DopaBeat Guide
The Road Trip Playlist App for Drives Out of Basel
Quick answer
For road trips starting in Basel, DopaBeat is the app to load before you leave: the driver's phone hosts and plays through the car stereo while every passenger requests and votes on songs from their own seat. Free on iOS and Android.
Being known for Art Basel week when the global party crowd flies in means Basel sees its share of great escapes by car. DopaBeat makes the hours between here and there collaborative: passengers request songs from a massive catalog, the car votes on the order, and the driver never touches a screen.
One queue for every seat out of Basel
The old Basel road trip ritual of handing a phone between seats is gone. With DopaBeat, requests come from wherever passengers sit, the vote count settles disputes, and the hosting phone stays mounted and untouched from the first kilometer to the last.
Drivers stay hands-free, passengers stay busy
On highways out of Basel, the most dangerous app is the one the driver has to touch. DopaBeat never asks them to — passengers manage the queue, votes handle the order, and a front-seat co-DJ can reorder and skip so the driver's hands never leave the wheel.
Music that lasts the whole drive from Basel
Pre-made playlists run out somewhere past Basel's outskirts; a live queue never does. Passengers keep feeding it hour after hour, matching the music to the moment — loud through the afternoon, mellow at dusk, energizing on the final stretch. The soundtrack adapts because the people choosing it are in the car.
Set up before you leave Basel
The whole ritual before leaving Basel: create party, share code, connect the host phone to the car, mount it. Passengers scan in with their cameras and start requesting — a friend meeting you later can even follow the queue from a browser via the web listen link.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do passengers join the car queue leaving Basel?
The host shares a short code or QR before you pull out of Basel; riders scan or type it and start requesting within seconds.
Is it safe for the driver to use on Basel highways?
The driver never needs to touch the app while moving — passengers handle requests and votes, and a co-DJ passenger can approve and skip on the driver's behalf.
Do riders need a streaming subscription for the drive out of Basel?
No. Requests come from a massive YouTube-powered catalog, so every passenger can add songs without paying for any music service.
Can our second car on the Basel trip hear the same music?
Yes — phones in both cars join one party and playback stays in sync, so the convoy shares a single soundtrack down the highway.
What if someone in the car doesn't have the app?
They can open the web listen link in a browser — no install, no account — and still follow the queue while others request from the app.
