With an upcoming EP release this fall and the next chapter already in the works, this is a journey you’ll want to be a part of…

Watch the first episode of the Beatific Threads series, which explores the story of and inspiration behind the music project as well as Elad’s renowned San Francisco studio, Swell Music + Sound.

Dream Tape
In the fall of 2018 Jason Lesser released his new self-titled EP, Dream Tape. This release is the culmination of the long, sometimes arduous, and uncompromising exploration of writing for piano, quartet, voice, and electronics. Through his experiences of love, pain, and the music of the cosmos, Jason was able to create his most personal and ambitious release to date. One in which he hopes the listener will make their own. These days you’ll find Jason writing for piano and quartet, warping psychedelia into vocal samples, obsessing over analog signal flow, and continually striving to make the prettiest music he can.

Shaw Quentin
San Francisco based producer and DJ, Shaw Quentin is fearless of boundaries. With House music deeply rooted in his soul, his creativity and yearning for originality speaks volumes through his crafty productions. From Vegas to Ibiza, nearly a decade of experience is notched under this young artist’s belt. From one nautical landscape to another, Shaw seeks inspiration from travel and the slight nostalgia for his adolescent years when his eyes were as big as his dreams. Quentin’s sound is unmistakably groovy, and unifying. Youthful, restless, as he is equally tame and mature. Shaw Quentin is creating a world that encompasses an underground groove with a sun kissed flair.
