ART DUBAI SPECIAL EDITION 2026
LISTENING BAR POWERED BY RAW MUSIC STORE
Raw Music Store joins Art Dubai Special Edition 2026 with a dedicated Listening Bar experience, an immersive space designed around intentional listening, analog culture, and high-end sound reproduction.
For this collaboration, we will present the remarkable Revival Audio Atalante 7 loudspeakers, driven by reference electronics from Chord Electronics and anchored by the iconic Gold Note Mediterraneo turntable.
Set within the atmosphere of Art Dubai, the space invites visitors to slow down, listen deeply, and experience music as both performance and art object. Blending contemporary design, vinyl culture, and audiophile sound, the Listening Bar reflects Raw Music Store’s ongoing vision of creating meaningful listening experiences within cultural spaces.
LIVE MUSIC
Vinyl Souk curates a live talent showcase at Art Dubai’s pop-up listening bar powered by Raw Music Store. The programme brings together a selection of UAE-based artists performing original music in an intimate listening setting, spotlighting voices and sounds shaping the independent music scene today.
Featuring live performances by Sandra Ivette Duo, Jay Abo, Imelda Gabs, Jimi Elgohary, That’s Julian, and Elijah Semine, the showcase reflects Vinyl Souk’s ongoing commitment to supporting original music, emerging talent, and community-led cultural experiences.
