Supper (Spotify)

Supper is a web-based application on the Spotify digital music streaming platform.[1] The Supper app was born from a group of friends who had backgrounds in the music and gastronomy industries. Digital music solutions company Artisan Council later executed it.[2] The app now sits in the top 40 applications on Spotify.[3]

## About

[edit]

The Supper Spotify application matches recipes for all occasions and skill levels with a playlist for both preparation and presentation, as envisioned by the chefs themselves.[4] Supper is credited with being one of the first apps to pair music with food. Playing on the social nature of music and food culture, users can seamlessly experience both for the first time with real time music streaming.[5][6][7]

## Supper.mx

[edit]

In May 2014 Supper was launched outside of the Spotify streaming platform.[8] Though still in partnership with Spotify, supper.mx allows users to view Supper's music + food collaborations on mobile, tablet and desktop, without the need to download Spotify directly.

## Curators

[edit]

All of the recipes and playlists featured on the Supper app come straight from a growing network of tastemakers, including chefs, musicians and institutions around the world.[9][10][11][12][13][14] Each month the recipes and playlists are updated in conjunction with current holidays, events and seasons.
