Blending the colourful ’summer of love’ sounds of 60s psychedelia and 90s rave, with a healthy dose of jazz, funk, reggae, and hip hop added to the melting pot, Cryptical Listening brings a variety of styles under the same cosmic umbrella - old to new, local to international.

Having aired every first Thursday monthly since 2019, Cryptical Listening seeks to free your mind from the technicality of genre-based pigeon-holes to allow an hour’s-worth of appreciation for music of all cultures, contexts, and colours, which is an ethos clearly expressed through the ‘Keep It Cryptic’ party lineups, bringing guitar-driven bands under the same warehouse roof as techno-slamming DJs. Whether it’s the darker, bass-heavy breaks, or the lighter soulful boom bap, or Turkish folk gems, or acidified disco edits - you can really expect the unexpected here.

A b-boy in the 80s, raver in the 90s, Rob Soulfood started DJing in 1990 and is still djing all over, playing all genres to all ages. From house, through to old school, chill out sunset/sunrise vibes! "The music I collect and play has to have a certain vibe, melody, harmony and groove what ever the genre. I also double up as Loose Joints with another local DJ, Alex Traska. The mixes here speak for themselves, with amazing sound quality, and track selection which for me is paramount. Enjoy and share the love!"
