Right Track Collective LLC is a software company of the DJ community, building for the community.
Founded in Seattle, WA, the collective is two crews aligned to one mission. A group of software engineers and designers who’ve spent years shipping products at places like Google, Microsoft and Amazon, so we know what it takes to build software people can rely on every day. And a group of working DJs who play out around the world and live with their libraries every week.
What we’re here for
We are building best-in-class tools for DJs, and using them to push the craft forward, not just keep up with it. Three things guide everything we make:
- The right experience. Design is in our DNA. We sweat how our software feels to use, because the best tools get out of the way and let you focus on the music.
- The right technology. Serious engineering in service of how DJs actually work: digging, prepping, playing, and moving between setups without fighting your software.
- The right track. It all starts with the music. The track, and the library you build around it, sits at the center of everything we do.
The engineers keep it solid. The DJs keep it honest. And all of us want the same thing: the best tools the DJ community has ever had.
What we make
Our flagship product is Otomaki, a desktop, web and mobile suite, built for DJs. It keeps one music library in sync with the DJ software you play on, and carries your cues, loops, beat grids and playlists across intact. Otomaki is built for macOS, iOS, Windows and Android.
