KŌZĒ Sessions

KŌZĒ is basically an excuse to play good records, get people in the same room and hopefully build something decent around music in Burnley and beyond.

It came from spending far too much time collecting records, DJing, digging for music and wondering why there weren’t more places locally for people who are into this sort of thing. Not necessarily a full-blown club night, and not somewhere you need to know the entire Discogs catalogue to fit in either. Just somewhere with good music, decent sound and people who actually want to be there.

That’s what KŌZĒ Sessions are about.

Musically, expect house, deep house, minimal, tech house, garage, breaks and whatever else makes sense at the time. Sets are generally long and given room to go somewhere. It might start fairly laid-back and end up considerably less so.

There are records for sale at the events as well, so you can have a dig through those, have a drink, have a dance, talk to somebody or just stand there listening. Nobody’s going to make you network.

The idea behind KŌZĒ is pretty simple: music is better when there are other people around to share it with. It shouldn’t matter whether you’ve been collecting records for twenty years or heard your first proper house tune last week. No dress code, no music snobbery and no requirement to pretend you know the B-side.

For the time being, KŌZĒ is popping up in different venues and seeing what works. The longer-term idea is to eventually have a permanent home — part listening space, part record shop, part café and somewhere people can come together around music.

But there’s no point getting carried away just yet.

For now, we’re putting some nights on.

Come down.
