Reflexions is the other side of the coin of our Initiate parties.
A reflection of our universe.

Initiate Reflexions podcasts explore ambient music of various forms and declinations, its focus being on providing an immersive auditory experience for listeners. 

From drone to electro-acoustic music to ambient techno and other forms of minimalism. We love soundscapes. 

The podcasts are curated by Hesh.

"An invitation to Relax"

For our fourth podcast we welcome Adhémar. A very talented French artist whose work you'll have heard on Oslated and Aarden records.

Please read his note :) 

"This recording is an invitation to relax  and relieve any tensions. 
You can follow the instructions below. 
Stay in Shavasana for as long as you want - let go !
Lie flat on the back with the arms about 15 cm away from the body, palms facing upward.
A thin pillow or folded cloth may be placed behind the head to prevent discomfort. A rolled up blanket can be placed under the knees, heels still touching the ground, to relieve low back tension. 
Let the fingers curl up slightly.
Move the feet slightly apart to a comfortable position and close the eyes.
The head and spine should be in a straight line.
Make sure the head does not fall to one side or the other.
Relax the whole body and stop all physical movement. 
Become aware of the natural breath and allow it to become rhythmic and relaxed".

Enjoy the ride!

Initiate concept is born from a passion for boundary pushing electronic music. We want to move away from trends of instant gratification to explore club music and its intersections with other forms of musical expression.
 
The sound we wish to share with you makes us dance, pause, reflect and meditate. It takes us away and transports us.
 
What drives us is the exploration of fine tuned sounds that come together to create holistic pieces of music, inducing various states of consciousness.
 
Initiate provides a wholesome space for self-reflection, for bonding with others and for musical discoveries that will challenge your ears and dance moves alike!
