From today, Amazon Prime members can stream Prime Music on Sonos in an instant, at no extra cost to their membership.
Sonos transforms the experience of listening out loud to music in the home. Its family of wireless smart speakers and home audio products are designed to fit your life and make it easy for everyone to listen to the music they love in every room of their home. To hear their favourites, discover new music, and appreciate it all with the highest sound quality. Prime members can sit back and enjoy a huge selection of hand-built Prime Playlists like ‘Relaxing Acoustic Pop’, ’50 Great UK Chart Number Ones’, ‘Classical for Reading’ and even ‘Saturday Night Dance Warm Up’.
Prime Stations are also available to help create the soundtrack for your day on Sonos. Prime Stations are ad-free—you can even pause, replay, or skip as often as you would like—so sit-back, relax and go ‘Orchestral Classical’ or have a ‘Top Pop’ dance party; there are hundreds of stations for every musical mood you may have. You can even find that perfect Station catered to your favourite artists like Sia, Calvin Harris, Mumford & Sons, Ellie Goulding, Florence + The Machine, and many more.
To celebrate the launch of Prime Music on Sonos, Amazon will be giving away one Sonos PLAY:1 speaker every day from Friday 29th April to Thursday 5th May. To enter, Prime members should visit www.amazon.co.uk/primemusic from Friday to find links to the Prime Playlists which customers can stream to be eligible to win. Once the prize draw has closed, seven lucky winners will be picked at random to each receive a Sonos PLAY:1.
Amazon will also host a special Prime Music House Party @ Sonos Studio for lucky Prime customers who can win tickets through a prize draw. The exclusive party, which will take place on Wednesday 18th May at Sonos Studio in Shoreditch, London, will see each room themed using Prime Playlists and Prime Stations. The night will feature a special DJ performance by Mark Hill. Mark is one of the godfathers of UK garage – an original member of Artful Dodger, he produced and wrote “Re-Rewind“, “Fill Me In” (with Craig David) “Movin’ Too Fast” (with Romina Johnson) and many more. The Artful Dodger was the most commercially successful UK Garage act at the height of the scene in the late 90s. Mark now works across many genres and is widely heralded as a hugely influential writer, producer, DJ and pioneer of the UK garage scene which has been experiencing a renaissance in recent years.
Entry to a prize draw for tickets to the Prime Music House Party @ Sonos Studio will open on 6th May; to attend this exclusive Shoreditch party customers can visit @AmazonMusicUK on Twitter find out more.
