We are constantly battling between chasing our dreams and living life to the fullest. Work responsibilities often overweigh our plans to go out or travel to another city to watch an artist and the conflict between the mind and the body of staying at home but also wanting to step out does not make it any easier. Well, the best of both worlds is only a download away. Streo – India’s first and only app that enables users to stream music from their favourite nightclubs/bars from anywhere in the world, live. Launched in May 2016, the app also helps the users discover events, venues and artists by date, location and genre and access the latest trends in music thus saving them the trouble of making or updating their playlist whenever they want. In addition to providing users with an ad-free, high-quality music streaming experience, the app also enables artists and venues to collaborate & broadcast their events to the world, notify the fans once they go live and build their own digital music events catalog. Founded in December 2015 by Arush Dhawan, Prerana Dhawan and Pranav Trehan, the live streaming app has secured an undisclosed amount in Seed funding from GEMS Advisory and early-stage Venture Capital Fund, Quarizon.

“Streo is an innovative idea and is addressing a nascent opportunity in the music and nightlife sector. Being the first movers in this ecosystem, it gives them an upper hand to capture the market. We believe in supporting such new ideas and our team of mentors is thrilled to extend the guidance and support to the Streo team.” said, Aditya Gupta, Chairman at Quarizon.

Streo has the leaders and influencers in the music industry on-board to provide its users the experience it promises. To name a few partners, they have Ash Roy of the Jalebee Cartel fame, popular artists from Goa like Shy-O, Sashanti & Clement, nightclubs and bars like Curlie's (Goa), Tito's (Goa), Cape Town (Goa), Trilogy (Mumbai), Social (Mumbai), Kitty Su (Mumbai), Aer (Mumbai), Summer House Café (Delhi), Hummingtree (Bengaluru) and more streaming live only on Streo. They have also registered themselves with nightclubs like Levels in Hong Kong and Silk in Colombo to stream on Streo.  

Livestream An Entire Music Festival

In December 2017, Streo audio live-streamed the ‘World’s Biggest Guestlist Festival’ organized by India’s GuestList4Good Social entity and not-for-profit organization Magic Bus in association with global electronic pioneer Hardwell’s United We Are Foundation. The festival took place at DY Patil stadium, Navi Mumbai on the 2^ndand 3^rdof Decemeber, 2017 featuring A-listers like Hardwell, Suyano, W&W, Mithoon and Nucleya to name a few.

"Whilst the stadium can only incorporate a certain hundred thousand, India has a lot many more fans spread across cities who want to access these gigs but can't. Streo aims to provide exactly that," says the Founder Arush Dhawan. He adds, "On-demand content wherein an audience likes a song, goes and looks for it online and streams it, is not enough to satiate the music appetite of today's millennial. Taking that 2-3 hour gig of their favourite genre, from their favourite nightclub or festival and putting it in their pocket, gives them a chance to not only access the content they like but also discover the latest in the market."

Streo app is available on both iOS and Android platforms.
