What began as a culture of dedicated listening in Japan has inspired listening spaces around the world, including Nelson’s own pop-up listening club. Grid Listening Club, a musical project founded by music lovers Kasteniede & MP, draws inspiration from Japan’s listening bars where music takes centre stage.
Whether reading, sketching, knitting, moving, or simply listening, Grid Listening Club 2.0 invites you to experience electronic music beyond the club.
