Weekly

New Music Mondays

New music goes out on a Monday before it reaches a room. One curated set a week. One record that caught us and one that will not leave.

Not an event brand. A room.

Producers, MCs, photographers, designers, DJs. The room fills with people who make things for a living. Twelve years of it. The smaller room is the one people remember.
