CHROMENEWS
We used to send you the records. Now we hand you the decks.
Chrome Music is back with an app: YUM YUM. A DJ desk in your pocket, your own records, and our sound right next to it.
Your records.
Your hands.
Pick the next record, hit MIX and it lands on the beat. Fire a horn, cut it up, or scratch the platter. This is a taste of the desk inside the app.
Drag a record to scratch · tap a pad · hit MIX
Bring your own music
Upload your tracks. The app finds the beat for you, so everything you mix lands in time. Your collection stays private.
Your own effects on the pads
Shout-outs, jingles, horns. Load your own sounds and fire them mid-mix, the way DJs always have.
Pick a DJ.
Get a whole night.
Don't feel like mixing? Choose a DJ and press one button. He picks every next record, mixes it in on the beat and throws in his own effects. It's not a playlist and not a recorded mixtape: the mix happens live, and it's different every time.
Chrome Music was one of the earliest music blogs. From 2004 on, labels, from independents to the majors, sent us their promos so DJs could download and play them. We were a record pool for laptops.
At the same time we pushed our own sound: the YUM YUM parties, our remixes and our mixtapes. Today the records come with beat grids, and the decks fit in your pocket.
Play music.
Level up.
The app works like a game. Everything you do earns points. Points take you up the levels, 66 of them, each with its own name. And every level unlocks something: a rare track, a new DJ, an extra. Nothing to buy. You play your way in.
Get the app.
It's free.
YUM YUM runs in your browser. One tap adds it to your home screen, and from then on it looks and works like any other app.
- Free. No App Store, no subscription, no sign-up.
- Listen right away: mixtapes from us and from our friends.
- Unlocked with an invite code: the DJ desk and the YUM YUM record collection. No code yet? Someone you know has one, or win one in the quiz.

Spin the past.
Land in the app.
Before the app there was the blog. Spin the wheel and pull out a post from back then. Every one of them leads somewhere new.
Hit the red button. The wheel decides.
One more thing.
