Dispatches from the build. First word on opening.
The Idea
An intimate room built around a serious sound system and thousands of records. Where listening is the focus, sides and full albums play curated by the host and visiting DJs.
A daily program designed around a theme, artist, label, or genre. Listening parties for album releases, private events, and surprises.
Coffee, tea, and matcha by day. Beer, sake, and natural wine by night, with select whiskeys and light fare. Recorded music the way it's meant to be heard. Full albums, played all the way through. A good room, a great stereo, and the time to just sit and listen.
The name is inspired by the ongaku kissa listening café culture in Japan and "Kizza Me," the great song that opens Big Star's Third/Sister Lovers. This is what it sounds like.
Be first through the door.
