We’re back for year five 🖐️ and settling into what we do best: records played front to back, in good company, with time and space to actually listen.
Each night begins with a short, relaxing guided meditation to bring the room together. Then we drink tea, snack a little, listen to a full album uninterrupted, and hang afterward to talk about what we just heard—no pressure, no right answers.

Week 5:
Nicolas Jaar “Space is Only Noise "
Nicolás Jaar — Space Is Only Noise is a defining debut that reshaped electronic music in the 2010s with its patient, introspective, and deeply textured soundworld. Released in 2011 when Jaar was just 21, the album blurs the lines between deep house, ambient, jazz, field recordings, and found sound, inviting listeners into a contemplative sonic space that rewards immersion more than impulse dancing. Rooted in sparse rhythms, drifting piano figures, subtle vocal fragments, and richly layered samples, Space Is Only Noise feels like a late-night dialogue between the organic and electronic — melancholic, mysterious, and unmistakably human. Critics hailed it as one of the year’s most original electronic records, and it has endured as a touchstone for genre-defying, emotionally resonant production.
