↳ Who runs the nights

A society
of hosts.

People who care how music is heard, and what it does to a room. Every night is theirs: they choose the record, hold the ritual and open the door.

  1. 01
    At home

    Your living room, your record, up to 20 people who came to listen.

  2. 02
    At a listening bar

    Most bars talk over their system. Take three hours of a bar's programming, run the ritual, split the door.

  3. 03
    As a venue

    Run Side A nights in your bar, shop or studio, with your own staff as hosts.
