SkateFM

Skate jams 24/7 with live DJs

iPhone & iPad DJ web platform Mac app for DJs On the App Store

A from-scratch radio platform that lets skate DJs run their own stations, go live from Serato with video, and connect with listeners and skating rinks.

Its own streaming engine, a native iPhone and iPad app, a web platform for DJs, rinks and admins, and a Mac app for broadcasting live, all built by QuantiphAi in 2026. Every station plays free in the app, no account needed.
