About Tracks & Tales

A global guide redefining how the world listens — one venue, one story, one sound system at a time.

What We Do

Tracks & Tales is a cultural marketplace built around sound, space, and story.

We uncover the most sonically intentional venues in the world — bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels, and listening rooms that put care into what they play and how it sounds. Then we connect them to the audiences who are looking for exactly that.

We're creating a new kind of map — one guided not by noise, ratings, or hype, but by deep listening.

The Platform

Two sides. One standard.

Tracks & Tales is a two-sided platform — a curated listing of global venues, and a growing contributor network of listeners, tastemakers, and trusted Ambassadors. Both sides work together to raise the standard for music-led experiences around the world.

For venues, it’s visibility, cultural cachet, and alignment with a new generation of discerning guests.

For contributors, it’s access, authorship, and the chance to shape a new global guide.

Our unique Tracks & Tales Star System is editorially managed and globally applied. It signals sonic excellence — and trust.

The Problem We're Solving

Most review platforms are built on volume.
Tracks & Tales is built on value.

Generic reviews bury great venues.
Influencer culture skips the sound system.
Booking platforms favour visibility over vibe.
“Music-led” often means marketing, not meaning.

We believe intentional listening deserves its own ecosystem — and its own economy.

Why It Matters Now

Listening culture is exploding.
From audiophile bars in Tokyo to vinyl brunches in Berlin — sound is becoming the new luxury. But until now, there’s been no trusted source to help audiences find these spaces.

Tracks & Tales meets this moment by:

Building a trusted, global directory of listening venues
Connecting sound-focused spaces to sound-seeking audiences
Creating a new standard for sonic hospitality
Offering contributors and venues a platform with purpose

Who We’re For

Venues who lead with music and care about culture
Cities that want to elevate their sound-forward offerings
Hotels, hospitality brands, and developers seeking sonic distinction
Cultural institutions and media who want to align with the future of listening
Investors ready to back a platform with global scale and grassroots soul

Our Vision

To be the world’s most trusted guide to where — and how — to listen.

We want every city to have a Tracks & Tales map.
We want every venue to treat music as an experience, not an afterthought.
And we want to build the cultural infrastructure for this to last.

How We Grow

Curated venue listings
Community-led content and storytelling
City-by-city expansion through Ambassadors
Strategic partnerships with venues, brands, and institutions
Scalable API & data tools for B2B hospitality, travel, and media
Low overhead, high cultural impact

Why It Works

Sound is borderless. This model scales globally with minimal localisation.
The standard is universal. Our star system is built for trust and consistency.
Audiences are seeking depth. We're answering a global fatigue with shallow discovery platforms.
We own the niche. No other brand is doing this at this depth — or with this community-first philosophy.

Want to Be Part of It?

We’re not just building a guide. We’re building cultural infrastructure for how the world listens.

If you’re a venue, a brand, a media partner, or an investor — we’d love to talk.
Let’s grow this map together.
