How does Soniqo actually run in the venue?

We stream a curated, dayparted programme to your venue's existing audio setup — Sonos, AirPlay, PA, or any standard mixer. No hardware to install, no new accounts for your staff. Staff can adjust volume; everything else is automated and scheduled.

How fast can you go live?

Forty-eight hours from the first call. Day one we do a 30-minute onboarding call. Day one–two we build your sound profile. Day three you're live. Most multi-zone venues are running within the same window.

Standard from Pro tier onwards. Different floors, lobbies, terraces, spas, private rooms all get their own programme, each on its own schedule. All controlled from one dashboard.

Our DJ team. Not an algorithm, not a generic playlist library. Every track is handpicked, brand-aligned, and tested against your concept. No explicit tracks, no off-brand surprises.

How often does the music change?

Quarterly refresh on Core, monthly on Pro, custom on Signature. Seasonal modes, event modes, and brand-specific signature evolutions are part of the Pro and Signature tiers. Nothing ever loops the same week twice.

What about the same music across all our locations?

Yes — central group profile with optional local adjustments. The brand sounds consistent across every venue while still respecting venue-specific factors like crowd, hour, season.

What about music licensing?

Handled on our side. PRO and PPL royalties are paid through our system. You stay legally clear without managing any separate accounts or licenses for the music we provide.

Thirty days written notice, any month. No exit fees. We hand back the calendar so you can continue with your previous setup if you want to. First month is treated as a trial — cancel within 30 days, no kill fee, no questions.

Why not just use Spotify Business?

Spotify Business gives you a music library; it does not give you direction. It plays algorithm-based recommendations, includes podcast and sponsor breaks, has no daypart or brand intelligence, and is not insurable as a business audio source. Soniqo is the programme around the music — designed, curated, scheduled, supported.

Abu Dhabi · Active

Abu Dhabi rooms
ask for a different register.

Abu Dhabi is not Dubai dialled down — it is a different register. More diplomatic. More poised. The hospitality scene leans into Saadiyat's culture district, Yas Island's entertainment corridor, and the Corniche's polished five-star line. The music needs to read as confident without being loud. We program for that exact tone.

The Abu Dhabi dayProgramming context

Abu Dhabi's dining day starts a little later, dinner sits longer, and the lounge-slide is gentler. The venues that win here are the ones that understand restraint — a well-curated, well-programmed soundscape outperforms a high-energy one almost everywhere outside of weekend brunch.

Signature daypartsTuned for Abu Dhabi

Daytime polish

12:00 — 17:00

Instrumental jazz, modern soul, downtempo Brazilian. Daytime lobby and dining at the five-star tier.

Cultural quarter

17:00 — 20:00

Saadiyat-specific. Cinematic, melodic, internationally-curated. Pairs with art-district pre-dinner culture.

Five-star dinner

19:30 — 23:00

Sophisticated, lyric-aware, never beat-heavy. Soulful house at low BPM, neo-classical edits, deep instrumental.

Slow-late

23:00 — 01:00

DJ-mixed but unhurried. Built for staying, not transitioning.
