AIAIAI and Brain Dead celebrate LA’s music culture with limited edition headphone release
23rd January 2025
Globally renowned Danish audio company AIAIAI is partnering with creative collective and lifestyle brand Brain Dead to highlight the rich music culture of Los Angeles. The two brands are releasing a limited number of co-created AIAIAI Tracks headphones, tapping into the shared strength of their cultural credentials and aesthetic sensibilities. The collaboration will be available through both AIAIAI and Brain Dead’s shops, as well as a selection of retailers on January 28, 2025.
In true Brain Dead style, this collaboration sees the Californian brand’s design ethos applied to AIAIAI’s modular audio technology. The award-winning, supra-aural headphones feature 40mm speaker drivers for a full-spectrum sound quality with a tight bass and detailed high-frequency notes. Featuring a strong visual identity and colorway, the collaborative design draws on the ethos of both brands to share something fresh and sleek. The collaboration will also see a highly limited run of Unit-4 Studio Monitor speaker units. Featuring bespoke design motifs from Brain Dead the Unit-4 speakers have been created to enable studio level sound quality without restrictions from wires and cables, offering wireless, ultra-low latency and uncompressed audio.
AIAIAI Co-Founder, Frederik Jorgeson, said; “Innovative design is at the core of AIAIAI, so collaborating with a pioneering creative collective like Brain Dead is the perfect match for us. We’re so excited to be rekindling our partnership, after first working together back in 2018 to create another bespoke piece of audio technology.”
To complete the release, AIAIAI, and Brain Dead will be celebrating with an event and a compilation tape aimed at breaking down barriers within subcultures of the LA music scene, with proceeds donated to the California Fire Fund to provide direct assistance to those impacted by the fires. Featuring live performances by Knumears, Febuary, Sinema, and Kiowa, as well as a curated selection of local vendors, the event will be held on January 25 at Zebulon (2478 Fletcher Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90039), from 12-5 PM.
For those who cannot make it to the venue, AIAIAI and Brain Dead will be releasing a compilation cassette tape, on sale featuring a few of the bands playing the event, allowing those who are outside of LA to also contribute to the cause.
