Debut Pop-Up at Greenwich Rhythm and Taste Festival

London, July 2025 – A new design studio is reimagining the way we listen. CONGREGATION, founded by Greg Chapman of FEEL FLOWS COLLECTIVE and BCS Studios, creates immersive, analogue-first environments that bring emotional focus back to sound. Blending high-fidelity audio, architectural craft and sensory storytelling, the studio designs spaces where music is not background – but centre stage.

CONGREGATION’s work focuses on two formats: KISSA, a modern reinterpretation of the Japanese listening bar, conceived as a permanent room for hospitality, culture, and retail; and KADŌ, a modular, mobile structure designed for residencies, brand collaborations and festivals. Each project is designed holistically – integrating spatial acoustics, signature scent, interior materiality and curated analogue playback.

The studio makes its public debut at Greenwich Rhythm and Taste Festival on Saturday 26 July 2025, where it will power the Vinyl Lounge, an immersive pop-up created in collaboration with re:sonate DJs. Set on the Greenwich Peninsula, the space invites visitors into a calm, emotionally charged live listening environment.

The Vinyl Lounge blends live DJ sets, curated record crates from Rook Records, tastings by Black Wine Club, and free vinyl cleaning provided by Loricraft. At its core is a fully analogue, precision-tuned system featuring revered names from the high-end audio world – including modern Altec-inspired loudspeakers from Admire Audio, analogue amplification by McIntosh Labs, precision styli from JICO, and supporting components from Ray Tubes, Western Electric, Crafted Acousique, and CONGREGATION’s scent collaborator Narici. Tickets for the event can be purchased here

“We founded CONGREGATION to make space for sound again – not as background, but as architecture, atmosphere, and emotion,” says founder Greg Chapman. “The Vinyl Lounge is a preview of what we’re building – focused listening in a cultural context.”

Following the festival, CONGREGATION will begin production of its first KADŌ structure (pictured) in Autumn 2025, to be made available for brand partnerships, cultural institutions and private commissions from 2026.
