Room 1 Book club soundtrack | Room 2 DJ set
Host: @btmrecords
Info: An exploration of a poetry book: Goblino inspired by BTM’s 2025 project of the same title.
The book is a four-poem cycle that uses the palindrome format as its main concept - the idea of coming full circle. Since a palindrome reads the same forwards and backwards, the structure represents the full-circle theme of Goblino.
Join BTM to explore the ideas covered in both projects, the connection between the musical and written offerings, and the creative process behind the palindrome structure.

Room 1 Curated vinyl listening session | Room 2 DJ set
Host: ChefKD
Info: This isn’t the usual amapiano or Afrobeats playlist. I’ll be digging into African funk, highlife, Afrobeat, soukous, jazz-fusions and other dancefloor sounds that deserve a little more time in the spotlight!
Expect infectious rhythms, big grooves and records that make you want to move. Be ready to throw in a little two-step, a little shoulder work, or whatever your dancefloor language is.
Come ready to dance!
