World Sleep Day 2025 (DJ Mix)

This World Sleep Day, do yourself a favor and take things down a notch—rest, relax, unwind. To support you in this endeavor, we had Highland Park Sleep Collective—the LA outfit made up of producer Tim Anderson and Poolside’s Filip Nikolic—craft a restorative DJ mix of soft, sleepy soundscapes. “We leaned on friendship and fandom,” Anderson says, explaining that they started with artists they either know personally (Orpheo McCord, Anders Rhedin) or have long been obsessed with (Brian Eno, Ana Roxanne). “Ultimately, we hope people find this mix relaxing and imaginative, something to sleep and dream to, or be inspired by.” Like ambient music, sleep music is an art. “You want to make sure the music is appealing but also in the background of our consciousness,” he says. “We always try to create a mood that feels nice and soft. If it checks those boxes for us, it usually works for others.” He believes listeners are often more in tune with these genres than they think. “Everyone relaxes to some form of wellness music, whether it’s white noise, ocean sounds, or even lo-fi hip-hop,” he says. “I can open my window and listen to the best ambient [music] on earth: the sound of wind, birds, or even a plane passing overhead. It shapes our entire lives, whether we can point to it or not.”
