Listening Room: Analog Funk — Vinyl selections by ABUNAI and Solotape

​Join us for the first edition of Listening Room at York Street Collective. To kick things off, ABUNAI and Solotape will spin an all-vinyl selection on the theme Analog Funk. Expect a journey through funky grooves tracing the genre’s evolution — from retro records of the ’70s and ’80s to contemporary pressings — accompanied with light commentary on the chosen records.

​Listening Room is a series of guided listening sessions curated by local artists — each exploring a distinct musical narrative — presented live on our hi-fi sound system. Silence is expected once the music starts. Please step outside or to the back of the space if you need to talk.

​​​​The space will be open 3pm onwards with non-alcoholic cocktails and tea for sale. Music starts at 7.30pm.
