Telefonica have many operations and one of them is their global web portal Terra. Advertisers are increasingly looking on-line so Telefonica hosted a presentation lunch for some of their most important clients in an exclusive Barcelona venue, expertly dressed with one of the city’s top caterers supplying the food. After researching the venue, the brand and consulting with the organizers the Audio Texture Sound System then provided the DJ services mixing atmospheric and evocative music to perfectly soundtrack this important event.

Natura decided they needed some new blood to freshen up their well respected range of compilation CDs so they gave us a call. Christmas was approaching so the rush was on to get the new CD into the stores. In 6 weeks firstly we worked closely with the company to finalize the track selection, then licensed all the tracks (no easy task in a hurry!), took care of the manufacturing process and delivered the great sounding CDs to 150+ stores in time for the busiest shopping period of the year.

When BBE Records were looking for interesting ways to spread their musical message this stalwart of the underground black music world teamed up with our main DJ light here at Audio Texture, Global SoulJah and the Global SoulJah & BBE Records radio show was born. The show is now syndicated to 6 stations in 4 countries as well as being an incredibly successful podcast. Expect an eclectic hour of music that the commercial stations forgot and some great upfront music from the BBE catalogue. Not only is it a great underground musical showcase the show constantly helps keep the label in the public eye to tens of thousands of people monthly in an engaging and entertaining way. In other words advertising at it’s very best.

Coronel Tapiocca are a major chain of outdoor and casual clothing retailers based in Spain with stores in Italy and Portugal. Worried about their commercial in-store music we lent them a hand and they now boast a fabulous bespoke in-store soundtrack. The global music combining hints of soul and jazz conjures up an exotic and sophisticated vibe in the shop and makes this company stand out from the retail crowd in over 70 of their key stores across 3 countries. The music receives a major update every 3 months to keep it super fresh, seasonal and relevant.

When the Red Bull Music Academy came to Barcelona due to a venue shortage in the city they were struggling to provide their students with adequate gig opportunities to a dedicated audience. Fortunately Audio Texture organized the Academy’s most successful specialist party in an old heavy metal venue in the up and coming Poble Nou barrio. Combining a cutting edge 4 deck audio visual show from Ninja Tune heroes Dj Food and DK with Goldielocks and DJ Baboo, two of the academies students, we provided the academy with their most successful party with as many people locked outside trying to get in as there were sweating inside.

Audio Texture have had a long running relationship with Cahartt in Spain. Whether it’s been DJing at their in-store promotions, recording a BBE records special for their on-line radio station and most significantly promoting the brand through the hugely successful Cosmic Jam parties. Not wishing to spoil the underground nature of the party we incorporated the great graffiti and art work that Carhartt regularly commission into the cutting edge surround visual experience and subtly clothed the DJ in the labels clothes, for a more subliminal yet highly effective statement for the label. Check the video below to see what the party was like! We like Carhartt and they like us.

Music Channels
We recognize that a bespoke solution may be out of the budget of some independent traders and small chains so we have created several channels containing some of the coolest music ever made.

The channels are constantly updated with our latest musical discoveries and there is a good chance one of them will sound great in your establishment. If none of our channels are suitable then we wont sell them to you as the wrong music in your business would just make both of us sound stupid and that would mean we aren’t doing our job properly.

The start up costs are low and the monthly fees reasonable. Here is some information about the channels that we offer, we suggest you have a listen to them on our music player whilst you are reading.

Lazy Days
This is our super laid back sophisticated selection designed to create a pleasant and very relaxed ambiance. Any genre is possible as long as it’s horizontally inclined – perfect for more contemplative and sedentary locations.
Balearic Vibes
Balearic is a deliciously vague term but to us it means sunshine and musical eclecticism. Anything goes here from reggae to leftfield pop, quirky rock to cosmic disco and global grooves to lazy hazy melodic house. Feel good mid-tempo warm vibes are the order of the day here.
Small World
This is our selection of the finest music from all five continents, old and new. From cumbia and samba to afrobeat and rai via Balkan beats and Asian percussion ensembles. We have chosen a great mid-tempo selection of world music and global fusions to create an exotic air in even the greyest of concrete jungles.
Soul Selection
This channel is home to some of the finest and most influential music of the 20th century and those inspired by it. Amazing soul voices, the best jazz musicians to have graced a stage and a bit of hip shaking funk and boogie thrown in for good measure – classy and timeless.
The Techno Future
Don’t be perturbed by the title we don’t think anywhere apart from a night club benefits from playing banging dance music. This channel is all about modern adventures in electronic music. Rest assured though the selection will be mid-tempo, melodic and atmospheric. This is our soundtrack to the 21st century.

Over the years we have worked in many aspects of the music industry. From producing and presenting popular radio shows and podcasts, DJing at festivals and famous clubs, organizing and promoting large parties with international DJs for big brands, staging intimate live concerts, running world famous record labels, working in taste making record shops frequented by the worlds top DJs, vinyl and CD manufacture and it’s global distribution, music journalism – we’ve been there, done it and probably DJed at the after party.

We keep an eye of all aspects of the world of music from the latest audio equipment to the next generation of file compression formats, we read more blogs and magazines than is strictly necessary and go to as many gigs and festivals as possible so we know what is hot and who is not. To be honest we might even be a bit obsessive.

We also have more great industry contacts than we know what to do with. Amongst our friends and contacts are great sound engineers, some of the worlds greatest DJs, top quality equipment providers, music futurists and great club visual artists and a whole lot more so if you need some musical assistance whether it’s help with programming an event, organizing a fashion show after party or in-store gig, compiling and producing promotional CDs or podcasts, in fact anything to do with music then we can make sure the job gets done properly and to your complete satisfaction.

First and foremost we love music and we love sharing it.

We believe that a lot of the best music is tucked away under the mainstream radar, we work tirelessly to unearth it and get great pleasure bringing it to a wider audience. We also believe that this makes the world a better place. We love musicians, producers and independent record labels that are in it for the love. These people inspire us and if we can help them spread their message and support them financially through our work so they produce and release more great music in the future then that makes us happy.

We wake up in the morning and look forward to going to work because we love what we do. We turn down jobs to work with music that we aren’t enthusiastic about as our heart wouldn’t be in it and we couldn’t look the client in the eye and promise to do a good job. We don’t agree with the dumbing down of music and we don’t believe your brand would benefit from sounding nondescript, dull and unexciting.

If you are our client we will be honest and straight with you and work incredibly hard to ensure you are completely satisfied. Call us old fashioned if you like.

At the risk of giving away our age we have over 35 years of experience working in various aspects of the music world. Here’s some of our previous industry experience:

Promoting and organizing large parties with international DJs, radio presenting, licensing music for film and television, DJing at festivals and famous clubs, organizing intimate live gigs, running world famous record labels, working in taste making record shops frequented by the worlds top DJs, vinyl and CD manufacture and it’s global distribution and music journalism.

Basically we’ve been there, done it and probably DJed at the after party.
