Audio & Acoustics
Massive geeks on sound, from the very beginning we've thought about the acoustics of the build, angled ceilings and walls, acoustic treatments and finely tuned sound systems. We have our own custom built sound system 'Poseidon' - which is an audiophile PA system, meaning it's both suitable for high fidelty listening and live music that requires a fast impulse response.
Lighting & Art
We've also designed and built our own custom dynamic light & art installations, built within the structure of the building to create an ever changing immersive experience.
We have a strong focus on elecĀtronĀic music but will also be putting on music from around the world, Jazz, ClasĀsiĀcal, live AmbiĀent and TechĀno, Noise, Bosa Nova etc.
Itās an open-plan, one room space with iconĀic sunĀset seavĀiew scenes across MarĀgateās kaleiĀdoĀscopĀic skies.
