The Selector: Shuffle through 72,000 DJ sets
· re:union Radio editorial · 1 min read
The Selector is a new platform that aggregates over 72,000 online DJ sets, allowing listeners to play mixes at random without algorithms.
Random DJ mixes at the touch of a button
DJ and producer The Cat Rave has created a new online platform called The Selector. The website currently compiles over 72,000 online DJ sets from across 58 channels, including Kiosk Radio, NTS Radio, Rinse, The Lot Radio, Seoul Community Radio, and DJ Mag.
Features and navigation
The service operates entirely without user profiles, advertisements, or algorithmic profiling. Listeners can choose between four basic options:
- All
- Popular
- Hidden Gems
- Niche
Once an option is selected, the platform delivers a set via the „pick me a set“ command. In addition, mixes can be filtered by musical genre.
Project origins
Speaking to DJ Mag, the creator explained that he originally designed the site for his own use. Frustrated by prolonged searching that often led back to familiar recordings, he aimed for a simple, radio-like switch that avoids tracking listening habits.
Sorting incoming sets by genre remains the most time-consuming task due to the constant influx of new material. However, the core experience stays focused on delivering instant musical surprises at the push of a button.
