The Art of Making Music Fun Again
Sign Up for Private Testing
8trk is social music project built by some of the world's biggest music fans, for the world's biggest music fans.
Use of the system is currently limited and private. Visit 8trk.com to get invited.
8trk is excited to announce that, in association with an amazing web developer John Kleijn, we have launched a new PHP Web application framework, named “Phreamp”.
Phreamp is an open source (GPLed) technology focused on creating the structure needed to create a reliable, enterprise grade application quickly, without losing flexibility. It is, in fact, the very backend framework that 8trk is using for 8trk.com
The current state of the project is pre-alpha, though the Controller and View layers are already fully functional. The Data Layer is currently being developed.
We are currently looking for additional volunteers to flesh out the functionality of Phreamp. Have a look at the join page
Be sure to check out phreamp.org.
Dear family, friends, readers and people who have stumbled here by accident,
If you haven’t yet, please take notice of 8trk’s new homepage. It’s reflective of our new design and a preview of what’s under the hood. A special thanks to our friends over at FluidDesign.

This past Wednesday, Feb 11th, 8trk allowed a handful of family, friends and potential investors to try out the technology live. Although the preview was very limited, on purpose, it was exciting to see people adding and editing and bookmarking artists. The general impression seems to be that 8trk is easy to use and will be alot more fun to play around with as the content and features grow.
The preview will lead us right into the prrivate alpha so if you haven’t signed up yet to be a part, please do. If you have, you will soon have your turn to 8trk!
And the digital pirates said, “Let there be a new Lilly Allen album”.
And it was. And it was good.
DJ Hero, that’s right folks, is coming. According to comments by Activision Blizzard chief Bobby Kotick, “We have this product called DJ Hero coming out later this year, which is a turntable that you actually can play competitively and spin discs and mix songs.
Wow, I have to say I was baselessly uninterested in the whole Guitar Hero/Rock Band thing until recently. I now see the brilliance behind it because it introduces a unique experience around music which is what’s needed to profit from music anymore.
I have the Guitar Hero band set now - it’s awesome! I wonder what my DJ friends will do with this. My advie is don’t let me get good at this game and take their gigs - LOL.
