Editor's Overview

SideDeck is a local media player application developed by Manuel Jiménez, packaged as a single Android APK of version 1.1 weighing in at 19.95 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 19.95 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Manuel Jiménez" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

SideDeck is a free, open-source DJ app for Android. Mix local files on dual decks, or plug in a USB mixer such as the Teenage Engineering EP-136 K.O. Sidekick and mix on the hardware. No monthly subscription, no paywall, no premium tier.

MIX ON THE PHONE, OR ON HARDWARE

Use SideDeck as a standalone DJ app: landscape dual decks, waveforms, 3-band EQ, filter, and a crossfader. Or connect a USB mixer and send Deck A and Deck B out as separate stereo channels so you EQ, cue, and mix on the device.

SideDeck is built to work with the Teenage Engineering EP-136 K.O. Sidekick. Connect the EP-136 over USB, set Sidekick USB mode to Multi, and enable the external mixer in SideDeck. Deck A and Deck B go out separately so you can mix on the EP-136. The on-screen EQ and crossfader step aside so you're mixing on the hardware, not fighting a software mixer.

Other USB mixers that can take Deck A and Deck B as separate outputs work the same way.

YOUR MUSIC, YOUR SERVER

SideDeck plays tracks from your phone and from a Subsonic music server. Point it at any Subsonic-compatible library, browse albums and tracks, and download them to the device.

Load music from folders on the phone. Analyze BPM and musical key on load. The library highlights keys that sit well with what's already on a deck.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Dual-deck landscape DJ layout with waveforms
• Sync, loops, BPM nudge and jump
• Internal mixer: 3-band EQ, filter, crossfader
• USB out to the Teenage Engineering EP-136 K.O. Sidekick (and similar mixers)
• Subsonic browse and download
• Local library with BPM and key analysis

FREE AND OPEN SOURCE

SideDeck is GNU GPL v3 software. There is no subscription, no in-app DJ "pro" unlock. If you want a DJ app that works with the Teenage Engineering EP-136 K.O. Sidekick, talks to a Subsonic server, and stays free, this is it.

Requires Android 8.0 or later. USB host (OTG) on the phone if you use an external mixer such as the EP-136 K.O. Sidekick.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SideDeck free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does SideDeck require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is SideDeck safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Manuel Jiménez. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update SideDeck?
Install the newer version on top of the old one — Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
