Sonos is happy to welcome Red Bull Radio, one of over 80 integrated music services on the Sonos app. Celebrating Red Bull Music Academy’s 20th anniversary in Berlin (the city where it all started in 1998), Sonos recently teamed up with Red Bull Radio for 3 days of radio programming live from the Sonos Store Berlin.

During this year’s Democratic Design Days event, IKEA unveiled early prototypes of SYMFONISK, our upcoming collaboration aimed at coordinating sound and design in the home. Here’s what inspired the project and how we hope to enhance listening and life, at home.

We recently created an immersive audio and visual experience with Gorillaz called the Spirit House to celebrate the launch of their new album, Humanz and the launch of our new Playbase. We had the opportunity to sit down with Murdoc and talk Spirit House inspiration, listening out loud, and movie soundtracks.
