Drowned in Sound Partners with Streaming Platform Qobuz

Drowned in Sound (DiS), the independent music publication, podcast and online community, has announced a partnership with ethical streaming platform Qobuz.

The details:

• The collaboration is for Drowned in Sound’s podcast seasons running from December 2025 to June 2026.

• It kicks off with DiS’s best of 2025 coverage, predictions for 2026, and exclusive interviews with Kelly Lee Owens and Sofia Isella.

• Qobuz will serve as title sponsor for the podcast, with DiS curating weekly companion playlists on Qobuz.

What they said:

• Sean Adams, Drowned in Sound Founder: “This cooperation aligns with everything DiS is about. Qobuz pays artists 4x more than other platforms, values human curation, and is independently-owned. They’re building a platform for music enthusiasts the way ethical experts recommend. This comes at a time when grassroots media is struggling and it emboldens our mission to empower music fans, recommend exceptional music, and create solutions-led journalism that builds useful resources. Bring on 2026!”
