Youmix is a Web 2.0 social networking site for musicians and fans, featuring user profiles, friends, mp3s, photos, groups and forums. Youmix builds relationships by connecting artists and listeners. Using the embedded Flash player, site visitors can listen to music and watch videos uploaded by bands and can add songs to their personal playlist.

Youmix has shown exponential growth, both in the number of users and uploaded content (photos and mp3). The project has been widely featured in the German media, including several newspapers and TV stations. In May 2007, Youmix launched "Project Famous". Every band that successfully invites 5.000 people to the platform (directly or through a Flash widget provided by Youmix) gets funding for their first record. Youmix is financed through venture capital provided by several well-known German investors.

Youmix runs on YMC Volano, a 100% eZ publish compliant extension. It will form the basis for two other social networking startups that are expected to launch in 2007.
