Cocktail Hour Companion

Lounge music that takes you back in time

Twenty-one themed albums of vintage-inspired lounge — vibraphone, brushed drums, upright bass — and an app that plays them like a record you own.

The Companion App · Free on iPhone, iPad & Apple TV

Turn the living room
back into a lounge

Not a playlist. A room you step into — put a record on, pour something, and let the evening start the way it used to.

On Apple TV

The whole room, all evening

Put it on the big screen and the record spins where everyone can see it. Low enough to talk over, good enough to stop and listen to.

On iPhone & iPad

A turntable on the shelf

Stand it up beside the glasses and it earns its place on the credenza. Small enough to travel, warm enough to stay on all night.

Liner Notes

It started with
Spacey Cakes

Spacey Cakes began as a creative experiment — a 1960s space-lounge concept I wasn't sure anyone would care about. Then the messages started coming in.

People told me it reminded them of something they hadn't felt in years. That it made their evenings better, that it took them somewhere warm and stylish and familiar. That's when it became clear this was more than an album. It was a mood, a shared vibe, a small movement of people who appreciate atmosphere and slowing down for a good moment.

It became the spark that grew into Cocktail Hour Companion — a growing collection of themed albums built around that same spirit. I'm grateful for the support and the community that's formed around this music. It's a privilege to make something that becomes part of your space and your memories.
