Custom-Made Music Enhances Atmosphere in NZA New Zealand Auckland Stores
Recently, we have enhanced the atmosphere in NZA New Zealand Auckland stores with customized background music. Discover how our X-Radios contribute to an improved shopping experience through the rollout of X-Radios.
NZA New Zealand Auckland embodies the spirit of New Zealand’s fascinating and breathtaking native wilderness and unique landscapes. The adventurous character and deep-rooted cultural heritage serve as a constant source of inspiration for the styling and design team. Founders Eric and Laurens, after visiting the land of the kiwi, were inspired by its rugged terrain and untouched nature. This inspiration led to the creation of a menswear brand offering stylish clothing for the adventurous man: sporty, outdoor, and casual.
NZA New Zealand Auckland, now a significantly grown brand, proudly announces the opening of four new stores and five strategic relocations of existing locations, including flagship stores in Maastricht and Nieuwpoort. Thank you for choosing our music service. We warmly welcome NZA New Zealand Auckland as a new client and look forward to a successful collaboration.
Musical Partner of Bregje: Creating a Home-like Experience
Since 2015, we have been proud to be the musical partner of Bregje, a dynamic franchise brand that is part of the Club Culinair hospitality group. Bregje, which is rapidly growing, now has 28 restaurants across the Netherlands. The core of Bregje is offering delicious and affordable food in a warm, homely setting. Our carefully curated music selection plays a crucial role in creating this ambiance.
The Homely Atmosphere of Bregje: More Than Just Food
Bregje is about more than just good food; it’s a place where guests feel at home. This feeling is enhanced by an interior that feels warm and cozy, combined with welcoming and friendly service from the staff. The music we select perfectly complements this atmosphere, with a mix of beautiful Dutch songs, French chansons, country, acoustic music, and lesser-known relaxed tracks. While Top 40 music also has a place in our playlists, we make sure to regularly replace these songs to maintain the desired ambiance.
Music as a Crucial Element for the Homely Atmosphere at Bregje
At Bregje, we aim to create a cozy, old-fashioned feeling as if you were dining in your own living room. This ambiance is enhanced by adding ‘guilty pleasures’ to the playlist. These tracks, which are rarely heard elsewhere, contribute to the homely and familiar atmosphere of the restaurant.
The Origins and Growth of Bregje
The concept for Proeflokaal Bregje was developed in 2014, and the first location opened that same year in The Hague. Roland Hogenelst, the owner and founder, identified a gap in the market for an affordably priced three-course menu. The popularity of this concept quickly led to expansion, and today, Bregje restaurants are spread throughout the country. Roland has ambitious growth plans, aiming to open ten to fifteen new locations annually. This growth is essential for the franchisees’ profitability, supported by Club Culinair’s own wholesale business, which handles the centralized procurement of food and non-food products.
Rebranding to Bregje and the Musical Partnership
Recently, the name Proeflokaal Bregje was shortened to simply Bregje. As part of this rebranding, a new logo and refreshed brand identity were introduced, and all locations are being adapted to reflect this new look.
At Bregje, everything revolves around creating a warm, homely atmosphere where our guests feel at home. Our partnership with Xenox is essential to this; their music selection perfectly enhances the ambiance. Together, we ensure that every visit to Bregje feels like dining in your own living room.

A rockabilly-inspired musical atmosphere at OFM.
At OFM., everything revolves around the total experience for men. Since its founding in 2002, OFM. has distinguished itself as a successful men’s fashion chain with 21 stores across the Netherlands. The secret behind this success lies not only in their unique approach focused on men but also in their ongoing drive for innovation and a surprising experience – a “mensperience”! From the very beginning, the brand has aimed for a distinctive approach, where sometimes things can be a bit edgy, sparking conversation. Key pillars for OFM. are: personal, accessible, and attention-grabbing.
An essential part of the experience is the music that plays in the stores. From the start, music has been an integral part of the OFM. formula. As their music partner, we have been working together since 2015 and have grown alongside the brand’s developments. Our focus is on creating a unique musical atmosphere that not only appeals to customers but also stimulates and surprises them. We achieve this through two Branded Music Channels: OFM. Daytime and OFM. Primetime.
Music that perfectly complements the store experience.
At OFM., we provide a carefully curated music selection that perfectly matches the ambiance of the store environment. The day starts with relaxed tunes that gradually transition into bold, raw, and characterful melodies as the day progresses. This music selection is infused with a mix of blues, funk, and soul, making you feel like a rockabilly hero as you stroll through the store.
The OFM. Music Channels capture the essence of powerful “manly” music, occasionally with sounds reminiscent of Tarantino films or TV series like Peaky Blinders and Suits. We aim to create an atmosphere steeped in the gritty, tough, and funky vibe of these music genres, offering a unique experience for both customers and staff.
The tempo and mood of the music are carefully crafted to enhance the diversity of the product range and give the stores their own distinct identity. Our goal is not just to provide background music, but to create an overall atmosphere in which customers feel welcome and inspired.
Music is a supportive element, alongside coffee, beer, and other surprises that customers encounter during their visit to an OFM. store. The strength of Only for Men lies not only in offering quality products and a strong online presence but also in the ongoing attention to the overall experience in their physical stores.
