Sound Leisure, Soundnet and TouchTunes will join forces to market the TouchTunes Playdium jukebox in the UK.
The partnership will be officially launched at ACOS by TouchTunes chairman and CEO, Charles Goldstuck.
In a joint statement, Simon Davis of Soundnet and Sound Leisure's Chris Black, said: "It's fair to say the UK jukebox sector finds itself at a crossroads. While UK consumers are consuming more music than ever, jukebox use is sadly declining. The jukebox consumer experience has failed to keep pace with digital music services such as Spotify, iTunes and Apple Music.
"Under the terms of this partnership, Sound Leisure will bring to market the TouchTunes Playdium jukebox and will continue to provide after sales and servicing for existing Sound Leisure jukeboxes. Soundnet will apply its expertise in providing music programming for the Playdium.”
TouchTunes' European managing director, Alan Newham, added: "Sound Leisure has a fantastic history in the UK jukebox market and I am delighted to be working alongside Chris and the Sound Leisure team to write the next chapter in that story.
"Working together to bring Playdium to the UK, I’m confident we have an exciting opportunity to rejuvenate the jukebox market here. Combining TouchTunes' commitment to product innovation with Sound Leisure’s knowledge of the local market, creates the ideal combination to pursue that goal."
The smart jukebox learns from the music selected and adapts over time to intuitively highlight songs, artists and search results that are most relevant.
