The challenge

Deezer set out to remove the barriers between streaming platforms and make music sharing effortless.
We asked ourselves: how can people truly enjoy music together if they’re not all on the same app?
How can we help them discover who shares their taste and connect through what they love most — music?

The vision

Our goal was to help people connect through music — to make every listener unique, yet part of a shared community.
We aimed to enable users to share, compare, and experience music together in meaningful, social ways.

The outcome

Shaker brings together users who share similar music tastes and lets them co-create a playlist that evolves in real time.
It turns music into a shared, social experience — like a “music Tinder” for playlists.
