Music for Dogs, Humans, and Dancefloors: Dreaming Dog’s Cross-Species Connection

The Afro House remix of “Beautiful Dog,” recently featured as KCRW’s Today’s Top Tune, picks up where the original left off. GRAMMY-winning producer Antaeus first composed this version at 120 BPM, then slowed it to 60–85 BPM to align with canine biology. That adjustment was aesthetic, yes, but above all, physiological. The remix moves with more energy yet preserves the same emotional core. The calm remains, now pulsing through rhythm.

“Dreaming Dog” emerged from a unique collaboration between Amman Ahmed—founder of RelaxMyDog, now part of Create Music Group—and producers Antaeus and Daniel from Mosadi. Rooted in research and guided by emotion, the project bridges science and sentiment, shaped in part by Daniel’s experience of losing his dog. The result merges ambient electronica, lo-fi, Amapiano, and gentle reggae tones into music designed to comfort dogs and move the humans who love them.

The remix expands the original. Deep basslines and Afro rhythms carry the same intent with no loss of clarity. The track remains therapeutic while inviting movement. The seamless continuity between versions proves how collaboration can sustain emotional precision across formats. The team waited until the structure felt strong enough to carry that weight.

“Dreaming Dog” connects across species and spaces. The album is up for Grammy consideration, yet its worth goes beyond accolades. It lives in living rooms and clubs, in calm routines and collective motion. The remix joins that rhythm. It belongs.

Belonging, continuity, and care were added to tempo, textures, and every choice. From RelaxMyDog’s early research to Create Music Group’s release, the project has carried that patience throughout.
