Not-so-well-known names, but worth listening to. Sessions to discover new emotions, colors, and sounds. Come with curiosity and open ears.
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 Troupeau Bleu – Cortex
For decades, millions of people heard fragments of Troupeau Bleu without knowing where they came from. Its songs were sampled by artists like MF DOOM, Madlib, Tyler, the Creator, Lupe Fiasco or Kanye West, turning the album into a fundamental piece of hip-hop’s language. This session proposes doing the reverse: listening to the full album from which all those fragments came. Discovering that behind some of the most famous samples of the last thirty years there is an album with its own identity, where jazz, funk, bossa and soul coexist with a naturalness that still sounds ahead of its time.

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.
