Music Magnet - Operating layer for music discovery using audio recognition

What it does

Music Magnet builds an operating layer for music discovery. Its first product, DJ.pro, uses audio-recognition technology to track which tracks are played in clubs, when and where. This captures dancefloor data that was previously unmeasured, turning analog sound into digital insights.

Who it is for

The platform is designed for venues, brands, and creators who want to listen first and then act on what they hear. Primary users include professional DJs and clubs, especially those in Europe where the initial beta is launching.

Why it matters

Music discovery has long relied on streaming data or manual reporting. Music Magnet provides real-time, granular data from physical dancefloors, enabling better playlist curation, trend spotting, and rights management. This fills a gap in the music analytics ecosystem.

Launch signal

Music Magnet is currently raising funds and has a roadmap: DJ.pro Public Beta in Q4 2026, commercial launch in Q1 2027, and a Series A planned for 2027+. The company is based in Paris and led by founder Frédéric Hérout.

Brand and naming

The name "Music Magnet" suggests attracting music and data, while the tagline "Always Listen First" emphasizes audio-first intelligence. The brand positions itself as an operating layer, implying infrastructure rather than a consumer app.
