Playlists Database - A Community Project

I have had some time on my hands recently and to keep the devil away, i have built a Desktop application (win and Mac work, not tested on linux at this point) that will list verified playlists from current clubs with details of DJ, Track played, club name and location (town and country). I am well into the project and want to start adding in actual data so i thought i would throw this out there to see if any DJ’s want to take part?

So what’s it about, Joxer66? Basically the app lists the data in format – Artist*, Title*, Label*, DJ Name*, Club Name*, Venue, Town*, Country*, When played*

(* denotes required data)

e.g. The Puffs,I Only Cry One A Day Now,Dore,Joe Moran,Soundglasses,The Big Romance,Dublin,Ireland,2025/05/22

The app is fully searchable across all those data points so you can find all the tracks that Joe Moran played, or tracks played on 22^nd May 2025, or all the Dore occurrences etc. that are in the database and combine with any other data point to further drill down to what you want.

Each entry can then be searched for on Youtube, Spotify and Discogs (by launching browser window)

you can curate your own text lists of tracks you don’t know and these are exportable to .csv handy to have when out digging

There also some Statistics built into the app that lists Overview, Top Lists and Detailed Breakdown for the data nerds to chin-stroke over.

Use Cases:

Promoters can use it for checking out Deejays they want to book

Soulies can use it to check what clubs fit with their taste

DJs can look back on what they have played previously and put together a list to prep for next gig

And i guess its just a way for folk to check out tracks they don’t know via the external platforms (which is why i developed it initially!!)

What am i looking for? Whilst i am heavily biased towards Northern i recognize that in a lot of events there are fuzzy lines between genres but are enjoyed nonetheless by a wide selection of soulies so playlists in the above format played at Northern, Rare Soul, Mod etc. events.

What am i not looking for? Radio Shows or online Mixcloud type events.

A few things i want to stress about this project:

The app is non-commercial and data will not be used for advertising

Data supplied will remain in the ownership of the DJ

The only PII used will be DJ name – no email, phone number or anything else sought or required

Data will only be used with express consent of DJ and will be removed if that consent is withdrawn

All of the data will reside on your local machine and there are no external links (other than searches to specified platforms that you initiate) hidden in the code

The app is written in python over a MySql database so totally transparent to anyone with a txt editor

App launches via an .exe file and whole package will contain user guide FAQ and all that good stuff.

As more playlists come in i will be issuing Data updates and similarly if i introduce new functionality, that too will go out as upgrades with full install directions

And again, This is not commercial in any shape, manner or form

I have intentions to make the app available on Android and iOS but that's way down the line and subject to me reining in folk who can develop to those formats
