The weekly rhythm
A new playlist, every Friday.
No endless algorithms, no infinite scroll. Just a handful of tracks someone actually chose for you.
Mon – Thu
Pick your songs
The curator of the week searches for tracks and picks their favourites. Choose wisely — everyone will hear this.
Thursday
Lock in before midnight
Picks close Thursday night. Miss the deadline and you wait until next week.
Friday 8am
The drop
The playlist goes live. Watch and listen on YouTube, and judge accordingly.
All week
Vote and gloat
In Battle mode, vote on whose half was better. The winner gets the bragging rights they deserve.
Pick your format
Two ways to settle it.
Every circle picks one. You can always start another with the other mode.
Showcase Mode
Everyone gets a turn
One person curates per week, rotating through everyone in the circle. Nobody sits out. When the last person has gone, the rotation shuffles and starts again.
Battle Mode
Who has better taste?
Two people go head-to-head. Each submits their own songs, which get shuffled into one anonymous playlist. The circle listens and votes. Nobody knows who picked what until the admin hits reveal.
This week on Friday DJ
Eurovision Mania
Alongside your circle's playlists, Friday DJ ships a global weekly playlist — ten songs handpicked by the DJ. No algorithm, no sponsored tracks. Just ten songs worth your time.

Questions
The quick stuff.
Is Friday DJ free?+
Yes. It’s free while we’re in beta. If we ever charge, existing circles keep what they have.
How does playback work?+
Songs play via YouTube — no extra accounts or subscriptions needed. Search for any track, add it, and it plays in-app.
Do I have to submit every week?+
Only if it’s your turn. In Showcase mode, one person curates per week on a rotation. In Battle mode, only the two battlers submit — everyone else votes.
Is there a size limit on circles?+
Not really. Circles work best with 3–30 people — small enough that your picks actually matter, big enough to have a healthy disagreement.
You obviously have the best taste.
Now prove it. Create a circle, invite your friends, and settle it by Friday.
