Riyadh: Saudi Arabia’s MDLBEAST and Apple Music have partnered to release a curated collection of live sets recorded at Soundstorm 2025, now available globally on Apple Music in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, offering listeners an immersive way to experience one of the Middle East’s most influential music festivals beyond its physical stage.
Recorded at MDLBEAST’s flagship festival, Soundstorm, the release brings together performances from a diverse lineup of local, regional and international artists, including Armin van Buuren, Alok, Steve Aoki, Omar Basaad, Elfuego, Sidney Samson, N.A.H, Nikaya, DJ Viva, The Engineers, and Gino & Enzo Ingrosso. The collection reflects the scale and variety that have come to define the festival’s identity, while positioning Saudi Arabia more firmly within the global electronic and live music conversation.
The initiative marks the first time a live festival collection from the Middle East has been released in Spatial Audio, allowing audiences worldwide to experience festival performances in a multidimensional sound format designed to replicate the energy and depth of a live environment.
“Soundstorm has always been about creating experiences that reflect the scale and energy of the region’s music scene,” said Talal Al-Bahiti, chief operating officer and head of music at MDLBEAST. “Working with Apple Music allows us to extend that experience beyond the festival itself and give audiences around the world a new way to connect with the music and talent coming out of this region.”
