Background Music for Bars & Pubs.
Music for shots, for shorts, for shaken and stirred, for lingering longer and ordering something stronger.

What’s a great pub customer experience?
Something customers tell friends about. Like a pub quiz played entirely through your phone and based on identifying songs you hear as you drink and chat with friends. It elevates a brand to distinction, with the atmosphere of all sites harmonising in unison. Ultimately it improves your bottom line.
CREATING A GREAT PUB EXPERIENCE ISN’T SO EASY.
But that’s where we can help. Music isn’t all we know, but it’s in our soul, and when blended with tech and our knowledge of behavioural science we create branded pub and bar solutions and experiences that sync perfectly in tune with your business objectives.
Behavioural Science in action, at the bar
Did you know that wine served and poured from a heavier bottle is perceived as having a more intense smell and as being of higher quality? While playing classical music can lead to higher spending than both no music and pop music and slow music encourages people to take their time - a useful tactic for when you want to increase drinking dwell-time and spend.

Tell me more, tell me more - What does a great pub experience look like?
Taking something that can be seen as a commodity and turning it into a major driving factor to your pub or bar business’s bottom line. It’s getting music and atmosphere on your team and in all your pubs and bars.
Imagine an atmosphere that’s built to run itself, optimising the music and lighting to make sure the experience is always at it’s best and keeps the tills ringing. Couple that with incredible music mixes that are integrated seamlessly with your atmosphere and we’re suddenly talking about the bar of the future which we’re already building.
We call it music+.
