DopaBeat Guide
One Song, Every Phone: Listening Together in Essen
Quick answer
DopaBeat is the simplest way for people in Essen to share one live soundtrack — one host DJs, everyone else joins in seconds and shapes the queue, and every listener hears the same moment of the same song.
Between party nights in the converted halls of Zeche Zollverein and everything else Essen is celebrated for, there's no shortage of moments worth a soundtrack. DopaBeat makes sure that soundtrack belongs to everyone present — same song, same second, on every phone and browser in the group.
Together in Essen, even when you're apart
In one flat in Essen or scattered across the whole city, the experience is identical: everyone hears the same moment of the same song. DopaBeat syncs playback on every phone and on the web listen page, so distance stops mattering the second the party starts.
Joining is a five-second job
Nobody in Essen should miss a session because joining was a hassle. DopaBeat offers three doors: scan the QR, type the short code, or open the web link in a browser — that last one needs no account and no install at all.
Everyone in Essen gets a say
One playlist, many authors: every listener in Essen can search a massive YouTube-powered catalog and drop tracks into the shared queue. Votes float the crowd's favourites upward, so what plays next is genuinely the group's decision, not one person's guess.
Start your first session in Essen
It takes less time to start than to explain: create a party, show the QR or text the link, and friends in Essen join from the app or a browser. From there the group builds the queue and DopaBeat keeps every listener on the same beat.
