AccuRadio introduces "AccuDNA"


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AccuRadio proudly introduces AccuDNA™: The world’s first online radio service playing music crafted to each listener’s genetic profile

Because your genes know your jams

CHICAGO (3/31/25) — The music programming team at AccuRadio has always believed that music is deeply personal. But what if they told you they could personalize it even more — in fact, down to your very chromosomes? 

Thanks to a new relationship with an undisclosed but recently-in-the-news genetic testing firm, AccuRadio CEO/Founder Kurt Hanson today announced the debut tomorrow of AccuDNA™, a revolutionary new AccuRadio feature that analyzes your genetic code to determine your perfect music playlist. 

HOW IT WORKS:  

Using proprietary AI-driven bio-informatics, AccuDNA™ takes into account:

  • Genetic disposition for rhythm & melody – Born with the funk? We’ll boost your soul and jazz recommendations. Have a punk rock gene? Get ready for some high-energy anthems.

  • Ancestral music preferences – Got Viking DNA? Time for some Nordic metal or classic hits by the Scandinavian groups ABBA and A-ha. Does your DNA trace back to 16th-century Scotland? Depending on your calendar and/or biological age (as determined in part by your chromosomes’ telomeres), either Scottish indie rock or bagpipes it is.

  • Time-of-day circadian syncing – Your DNA knows when you should be sleepy, even if you ignore it. AccuDNA™ will gently adjust your playlists accordingly! (No death metal at bedtime; instead, AccuDNA™ may segue to some melancholy Sinatra ballads.)

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR DNA SAMPLE: 

AccuDNA™ uses an innovative, frictionless submission process that seamlessly integrates into your daily routine. Just follow these six easy steps: 

  1. Prepare your device — Open AccuRadio on your laptop, tablet, or phone and navigate to the AccuDNA™ section.

  2. Submit a sample — Spit directly onto your trackpad, phone screen, or, as the preferred method, if your device has one, into your USB-C port. (More saliva = More accurate results!)

  3. Let AI do the work Our advanced "Bio-Rhythm AI" will instantly scan your DNA, using futuristic glowing lines and several minutes of scrolling blocks of numbers and acronyms.

  4. Provide more data — Some users may be prompted to provide additional background information by sharing additional genetic material. Assuming your device has the aforementioned USB-C port, your additional genetic material could include tears, sweat, skin flakes, hair, blood (if convenient), etc. (As for other types of genetic material, let your imagination be your guide!)

  5. Wait for your personalized playlist — AccuDNA™ deciphers your genetic code to curate a playlist tailored to who you are at a molecular level. Expect anything from acid jazz or hits from the summer of 1971 to medieval lute solos—or maybe just ‘Dad Rock’ if that’s your what your chromosomes seems to call for. (Wait time should be less than 8 minutes per hour of music programming requested.)

  6. Enjoy & evolve! –Keep refreshing your genetic sample for new and improved recommendations. (“The more you spit, the smarter we get!”)

WHAT’S NEXT?   

We’re working on integrations with smart refrigerators (to fine-tune a playlist even further based on your current diet), wearable tech (e.g., using data from a watch or ring that detects your hydration levels (“Dehydrated? Here’s some smooth jazz”)), and pet DNA services (so your dog, if left at home with some music playing, gets a soundtrack appropriate for his or her breed). 

AccuDNA™ is rolling out tomorrow, the first day of the new calendar quarter.  Enjoy!
