THE BLUEPRINT OF A CITY

WHAT TO EXPECT

Jay-Z

The Blueprint

Created in seven days.

A masterclass in confidence, vulnerability, and soul sampling. The sound of a man turning ambition into architecture.

Two landmark albums.

One curated sonic journey.

A guided vinyl experience designed for listeners who want more than background noise, a space to hear, reflect, and feel the meaning behind music..

Both albums will be played in full, through rich analogue sound surrounded by community.

Kendrick Lamar

Good Kid, M. A. A. D City

A cinematic autobiography told through rhythm and reflection. A coming-of-age-story that become a mirror for every city.

Intentional

Every detail designed for connection.

After Hours is the evolution of Coffee Club, taking our daytime rhythm into the night. It's still Reconnect at it's core: intentional, soulful, and rooted in community.

Here, we gather not for noise but for presence. For conversations that happen between tracks. For the moment the beat drops and the room moves as one.

This is our new ritual:

sound + connection, deep into the evening.

Vinyl-Led

Authentic sound, curated with care.

Community First

Built by and for the people.
