Jon Hopkins 'Music For Psychedelic Therapy'

January 3, 4, 5, 2024

Shows at 7pm and 8:15pm nightly

In partnership with UK-based listening series, Pitchblack Playback, Lobe is hosting listening sessions of Jon Hopkins’ immersive album, ‘Music for Psychedelic Therapy’ in spatial audio. The album is 60 minutes long, and will be played in the dark.

Guests will be invited to lay out on Lobe’s haptic floor, and, in the tradition of all Pitchblack Playback events, eye masks will be available.

"Music For Psychedelic Therapy is the first album I made which was designed to go beyond stereo. The first time I heard it this way, it was like just diving into the music and inhabiting it entirely. I'm really happy to announce you can now come and hear this album how it was designed to be heard.” —Jon Hopkins

Pitchblack Playback hosts classic and pre-release album and mixtape listening sessions in the dark on great sound systems around the world. Founded in 2016 by London-based DJ and producer, Ben Gomori, their events seek to provide a space where music-lovers can gather to enjoy music in great clarity and detail with no distractions. It's a simple idea, but one that's more than the sum of its parts.
