What we do

The sound of your space, designed on purpose.

We design what plays, when, and why — matched to your brand, your hours, and how guests actually move through your space. For select spaces, we also curate and perform live sets.

01

Listen first

Every space has its own acoustics, pace, and crowd. We start by understanding yours before choosing a single track.

02

Curate by hour

Brunch, lobby, cocktail hour, dinner service — each moment gets its own sound, not one playlist on repeat.

03

Adjust, always

Sound isn't set-and-forget. We keep listening to how your space responds and refine it over time.

04

Zero friction for staff

Nobody on your team has to manage playlists or babysit a device. Sound runs on its own by time slot — your team runs the floor. Direct line to us for anything last-minute.

Work

Selected work for hospitality and cultural spaces.

Used across cafés, restaurants, and cultural spaces in Budapest.

Live sound management

Babka — the room, not the show

A weekly session where the goal isn't to be noticed. Levels, transitions, what plays when — tended to live, not left running. Mostly imperceptible, with the room lifted exactly when it needs it.

Event curation

TOBE Gallery — sound for a one-night opening

Inspired by the work of JF Julian, this soundscape explored the path of intensity and the beauty of melancholia — each track chosen to bridge the gap between looking and staring.

Physical space curation

Kepen — vinyl on the floor, not just in the playlist

Turntable setup and collection curation for a Budapest café, so what plays matches how the space actually feels, hour to hour.

Listen

From Manteca to DTMF

A playlist that traces the same line the writing does — 1947 to now, the clave still there underneath. Play it in order.
