Laura LAIR / Winter Dreaming EP
December 22, 2023 § Leave a comment
In my work as a Sound and Energy healer, I see how intense the time between mid-December and mid-January can be for many. If we look to nature, we can see winter is a time we should be resting but often it’s party season or can be a time of commitments to others.
So I started a series of EPs that aim to encapsulate the feeling of winter and to offer an alternate to the hustle this time can bring.
May this EP, the third in my winter series, bring you a momentary pause; time to reflect and imagine a new future during the long, dark nights of winter…
Wishing you a peaceful and beauty-filled Winter Solstice and rest of 2023.
Le grá, Laura

This is my offering for Samhain, 2023.
Samhain is the time of year that offers us an opportunity to link back to our ancestral line in the past, to link with our future ancestors and to own our place in the Circle that every human is a part of.
May this piece support you however and wherever you live.
Le meas, Laura

Helena Markos / Angels / LAIR Remix
November 25, 2022 § Leave a comment
I’m honoured to have a remix on the stunning EP ‘Integration’, by the super-talented Helena Markos
As well as writing great music, she is also the woman behind the online electronic music platform and record label Tales of Psychofonia.
The EP is the outcome of a long process that began at the onset of the 2020 pandemic…
“The EP reflects the integration process of painful parts of the self, the shadows. Its creation became a mental sanctuary and an arena for experimentation and exploration in difficult times, when words were not there.” Helena Markos
Release date: 2/12/22
1. Integration
2. Angels
3. Endlessly Submissive
4. Angels – LAIR remix

I’m happy to share my mix for SHISHI Records…
I like to create sound-collages rather than straight up mixes- putting tracks of differing sounds, vibes and rhythms together to form a hopefully interesting journey through tracks I like by artists I admire… Hope you enjoy and if you do, please go support the many awesomely talented artists, all listed below 🙏
Laura LAIR / Carry Me Home
March 17, 2022 § Leave a comment
Although it’s called St.Patrick’s Day- or Paddy’s Day if you’re Irish (*never* Patty’s Day American friends!!)- I personally don’t see March 17th as a day for Patrick but instead a day for all facets of Irish life to be celebrated- our incredible authors, musicians, artists; our beautiful language- ár theanga, Gaeilge, our rich culture and history- a history that despite what is so often projected, equally includes Herstory. And the treatment of Irish women and girls by our systems have quite often been brutal…
‘Carry Me Home’ is a piece I’ve written as a tribute to all those women who left and never got to come home to Ireland- those women who were expelled from Irish life both literally and metaphorically. As I wrote it, I remembered especially the women and babies in Tuam and around our country, who had their lives ripped apart by the Catholic church and the barbaric mother and baby homes. All those women who died subjugated by a cruel system. I wish them peace and I send them love. Suaimhneas síoraí dá n-anam.
A day that the state dedicates to a British man who perceived the native people, in his own words, as “barbarous” and who is credited with bringing the patriarchal system of Christianity to our country feels a great day to release a piece dedicated to and for the women of Ireland.
