Buckethead - Pike18 - Track01

The hush before the experience begins.

“Velvet Entry” sets the tone with brushed drums, warm Rhodes, and bass that walks like it knows the room. Built for that first step into a curated space — where scent, texture, and tempo align. A slow inhale of ambient jazz made for boutiques that whisper luxury and move like moodboards.

Part welcome, part invitation. All atmosphere.
