music that takes in nature, humankind, history, future, the force, and pulls it together in a big honest personal gesture of one's love for art and expression. that's all.
Movies
anything with dudes flying around with swords and that.

/ promoting seriously good electronic music around London for people that delve deep into the sounds that they surround themselves with.
striving for inspiring, interesting, meandering, mind opening, forward thinking music. playing with, and paying homage to everything that we love about techno, ambient, jazz. what ever you want to call it.
deep and rooted, inspired with an open mind, mother nature, the cosmos, politics and humanity, art and all sorts of movements - visually and musically, based around the concept of minimalism, in production, idea, or both.
music that you can dance to, relax to, relate to (subconsciously, perhaps!) and be inspired by.
