Rocudo
Rocudo Site

Rocudo is an online music community based in Ireland where music fans can discover and remix new music from various Dj's. The service is a platform that aims to give Dj's a platform to host and promote their latest music where their fans can discover it and share it on their social networking pages. Rocudo allows Dj's to upload their music to a Rocudo remix widget along with their biography and other general information.

History

Rocudo was founded by CEO Culann mac Cabe in 2007 and its remixing technology has advanced from a downloadable desktop application to a live feature on the site. Rocudo aims to follow the trend of the digitalization of musical content and gives Dj's an online platform to promote and sell their music as well as other products. They offer registered artists a stats page whereby they can show who's doing what with their music and exact locations to where it's turning up online. The Rocudo website contains a remix and promotional widget which can both be shared to numerous social networking sites.

Investors

Rocudo is funded by its founders, private international individuals and Enterprise Ireland, an Irish State body for business support.

Tax Relief for Irish Tax Payers Rocudo is a BES-qualifying company, which means that an investor who pays Irish Tax can claim Tax Relief against the investment amount.

Technology

The Rocudo platform is built on a range of technologies, including:

Machine Listening: Advanced Digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms are used to analyse music files to determine meta-data such as BPM and beat-marker.

Real time Generative Music: The availability of these markers in conjunction with the audio file allows users to easily create Musical loops and allows the Rocudo player to automatically beat-match loops to play in sync.

Portable Widget: While all Rocudo content and technologies reside “in the cloud”, Rocudo makes it available via a set of Flash Widget which allow users to create a personalized “mini-portal” to their content which may be posted to a social networking web page and which may be subsequently virally shared.
