It is a new company and mobile app that enables you to vote for which songs should be playing in bars, restaurants, and cafes, making you the DJ. The runners-up were RootMusic and Next Big Sound, two companies that should be familiar to the Hypebot readers. The second award, for Best Bootstrapped Company, went to [Air Guitar](http://www.playairguitar.com/?ref=hypebot.com), which is an interactive game that enables you to partake in a rhythm based guitar game by setting up a web cam and air-strumming on a special shirt.
