Rekordbox just made DJing on your phone ridiculously easy with the new Lite modeAlready deep into Rekordbox but wish you had a simpler way to mix on the go? Maybe something you can fire up on your phone during commutes, holidays, or sofa sessions? Say hello to Lite mode, the brand new, stripped-back version of Rekordbox built right into the iOS and Android app.
Available now as part of Rekordbox 4.5.0, Lite mode offers a stripped-back, beginner-friendly experience that still feels legit. It’s free to use, super intuitive, and designed to get you mixing tracks on your smartphone or tablet in seconds, even if it’s your first time trying.

Lite mode’s interface is designed to keep things fun and frictionless. You get a pair of virtual decks with animated jog wheels and pulsing backgrounds that match your music’s beat and album art. It’s colourful, clean, reactive – and honestly, pretty hypnotic to watch.
Moving the on-screen crossfader intelligently and smoothly adjusts the tempo to transition from one song to the next. No beat matching is required. Plus, you can throw in echo and rhythm-based effects with those big on-screen buttons that don’t need a manual to figure out even for beginners. Visual feedback also appears on-screen with every tap, adding to the interactive nature.
If the two-deck setup feels like overkill, Single mode gives you just one track to focus on by displaying one track’s record artwork across the screen. Everything works in vertical orientation, too, making it super handy for commuting, chilling, or just zoning into a song and vibing with it in your own way.
And with support for popular music streaming services such as Apple Music, SoundCloud, Beatport, and Tidal, you can start mixing your favourite songs from your playlists or top track lists without even having any music stored on your device.
Once you’ve got the hang of Lite mode, you can switch to the full version of Rekordbox with a single tap. Everything’s designed to grow with you, with no pressure, no paywall in the way of the basics.
