ART/ST Analog Club - Session #08 (Songs You Grew Up With)

In a world that moves too fast, we’re pressing pause. We’re gathering 20 music lovers for a slow-down session centered around the records that shaped us.

This isn't just about the music; it’s about the "why." Whether it’s the album that got you through a breakup, a hand-me-down from your parents, or a hidden gem you found in a dusty crate—we want to hear the story behind the record.

At 8:00 PM sharp, the doors lock. We sink into total, uninterrupted listening. We will spin legendary motion picture soundtracks—from timeless 70s scores and synth-heavy 80s cult classics to contemporary cinematic masterpieces. As the music plays, we will pass these iconic album covers around the room, experiencing cinema purely through sound.

The doors reopen at 8:45 PM, and the floor belongs to you. Sticking to our movie soundtrack theme, we invite you to bring a record featuring a film score, a iconic needle-drop soundtrack, or a track made famous by a film. We’ll play your vinyl on our platter and share the personal stories of the movies and scenes tied to those records.

We close the night with an open discussion. We'll trade movie score recommendations, talk about our favorite film composers, and connect with fellow music lovers over a shared passion for physical media.

Got a record that instantly takes you back? Dig through your parents' (or grandparents') dusty crates, and bring it down for this session. We’re spinning the tracks that raised us: the albums that looped on endless family road trips, the embarrassing friendship anthems, or that one song tied to a core memory you can't shake. Bring a vinyl, drop the needle on your favorite track, and tell us the story behind it.

This is not a casual background-music hangout. This is a communal, deep-listening sanctuary. We are gathering a tight circle of 20 music lovers, locking the doors, and spending 90 minutes rediscovering the magic, warmth, and cinematic scale of analog audio.

• Ears Open, Phones Down: We listen in silence once the needle drops.
• Bring Your Stories: If you have a record with a personal story or memory attached to it, bring it along to share with the circle.

Guest Speaker = Robin Chua, or KiDG (often known online as kkkidggg) is a prominent Singapore-based DJ and music curator widely recognized for bringing infectious energy and eclectic sounds to the local nightlife scene. As a resident DJ for legendary club nights like POPTART and TIKO DISKO, he seamlessly blends a diverse palette of genres—ranging from indie rock and synth-pop to funk, dub, and Italo disco. Driven by a personal philosophy to "just have a bloody good time," KiDG delivers sets that prioritize dancefloor joy and musical discovery, making him a beloved fixture in Singapore's alternative music community.

To preserve the focus of the session, we ask all attendees to honor our three pillars:

1. Handle Records with Care: Respect the physical medium, whether it’s yours or not.
2. Listen Actively: This is a phone-down, ears-open space. We listen in silence once the needle drops.
3. Embrace the Discovery: Be open to sounds and stories outside your usual rotation.

• Your Ears: Bringing a record is not required—everyone is welcome to simply join the circle and listen.
• A Record (Optional): If you have a record (33/45/78 RPM) with a personal story you'd like to share, bring it along! Number tags for sharing slots are issued on a first-come basis at the door.
• Your Presence: Please silence all mobile devices upon entry to maintain the active listening environment.
