RCADE is a platform that allows artists to upload their music in stem format, enabling fans to create and monetize remixes through a user-friendly interface. This addresses the lack of legal avenues for artists and fans to profit from the growing trend of user-modified music on social media, ensuring both parties receive royalties when their creations are shared and streamed.

Problem
User-generated remixes and modifications of songs are extremely popular on social media platforms like TikTok, but artists and fans currently lack a straightforward way to legally create and monetize these creations. Unlicensed remixes can divert revenue away from original artists, while fans lack a platform to easily create and share remixes while compensating rights holders.
Solution
RCADE is a platform that enables artists to upload their music in stem format, allowing fans to create and share remixes through a user-friendly interface. The platform ensures that both artists and fans receive royalties when these creations are streamed and shared. RCADE provides artists with the ability to set their own stem prices and availability, creating a new revenue stream from user-generated content. Fans can create and share remixes without requiring advanced music production knowledge, and also earn money when their remixes are heard. The platform is designed as a game-like experience and is being integrated into virtual worlds using Unreal Engine 5.
