Inside Kiku: the needle coming down on a record, the amplifier meters, a singing bowl played to the room, a hand flipping through the record shelves, the room on a Tuesday night, and a run of record covers

We believe in a new way to gather around music.

The story behind the album. Sound bowls to clear the mind. Then the record, front to back, with nobody talking over it.

Three things working together to help us connect. It starts with the listening room.

Come with your people, or come on your own. Stay as long as you want.

Why the room exists.

A Tuesday at 915 Dupont.

“There’s a warmth to it that makes a room full of strangers feel like a community. I’ll leave feeling a little more connected than when I arrived.”
Duane W., Kiku patron
