What is it?

Mixxx is free DJ software for performing live mixes. It runs on GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS, and is aimed at DJs who want a complete mixing setup without buying commercial software.

The project covers the core workflow of live performance: loading and playing tracks, mixing between decks, and controlling playback. Mixxx supports a range of MIDI and HID controllers, so hardware can be used alongside the on-screen interface. Skins can be created to customize the look of the interface.

The project is developed on GitHub with a stable release channel for live use and development builds for testing. Contributors can follow the build instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md, and the team coordinates through GitHub Issues, a Zulip chat and a forum.
