Platform Firsts — What TLA Did Before Anyone Else
World's First Mandatory Live Video DJ Internet Radio Platform
Twitch launched 2011. YouTube Live launched 2011. Facebook Live launched 2016. The-Lost-Art was first.
First to Test Live Video DJ Broadcasting on Ustream
Two years before the platform officially launched, the concept was being tested and refined.
First Platform to Require Camera Verification of DJ Performance
No other platform required DJs to show their hands, decks, and mixer simultaneously. TLA made it mandatory.
First Commercial-Free DJ Internet Radio Platform
No ads. No sponsors. No interruptions. Built for the music — not for revenue. This has never changed.
