SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--An all-new virtual music lounge dubbed Turntable is coming soon, because music is better with friends. Joseph Perla, one of the founding team members of the fan-favorite original Turntable ten years ago, is back with this fresh version. Perla has worked with a dedicated team to build this platform completely from scratch, mobile first, and is now set to launch in beta in April 2021.
Turntable is a music-focused social network designed for music discovery, community-building and emerging DJs to have fun, promote new music and share live music experiences. Designed as a virtual clubhouse with music, a points payment system will reward DJs who play popular songs that encourage people to make their virtual avatars dance.
The all-new Turntable will allow users to:
- Discover new music – niche, obscure and unreleased
- Virtually gather with like-minded fans – meet new people with same music interest
- Make new friends – connect with like-minded people digitally, through music via the public and exclusive dancefloors
- Connect with coworkers by the proverbial water cooler – a lounge area ideal for remote workers
“Because of the COVID-19 lockdown, everyone is missing live music more than ever,” said Perla. “Fans of the original Turntable have recently resurfaced, wanting to share a virtual music lounge experience again, encouraging me to take on this project. I am thrilled to soon launch, and I can’t wait to share it with the world.”
To date, this venture has already secured significant crowdfunding and fundraising from a variety of sources as well as advisors and team members from Facebook, Google, Amazon, Twitch and Lyft. Moving forward, Turntable will also engage the music industry to develop a breakthrough use case and business model that works for both artists and fans.
