mixr is a lean terminal DJ application for electronic music, published by Chris McLennan. The software falls into the category of DJ and music-mixing tools, but distinguishes itself through its terminal-based interface, offering a lightweight, keyboard-driven alternative to the graphical applications that dominate the DJ software space. Designed specifically with electronic music in mind, mixr targets DJs and electronic music enthusiasts who prefer minimal, efficient workflows inside a command-line environment. The application's feature set centers on three core capabilities. First, mixr integrates Beatport streaming, giving users direct access to Beatport's catalog of electronic music from within the terminal interface. Second, it provides AI-assisted mixing, which supports the mixing process through intelligent assistance rather than requiring every transition and blend to be executed entirely manually. Third, mixr supports hardware controllers, allowing users to connect physical DJ equipment to the application so that the tactile control of traditional hardware can be combined with the software's lean terminal workflow. Together, these features position mixr as a tool suitable for mixing electronic music sets, exploring and streaming tracks from Beatport, and performing with external controller hardware, all without leaving a terminal window. At present, mixr is available in version 0.1.3, and the catalog records a total of one published version. This single early release reflects the software's current stage of development, with 0.1.3 representing the latest and only version on record. As a lean application, mixr emphasizes a small footprint and streamlined operation, making it relevant to users who value performance and simplicity in their DJ tooling. Its combination of terminal-based operation, streaming service integration, AI-assisted mixing, and hardware controller support defines its purpose: delivering a focused DJ experience for electronic music within a minimal command-line application.
