Djay is in the House

Three talented students from the Technical University of Munich created a brand new app for the Mac: a freeware that lets you simply be your very own disk jockey, minus the discs.

The program developed by Karim Morsy, Cristoph Teschner, and Federico Tessman known as Djay, allows for control over the mixing of your music over the Mac, and also lets you transmit the mixes through the Bonjour Network to other people with the same program. Djay supports all the usual music formats, and looks sweet on a Mac to boot.

Of course, you have to get it to work first. You’ll need Mac OS X Tiger (10.4), a PowerPC G4 800 MHz, 512 MB of RAM to get it to work, though higher is definitely better.
