How it works
Built for DJs
Unique playlists
Rinse exclusive copies of music only YOU own and only YOU can play. Our security mechanism ensures that the copy you purchase is the copy you own. You will have visibility into how many copies of your music exist ensuring the rarity of your collection.
Protected marketplace
Buy and sell limited edition music in your collection. Securing music files enables you to resell music you previously purchased, opening up financial possibilities for the hard work you put into curating your collection.
Support artists
Make sure artists get paid for every copy that exists in the market. Artists who use our platform exclusively will be able to verify all copies sold and ensure they are compensated for their work.

What is Disci
Background
We got sick of seeing so many talented artists struggling to get by financially at the expense of powerful corporations. In a world where streaming pays next-to-nothing and record sales pay very little, artists are faced with pervasive a dilemma. We want artists to make more art, which requires financial security. So, we set out to build a new way for artists to distribute their music and take the power back. After many late nights of blood, sweat and caffeine…we bring to you: DISCI.
Solution
We can only share so much at this stage. In short, Disci will enable producers and DJs to collect music in a whole new light, guaranteeing individual ownership of unique digital files. Our technology protects each and every file that is sold, disallowing collectors from copying and sharing your music. Think of it like a vinyl record in digital format: limited supply, only the rightful owner can access/play the files.
About
About Disci
Our ultimate goal is to bring financial freedom to artists. We are doing this by building a platform that protects digital music files for DJs and dance music record producers. Since the inception of the digital music format the industry has been decimated by P2P file sharing. The digital format allows buyers to share files with anyone which has ultimately killed the music selling industry. Artists now mostly rely on performances, and social media strategies to generate real revenue.
This is especially detrimental to underground electronic artists who normally don't sell records at volume. The quality of music has also diminished as artists need to increase their output to generate more revenue. Deejaying vinyl records has made a resurgence mostly due to this issue as it enforces scarcity with a large reduction in file copying. We are building the technology that makes it possible for music to once again have the properties that incentivize purchasing.
Remembering the days where everyone was a collector, with their own music collection, its something we yearn for these days.
DJs are one of the only consumers who still need to buy, download, and physically transport digital music files. Most other music listeners consume music via streaming services. We are able to create digital scarcity of music files, while allowing only those users who own such files the right and ability to play them.
Our Vision
As creators ourselves we are extremely passionate about music and our inspiration for creating this product comes from a desire to give power back to creators. By improving inefficiencies within the music industry and developing new creative ways of distributing music we can give artistic freedom to musicians, producers, and DJs. Instead of creating content and dealing with social algorithms, artists can focus on their craft. The goal is to enhance their livelihoods so that they can achieve their dreams and continue to create to their hearts desire. Our vision goes beyond this however. We also want to inspire and challenge artists to establish a voice that sets them apart from others. We want to do this by encouraging high quality output and collecting music that is unique.
Our ever evolving vision
Liberate musicians and create lasting financial freedom to foster the continued creation of their art. Create a world in which every music producer and DJs has a completely unique artistic style that sets them apart. Enhance the quality/value and appreciation of music, not solely through its price, but by garnering love and attention to it. Foster a community of like minds that become inspired by each other.
