Deezer releases new spatial audio playlist featuring the world’s biggest artists in Sony 360 Reality Audio. Deezer is bringing live performances to life with its new ‘360 Sessions’ with global megastars like Dua Lipa, Anne-Marie, Circa Waves and others.

Using Sony’s 360 object-based spatial audio technology, the 28 track playlist provides a unique immersive experience. This means everything from the track – including vocals, individual instruments and even a live audience can be heard as if they are in different positions inside a 360 spherical space. The end result is an incredible feeling of ‘realness’, as if the artist is inside the same room as you.

You can enjoy ‘360 Sessions’ with normal headphones with no special hardware needed. You will need a subscription to Deezer HiFi but if you are only a Premium user, you can still enjoy the playlist, but only in stereo as usual.

Jerome Coïc, Deezer’s Senior Special Operations & Partnerships Manager, said “We wanted to capture the magic and mood of a live performance with Deezer Sessions. Each act brings our fans up close and personal to their favourite artists. To further preserve the integrity and specialness of each recording, we created ‘Deezer 360 Sessions’ in 360 Reality Audio. With 360 Reality Audio, fans will experience sounds that mimic an omni-directional soundscape that will transport each music fan to the heart of their favourite performance.”

Deezer HiFi users can listen to the ‘360 Sessions’ playlists via the standalone 3​60 by Deezer app, available on iOS and Android. Listeners can use their usual headphones to enjoy 360 Sessions and no special hardware is needed, although fans using Sony’s headphones compatible with the application ‘Headphones Connect’ will enjoy an enhanced experience.
