Over the years of being a DJ, playing and digging music, I’ve experienced a lot of sounds that create certain feelings. This process of discovering music always took a lot of time and recently I’ve found myself with a lot of material that I did not have time to get into, but wanted to discover in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Which is - tracks perfectly mixed together. So, I’ve created a little software/music art project.

I crawl the internet in search of new underground, (ro) minimal sounds to be mixed live by a custom, audio processing setup that was created to emulate normal Dj.

The tracks are mixed live in an unattended way, chosen semi-randomly in sets (ordered by BPM). Ready to be discovered!

The software stack is ffmpeg+python with some pre-trained ML models for beat detection.

Track discovery happens via bot on the Telegram platform (https://t.me/ROminimal_club), where to get track ID, users are asked to rate the energy level (of whatever you see those ratings mean) of a currently playing track. This is saved as his library for his future reference via private msg.

1. Go to https://ROminimal.club website and listen to the radio stream (also live video with randomly mixed content and current dj actions -- https://io.rominimal.club/ 2. Start a chat with CrossFader bot https://t.me/xFadeBot 3. Rate the energy level of tracks in the main group to reveal ID. Enjoy! example: https://t.me/ROminimal_club/7426

## What do our fans say? (Blaz) - I like how you organised your channel. You have implemented very clever gamification. And the music is top notch. My admiration. (Escobi) - some dope bangers here, i start listening 5 hours ago and still listening. Big up for this great project! The bombs are planted so great! (Lisa) - Best thing that happened on the internet in the past 10 years!
