Azuli Records
Audio streaming system for a world-renowned independent house music label.
A real-time audio streaming engine
Having released hundreds of singles and a growing number of albums, Azuli’s ground-breaking style earned respect on both sides of the Atlantic, attracting some of the top artists in the business.
Azuli needed a way of compiling, editing and releasing encoded music samples to the web, with a flexible system of streaming these samples to customers on demand. We built a media streaming engine to allow both the encoded sample and the accompanying track information to be streamed in real-time, transparently using pre-installed software.
Staff-friendly catalogue management
To enable staff to properly catalogue the tracks and publish them to the web, we built a back-end database to quickly and efficiently allow tracks to be sorted, edited, deleted and marked as forthcoming.
An easy-to-use control panel, accessed through the user’s web browser, gives a low-cost but powerful interface — avoiding the need for extra onboard software. The system also has the flexibility to automatically switch from audio streaming to using a streaming server should demand rise past a certain point.
