paradiso live / your playlist counts

ITunes Playlist Dating

ParaPlay is an immersive event at Amsterdam Paradiso showing the social relation between people and their musical preferences. While entering the event, visitors would upload their iTunes playlists and receive a unique number in return.

The suspense of the night is to see which person has the most songs in common with the rest of the audience. DJ Paul plays the top 50 most liked songs and visitors could up-vote a song by sending a text message.

Taking It to the Screen

A huge screen behind the DJs visualised the preferences; blue circles represented male visitors, red circles female visitors. The bigger your circle, the better your songs matched the taste of other visitors. At the end of the evening the person with most shared songs won an entrance ticket to Paradiso valid till the end of the year.
