DopaBeat: The Soundtrack for Saint-Étienne Cookouts
Quick answer
DopaBeat is the cookout app for Saint-Étienne backyards — one shared queue fed by every guest, votes ranking the requests, and playback synced on every phone across the yard.
In a place known for the Positive Education festival's devoted electro following, a Saint-Étienne cookout is an all-day affair — too long for any pre-built playlist. DopaBeat lets every guest extend the queue as the day rolls on, voting favorites up while playback stays synced across the whole yard.
From first coals to last light in Saint-Étienne
A Saint-Étienne BBQ stretches across an entire afternoon, and DopaBeat stretches with it: early guests set the mellow opening, the mid-day crowd lifts the tempo, and the evening holdouts queue the sunset songs. The playlist never runs dry because the yard keeps writing it.
DJ without leaving the grill
The host of a Saint-Étienne BBQ is pinned to the grill, and DopaBeat is built around that: guests supply the requests, votes do the sorting, and DJ duty shrinks to a glance between flips — approve, reorder, skip, back to the ribs.
Neighbors, cousins, kids — one Saint-Étienne queue
Half the guests at a Saint-Étienne BBQ will never install an app on the spot, and they don't have to — the web listen link opens the live queue in any browser, no account needed. The free app on iOS and Android adds voting power for the invested.
Covering a whole Saint-Étienne backyard with sound
Backyards in Saint-Étienne eat speaker range — the far table barely hears the patio. With DopaBeat, playback syncs on every joined phone and the web listen page, so the horseshoe crowd and the porch crowd share the same moment even when the speaker doesn't reach.
