Mugasha - the premier destination for electronic music from the best DJs worldwide - has offically opened its doors to the public.
A year of hard work has gone into creating a beautiful and functional portal for electronic music fan community to find sets (parsed by track) by their favorite DJs, along with information about them and tickets to upcoming shows. And there’s a lot more in the pipeline! Subscribe to their blog to keep up to date with all the exciting things they’ve got coming. For those of you that are particularly diehard, they have an auxiliary blog where fans can write posts too.
Mugasha was founded at Startup Weekend in Portland last summer. They were selected to be part of SXSW’s super competitive Accelerator program in March, where they had a bunch of publicity and a bunch of fun (”spring break for developers,” as described by cofounder/visionary Akshay Dodeja).
They’ve been featured on TechCrunch twice already since launch day:

Akshay was intereviewed by Robert Scoble in the early days, and there was a great post about Mugasha on ReadWriteWeb. They have been faithfully followed by Silicon Florist, a Portland tech blog, since the very beginning.
Cofounders Akshay Dodeja and Justin Thiele currently live in Portland, OR. They are the most dedicated startup guys I know, and I know a lot of startup guys. The two of them have bootstrapped the company thus far, but plan on expanding beyond the resources of their living rooms and interns in the future. Meanwhile, they will continue to add new sets by more world-famous DJs and explode the site with incredible features.
