JOIN THE LIVE VIRTUAL PARTY!
At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, most people were isolated in their homes. In these uncertain times, DJ Ricky Recon wanted to do something to reach out and break up the monotony, and help anyone that may have felt like they were alone. The live DJ stream was then launched! This has developed into a musical entertainment show where everyone around the world can join for free, chat together and make requests, bringing the world a sense of togetherness without physically being together.
