Live DJ guide

Apply for DJ access, use DJ Studio, crates, sets, and live shows when broadcast is enabled.

Updated Oct 11, 2026

Who this is for

Live DJs on Rythora Create mix, prepare crates, record sets, and (when enabled) broadcast to listeners on Rythora Listen. DJ is a separate Create surface role from Podcast host and Playlist curator.

How you get access

Public apply at /apply/dj when dj_onboarding_enabled is on (no account required), then create your Create account with the same email, or
Staff invite / grant from Admin Creator Access

Activation of the dj role does not by itself mean:

a verification badge
permission to go live
recording export
payout eligibility

Those require additional flags, rights grants, and policy.

DJ Studio	`/create/dj/studio`
Crates	`/create/dj/crates`
Recorded sets	`/create/dj/sets`
Live shows	`/create/dj/shows`

Podcast Studio remains at /create/studio — do not use it for DJ performance.

Step by step

Apply or accept invite; wait until Overview shows an Active DJ role.
Upload your DJ logo on Overview.
Build Crates from eligible tracks (grant-scoped).
Open DJ Studio when the studio flag is on.
Use Live Shows only when broadcast + LiveKit are configured.
Listeners discover live mixes on Listen (Live DJ Mixes, /dj, live join URLs).

Rights and royalties

Eligible tracks come from track_use_grants scopes (private / live / record / replay / export as configured).
Cue, loop, and practice loads are not Listen master royalty stream_events.
Live and replay earnings stay pending until commercial allocation rules are published.
