“Today's Top Tune… from Grammy-winning producer Antaeus' groundbreaking new album, Dreaming Dog” – KCRW, Los Angeles
“Dreaming Dog is more than music—it’s a 13-song sanctuary where science, sound, and love for our pets intertwine to create calm for dogs and humans alike.” EARMILK
“'Dreaming Dog' is a genre-fluid album blending ambient electronica, lofi calm, cinematic textures, hints of Amapiano, reggae warmth, and the intimacy of live instrumentation. Subtle layers of typically stress-inducing sounds - fireworks, thunder, children at play - are reimagined within soothing soundscapes.” ENTREPRENEUR MAGAZINE
"Dreaming Dog transforms soothing music for pets into a genre-blurring album that comforts animals and moves human listeners alike.” MAGNETIC MAGAZINE
“The album integrates scientific principles of sound therapy with global music trends, featuring elements of South African Amapiano, reggae influences, and live instrumentation by Carnegie Hall (pianist) Charu Suri and Cirque du Soleil vocalist Erini.” LONDON DAILY NEWS
“Dreaming Dog (is) a 13-track tail-wagging, anxiety-busting sound journey made for dogs and the humans who fetch their playlists... (It) is the ultimate chill-out soundtrack.” HITS MAGAZINE
“Dreaming Dog's ability to merge science with soul is simply amazing — a rare gift of music that serves, heals, and delights both dogs and humans.” NEW MUSIC ALERT
“Dreaming Dog” brings together the talents of five GRAMMY®-winning producers and engineers—ANTAEUS, MOSADI, JOE MALDONADO, ALEX PSAROUDAKIS, and CHRIS SOULIT—in a groundbreaking musical experience designed for pets and their humans. The project features Charu Suri, the first Indian artist to sell out Carnegie Hall five times, whose piano virtuosity adds a classical elegance, while Greek vocalist Erini, acclaimed for her performances with Cirque du Soleil, lends an ethereal touch with her hauntingly beautiful voice.
More than just ambient or new age music, “Dreaming Dog” is a global sonic journey. It fuses the tail-thumping energy of South African Amapiano, the soothing spirit of Reggae, the pulse of Urban grooves, and the mellow textures of lo-fi to create a richly layered soundscape. At its heart, the album is a bold exploration of the emotional impact of sound—blending artistic innovation with a heartfelt commitment to animal well-being.
