Behind the decks in early April: the team from Optimal Recordstore, essential part of Munich’s music scene for more than 40 years. For this listening session they’ll dig into their record stock and private collections, bringing along a selection that reflects decades of listening and collecting.
Expect an eclectic wide-ranging journey through the crates from ambient to dub, avant-garde to post-jazz, new wave to independent. Hidden gems, personal favourites, and unexpected connections, all played the way they’re meant to be heard: on vinyl.
Join us for an evening of deep listening, crate-digger knowledge, and music beyond the algorithm.
You don’t need four to the floor to dance.
**********
With Rooms For Music: Blitz Listening Sessions, we lean into something quieter and perhaps more radical. Across twelve Thursday evenings, we refurnish the floor at Blitz Club into a casual bar and hangout space, complete with special drinks, as local collectives, labels and community-driven initiatives take over to curate nights devoted not to dancing, but to listening.
Inspired by classic listening sessions yet firmly rooted in Munich’s present, Rooms For Music shifts attention to the B-sides and the details between the beats, reconnecting with our former format Before The Party Starts. We open the series with evenings hosted by the labels Ilian Tapeand Squama, with more to follow. Each invited group shapes its own dramaturgy: from ambient excursions, artist talks and deep techno meditations to jazz-informed dialogues, post-punk reflections and beyond. We’re excited to see these ideas unfold and where the series will go!
The dancefloor becomes a seated space for concentrated listening on Blitz’s finely tuned sound system. Donation-based entry keeps it accessible.
Rooms For Music is dedicated to sounds and sonic expressions rarely heard within the club’s walls before we close our first chapter on the Museumsinsel. We’re opening our private ritual and inviting everyone to join.
