Live track detection
Detects the current track from Pioneer DJ Link and Rekordbox setups, keeping the room in sync with the booth.
Inspired by Japanese listening bars
Obi detects the currently playing track from Pioneer/Rekordbox setups and projects album artwork to a wall, projector, TV, or second display.
Obi 帯 takes its name from the paper strip wrapped around Japanese records and CDs, giving the sleeve identity and context.

A ritual, reimagined.
In Japanese listening bars, the record sleeve is often placed on display while the music plays. It gives the room a visual anchor: the selector, the record, the artwork, and the moment all connected.
Obi brings that ritual into digital DJ sets, giving Pioneer and Rekordbox users a clean way to show the artwork without changing how they play.
