The app is a hyper-contemporary platform for music and culture, supporting underground communities, emerging artists, and local scenes across Europe. The goal was to design an app interface that seamlessly integrates live-streamed DJ sets, events, and radio while capturing the energy of youth culture. My task was to create high-fidelity mockups that align with the clients wishes while embodying the spirit of underground music culture.

Project Description

Design Rationale

When designing the app, I focused on visually amplifying the energy of underground artists. Many of these musicians already have a strong and interesting visual identity, so I built the design around showcasing their unique personalities. I experimented with bold typography, and a color palette that feels both contemporary and refined, balancing the DIY energy of underground scenes with a more polished, modern design.
‍
The design was also inspired by old-school billboards as cultural gathering points. I incorporated playful yet structured typography to create a sense of movement —mirroring the dynamic feel of local underground scenes. The result is a hub for subcultures, a digital space where music, art, and community meet.
