A hypnotic sound bath in which tribally-rooted ambient morphs into one entity. Drones, live instruments and esoteric textures are transformed into a contemporary Kāthā interpretation. Kāthā is the Thai name used for chanted sacred mantras and magical incantations that offer protection, charm, or certain influence in life. Its origins stem from "Gāthā", a Sanskrit term referring to any poetic metre commonly used in legends - verses recited in rhythm with the breath as part of mindfulness practice or meditation.

A home for authentic, tribally rooted sounds introducing Asian artists and creating symbiotic dialogues with producers around the globe.

Two heads, one path, one pace.
