Spiritland, opening in September in King’s Cross, London is “a world first music-led concept built around the best sound system in the world – a one-off, exceptional creation playing original, in-depth musical programming day and night. It’s all about the music, the artist and the listening experience.” It sounds like our kind of place with a well stocked bar, a restaurant, a shop selling audio accessories, headphones, CDs and records plus a radio station featuring analogue and digital equipment.
The high end system has been put together by Kevin Scott of Living Voice and Definitive Audio and features bespoke Living Voice horn loudspeakers, which are being finished as I write this, paired with valve amplification from Italian manufacturers Atelier du Triode. While the system will be playing music of all genres all day and every day, at 6pm each week night an album will be played in it’s entirety on the Kuzma Stabi XL2 turntable. The Spiritland rotary mixer is built by Isonoe, a London-based company who hand build unique mixers and modify turntables for some of the most in-demand DJs.
