eJay is a series of musical arrangement[1] software and games, primarily for Microsoft Windows. The first edition, Dance eJay, was released in 1997,[2] supports eight tracks of audio and, as with its successors, permits the arrangement of sound bites by a drag-and-drop interface.[1][3] Since the original Dance eJay, there have been many releases catering to different music genres and users, including techno[4] and hip-hop[5] as well as a PlayStation 2 edition.[6]
In May 2009, a note posted to eJay's official Facebook page stated that Empire Interactive Europe Limited, the company that owned and developed the eJay products, was in Administration. "The intellectual property, or the 'rights' to sell eJay products are now owned by a different company. Only this new owner can legally produce eJay products or licence other people to do so. They do not have to provide support, and they would probably not be in a position to do so in any case.".[7]
On 15 October 2010, three eJay products were reissued in editions: Hip Hop 5, Dance 6 and DJ Mixstation 4, with Hip Hop 5 and Dance 6 now having twice the number of sound samples than they had originally (10,000 instead of 5,000). Also on the same date, a new software called Video & Music Exchange was released.
