The Campaign

Arcade games bring so many emotions that teens may have forgotten about them. For many teens ,music becomes a major way to express themselves and feel through their emotions. Magic Planet the leading Leisure and Entertainment brand across the MENA region took the challenge to create emotional music content from arcade gaming that is unique with its content and can be consumed and shared among the young generation and that would trigger positive conversations about Magic Planet Working with professional DJ Tom Noize, Magic Planet created their own EDM track consisting solely of raw sounds and the audible atmosphere from within the arcade, showcasing all the fun and joy that Magic Planet has to offer.Using a technology called Sampling (which is similar to recording on tape), each sound was turned into a beat. Once collected, each sound was turned into beats using sampler technology. Our music track was seeded through DJ’s and EDM influencers and soon was picked up by leading radio stations and became part of Anghami’s playlist

4100 streams on Anghami in the first 2 weeks 60% of the users who listened to the song online added it to their personal library 64% of the users who listened to the song were aged between 15&20 yrs old Reached 1.2 M people via Radio Rated 3.5-4 by most of the Djs and music influencers
