spots per hangout

here's what a hangout looks like

first, the theme for next hangout get’s introduced on the website and in the confirmation email after saving your spot. so you have plenty of time to select your record/track.

when arriving at the hangout, you’re welcomed at the door. ambient music is already playing. you drop your record of the name of your track at the dj booth, meet the host, find a spot. when everyone’s in, the host introduces the theme with a personal story.

one by one, someone shares their story behind the track, then it plays in full. drinks come after, by then you’ll have plenty to talk about.

  • for people who’d like to share their favorite music experiences with others.

  • no vinyl required. a title is enough.

  • max 2 minutes to share the story behind your track.

  • the chat is about what you heard. there's no right or wrong.

hosted in spaces that care about their crowd.

spaces that originated in Rotterdam, and give every hangout its own character.

built by us and the community

we started album affairs because we wanted a space where music is actually listened to, not played in the background. where showing up solo felt completely normal, and a record does the rest.

hyped to meet you at the booth.
