How Dead and Co Streaming Mixlr Became the Perfect Virtual Party Solution

In the midst of lockdown, live shows and music festivals were forced to shut down, leaving music enthusiasts without their usual fix of community and celebration. However, with the power of technology, some innovative individuals decided to take matters into their own hands and create virtual events that would bring people together once again.

One such example is Dead and Co Streaming Mixlr, a digital platform that allowed fans to come together and enjoy live music from the comfort of their own homes. The concept was born out of necessity, as festivals like Indietracks were forced to cancel due to COVID-19 restrictions.

'I was really struck by how the community aspects of live shows that I love, like bumping into lots of familiar faces, were still there,' says Conway from Indietracks, a UK festival that raises money for conservation causes. 'In the early days of lockdown, I loved the weekly streamed shows from Specialist Subject Records.'

With the help of online concert platform SofaKing and streaming service Mixlr, Dead and Co Streaming Mixlr was able to bring together fans and artists alike in a virtual setting. The platform allowed users to hear live streams at the same time, complete with a chat facility for real-time interaction.

For Slovenly Records owner Pete Menchetti, it was more of a happy accident than a considered strategy. 'None of us at Slovenly had any idea how this streaming stuff worked,' he recalls. 'But then I found out about a streaming service called Mixlr, which allows everyone to hear the stream at the same time, so I uploaded a stream that could be played at any time on Mixcloud and had a live stream on Mixlr.'

The success of Dead and Co Streaming Mixlr was not limited to just one event. The platform has since been used for multiple digital festivals, with thousands of revelers participating in each virtual party.

So what makes the perfect virtual party? For Ian Watson, founder of London club night How Does It Feel To Be Loved?, it's all about community and connection. 'I was really struck by how the community aspects of live shows that I love were still there,' he says. 'We couldn't have done it without them.'

In conclusion, Dead and Co Streaming Mixlr has proven to be a game-changer in the music industry, allowing fans to come together and celebrate their shared love of music, even during times of lockdown. With its innovative use of technology and community-driven approach, this platform is sure to continue making waves in the virtual party scene.
