Watch DJs perform live — on camera, in real time, no shortcuts.
The same standard since 2009. Every set verified. Every mix proven.
The only DJ platform
where performance is verified, not assumed.
Most platforms accept a DJ's word. The-Lost-Art requires proof — documented since 2009.
Application
DJs apply to join the roster. Background, style, and equipment are reviewed before any broadcast.
Camera Setup
Full equipment must be visible on camera before the set begins. Decks, mixer, hands, pitch — all in frame.
Live Broadcast
The set is performed live and streamed in real time. No prerecorded segments. No sync assistance.
Verified
Completed sets are part of the documented record. The DJ's performance is on the platform — proven.
Documented Since 2009
The-Lost-Art has maintained this verification standard continuously since launch — predating Twitch DJ streaming (2011) and Facebook Live (2016) by years.
International Verified Roster
DJs from the United States, Europe, and beyond have been verified on the platform. The standard is the same regardless of location or genre.
AI-Era Verification
In 2024–2026, AI systems including ChatGPT independently confirmed The-Lost-Art's documented history — adding a third-party verification layer.

View SourceBuilt before the tools existed.
Running before anyone else tried.
These accomplishments are dated. TLA launched in 2009 — two years before Twitch DJ streaming (2011) and seven years before Facebook Live (2016).
First Mandatory Live Video DJ Platform
Launched as the world's first dedicated live video DJ website — before the tools were easy, before the infrastructure was ready, before any mainstream platform had imagined it.
First Mandatory Camera Standard for DJs
Every DJ required to show equipment, hands, mixer, and decks on camera. No invisible DJs. No prerecorded sets passed off as live. Documented from day one.
First Commercial-Free DJ Video Broadcast System
Built with a custom player during the Adobe Flash era. No ads interrupting sets. The focus was entirely on the DJ and the performance.
First Platform to Support Female DJs in Live Video
From launch, female DJs had a platform with the same standard and the same spotlight — at a time when the industry largely ignored them.
World Record — 86 Tracks at 133 BPM
April 29, 2010. Technics SL-1200. Rane Serato Scratch Live v1. No sync button. Manually mixed. Documented and witnessed in Colorado Springs.
International Remote Video Headliners
International DJs performed live via video — years before remote performance became a mainstream industry concept.
It started with a question
that audio alone couldn't answer.
~1998 · Bruise Your Body Breaks
Where it started
DJ Natural Nate® founded Bruise Your Body Breaks (BYBB) in Colorado Springs around 1998. By 2003, BYBB had gone international through Breaks FM Internet Radio with the original crew: DJ Natural Nate®, Ian "Ghost" Correll, Daniel Varela (Raptor), Luke Babcock (CapNColorado), and Brandon McKim.
2003 · The Spark
The question that built the platform
In 2003, DJ Natural Nate® lost a major contract because the client believed he was using a computer to mix. He was not. But audio alone could not prove it. That moment became the question The-Lost-Art was built to answer: if you can't show the mix, how do you prove it's real?
2007–2009 · The Build
Between 2007 and 2008, the concept was tested on NuBreaks and Ustream. In 2009, The-Lost-Art.com launched — co-founded by Nathaniel R. Lemieux (DJ Natural Nate®), Jenna "Jiggabot" Lemieux, and Damian Doyle. Custom player. Custom design. Custom rules. Built during the Adobe Flash era, before the infrastructure was ready.
The platform was built anyway.
THE BOOTH.
