03 — The flagship channel

Ooh La Lounge: a quiet corner of YouTube, built for headphones.

Ooh La Lounge is the first channel under the Horizon Koi umbrella—where everything currently lives. Full sessions, individual tracks, and a handful of long-form playlists sequenced for working, driving, or doing nothing in particular. New music most weeks. No schedule, no filler. More channels, in other genres, will follow.

05 — About the studio

A small project about slow listening.

Horizon Koi Audio Studios is a curatorial umbrella for slow, intentional listening. It started in 2021 as a folder of tracks we kept sending to friends—the ones that landed at 2am, the ones that made a long drive feel shorter. Three years later, it's still that, mostly. A small, slow-growing studio built around a single rule: if we wouldn't play it for someone sitting next to us, it doesn't go up.

Ooh La Lounge is our first public channel. More will follow in different genres, each with its own atmosphere. No monthly content calendar. No algorithm chasing. Just careful sequencing, decent artwork, and a quiet release schedule—usually one new track a week, sometimes two, sometimes none. The point isn't to keep up. It's to have somewhere to come back to.
