How a night goes

Two seatings, six and eight. Come with your people, or come on your own, both happen every week.

It opens with sound bowls, to clear the mind before anything plays.

Then the story: the record, the artist, why it matters.

Then the album, beginning to end.

Then stay as long as you want.

From the journal

The stories behind the records, written between sessions.

Steven started this to give something back to a city he'd given up on. Read why →

One room leads to another.

All of them are listening. Only the direction changes.

The meditation room

Listening inward.

Pause and Expand. Live, twice a week, before the day starts.

The ambient room

Listening with nothing asked of you.

Kampala Social Club. Six tracks, thirty minutes, meant to be heard whole.
