have thought that there will be one million Pd patches distributed to mobile phones within one year? So the hugestest THANK YOU goes out to all the Pd patchers out there, to the hackers attendig the Brazil Convention, that we sadly have to miss due to bad timing on our side, and of course to Miller Puckette, without whom all this wouldn't have been started the way it did.
This all really proves that releasing music as software is a very, very powerful concept. We all have just started to grasp the potential of this and let me tell you we are really busy pushing the boundaries. We will keep pushing updates and new features and i hope we will also see amazing new scenes released on RjDj during the next couple of month. Thanks again to all the artists, producers, dj's and hackers releasing scenes on RjDj. And of course thanks to all the listeners, who have managed not only to install a lot of scenes but also to send us those 20.000 recordings. To celebrate, we just switched one of the newest scenes from the kids on dsp to free. Go and get it :-)
