SAN FRANCISCO — September 10th, 2026 — Press play, and a holographic digital host builds a branded world around the artist — connecting you with their shows, socials, and merch. Today that world got a soundtrack: Vibes + Logic is announcing a partnership with Audius, the largest open platform for independent music, bringing 1.5 million tracks and DJ sets into the Lumens app.
With this partnership, every Audius artist can claim their own Stage and invite their fans in. Every track and DJ set on Audius is plugged in and ready for its own world.
Press play on a Goshfather, and the screen becomes his world: his brand, his catalog, his shows, and his merch, with a tap to follow or request a show in your city. Even the waveform colors are on brand.
With Audius, a Lumen host is like Clippy DJing Winamp — but with taste, rhythm, and superpowers. They bring full-screen visuals, video, and room lighting that reinforce the energy and mood of the music, and the identity and branding of the artist. They aren't generic AI chatbots in hoodies. They are built for dance music culture — glowstick neon, vividly expressive, and a little weird, doing what they were born to do: bring the vibes to the party — music with lighting and visuals. The Lumens don’t just play the track — they load, build, and operate the artist’s Stage with every pixel and connected lightbulb dedicated to the artist.
Not a thumbnail.
The whole canvas.
The Lumen becomes a loyal, configurable, digital host — keeping the Stage current, the catalog front and center, and fans pointed toward the next show. It’s where fans can experience an artist's music and their visual world in one place — one that plays their DJ sets, shows and tracks, showcases their merch, and drives fans to their IRL shows, all at once.
Audius spent years building the music catalog the Lumens have been wishing for: deep, independent, with plenty of dance music. Browse tracks and DJ sets from artists like Skrillex, Wuki, Dillon Francis, and RL Grime, alongside the thousands of producers, DJs, and underground talent that make Audius what it is. And it's not just the new drops — a Stage brings old music back to life. That 2016 set you've played a hundred times hits different when the room becomes its world; it's the kind of thing you send a friend with "you have to see this."
Audius is for artists who value ownership, independence, and a direct relationship with their fans. That makes Audius a natural fit for the Lumens app – a place where artists don’t just share their music, but build a world around it.
"Artists pour everything into a release, and it lands as a row of links on a profile page. We built them a stage instead. At Vibes + Logic we’re building the music player experience as an immersive digital stage — one that pulls up on any fan screen, plays the music, showcases the merch, and points to the next show. Audius is where the music lives. We're the surface that brings it to life on every fan's screen — and a whole new reason for artists to upload their music on Audius."
"The Vibes + Logic and Audius integration showcases the incredible new possibilities created by programmable music," said Roneil Rumburg, co-founder and CEO of Audius. "Beautiful, immersive, and novel interactive experiences built by Vibes + Logic now have a native music layer from the Open Audio Protocol and Audius API layer. Over the years, when we've given artists new capabilities in Audius, they use and extend them in ways we never could have anticipated. We can't wait to see how artists use these new tools too."

The Lumens app didn't just get a music player — it became a theme park, where artists build themed Stages around a track, an album, or a DJ set release and invite fans in to experience their music in a playful and novel world. Fans can build their own Spaces too — dream worlds with custom playlists, a modern take on a fan music profile.
Internally, we called these experiences a "Digital Theme Park for Dance Music Fans." Themed lands for every music genre, each Stage its own world with its own story, and a journey that builds toward the main event. Instead of rides, there are Stages. Don't wait in line, let us bring the stage to you. It's a new format for what a song or a playlist can be — not a file to play, but a world to walk into. And the rides are just getting built.
Last update, we gave fans the tools to build their dream music stages. Now those spaces have music — 1.5 million tracks and DJ sets from Audius.
And the show doesn't have to stay on your screen. Next, your room becomes part of the venue. More on that next time.
For now: 1.5 million tracks and DJ sets. One playground. The doors are open.
