Founded by Vittorio Strigari and the designer Ora-ito, Awdio is a very fascinating concept in music, literally through their service you can listen to music being played in clubs, bars, fashion hotels, shops, restaurants and concert venues worldwide, in real time.
Awdio spots the coolest places around the globe where live music is played and makes exclusive agreement to distribute and stream it live in real time. They gathered so far 50 hotspots like the super trendy Colette Shop in Paris, Nublu in New York, Favela Chick in London, Stereo in Montreal, 360 in Istanbul, Bed Supperclub in Bangkok, Zouk in Singapore, Drop in Hong-kong and Lounge in Melbourne. They have become the founding members of a new model for musical broadcasting.
The technological secret behind Awdio is its « AwdioBox » These 19” racks are installed in each venue allowing them to broadcast 2 streams simultaneously up to 192Kbs in real time. The first stream is 100% musical and extracts the sound from the mixing desk. The second stream mixes the ambiance with the music. These boxes are completely autonomous and allow a constant connection between the Awdio servers and all the sources on the network over 5 continents.
Awdio shares 20% of subscription revenue with clubs based on listeners, and another 10% with bands or DJs. The site offers an analytics package to clubs that allows them to monitor listener numbers in real time.
