In The Zone - April 2026 (Guido's Lounge Cafe)

Hello dear friends, Guido van der Meulen here. There is something truly enchanting about this month's session. It has a mystical, almost magical feel to it, weaving together some of the most beautiful ambient and piano tracks I’ve had the pleasure of curating.

I’ve worked particularly hard on some new presets for this show to ensure that "magical" quality translates into a wider, more immersive sound. As many of you know, mastering a full mix is a delicate art—finding the right setting for a whole 2 hours of music is a challenge, but I believe we’ve reached a safe harbor with this one. I hope you enjoy this well-varianted program as much as I enjoyed creating it.

“Magic happens in the space where the piano meets the silence of the heart.”
