PERKS

ABOUT KOLLEKT.FM

We are a music agency on a mission to change the dusty world of background music. We create highly custom music strategies for retailers, restaurants, hotels, gyms, co-working spaces, supermarkets, and clubs around the world. 

We really, I mean really, don’t believe in generic one-size-fits-all music channels, or anonymous playlists generated by an algorithm. Music curation is an art. That’s why we work with artists, dj’s and tastemakers who handpick playlists for our clients. 

You can hear our work in your favourite shop in Amsterdam all the way to the Chrysler building in New York. However, Kollekt.fm is not only music-minded. We are also a team of software developers and UX designers and develop all our (music) tech in-house.

Find our office at 'The Next Web' in the heart of Amsterdam. Our space is the one with the disco ball and dj booth between all the plants. 

THE TEAM

We are 3 dads, 2 dj's, 2 music producers, 2 coding wizards, 1 cider brewer and 50+ professional music curators.
