Music for inside

We create mixes for inward exploration whether it's meditation, focus, relaxation or even something a little more out there. The music we choose is intended to be more than just a warm ambient drone. We like to think of it as brain food. From songs that take you somewhere, to songs that make you feel happy/dark/complicated, to songs that remind you of a special moment. 

Tune in and take off
