Curator Series
A series of sessions curated by people and projects we admire. Brands, festivals, friends, and selectors invite us to listen through their ears. Here, what is heard matters as much as who chooses it.
Hi-Fi Stereo
We play digital audio of the highest quality through our analog system: tube amplifiers and OJAS KO-R1 speakers. Designed by Devon Turnbull, the KO-R1 creates hyper-realistic and detailed, warm and natural soundscapes. They generate absolute presence in the sound. In our space designed for deep listening, you will discover hidden details, textures, and movements impossible to feel in headphones.

why Tranquilizer - Oneotrhix Point Never
Daniel Lopatin found a collection of sample libraries from the 1990s on Internet Archive. When the archive disappeared, he decided to build an album from the memory of those sounds and from the idea that even digital memory can be lost. If you know Oneohtrix Point Never, this is one of his most accessible albums. And if you have never listened to him, it is a good entry point: synthesizers, orchestral fragments, found recordings, and melodies that appear and disappear without following a traditional structure.
curated by MUTEK MX
MUTEK MX is the international platform for digital creativity and electronic music that has accompanied, nurtured, and expanded the experimental scene in Mexico City since 2003. More than a festival, MUTEK MX functions as an active node within the city's cultural ecosystem: a meeting point where musicians, visual artists, designers, programmers, and audiences come together to imagine new relationships between sound, technology, and shared experience.
community rules
no phones: anything that produces sound must be stored in our secure lockers.
no talk: we keep the soundroom silent so everyone can focus on the music.
no late entry: once the soundroom doors close (20 minutes after the booking time), we cannot let anyone in.
FAQ
can i cancel my ticket?+
yes. cancel any booking through this website. you'll get credits for the seats you paid for if you cancel at least 24 hours before the session (12 hours if you have an active Sona Members or All Access subscription). inside that window the booking can still be cancelled, but no credits are issued and there are no cash refunds. credits work on any future session.
is there a dress code?+
no, but we recommend wearing something comfortable for sitting on the floor. because the room is very quiet, we recommend soft fabrics. try to avoid "noisy" synthetic materials like nylon or windbreakers, as the sound of moving in them can be distracting to others. also, we leave our shoes at the door, so we recommend wearing warm socks.
what if i can't sit on the floor?+
if you need a chair for medical or physical reasons, please let us know when you arrive.
can i buy a drink?+
yes, we serve a curated selection of non-alcoholic drinks and light snacks, but all refreshments must be finished before you enter the soundroom.
