CAYA: Groove Theory

💛💚 Social Activity

HOST: CAYA

An intimate night for physical music and the craft of vinyl DJing.

The Craft: Jump behind the booth and try your hand at vinyl DJing from understanding the pitch control to scratching and blending.

How Vinyl Works: A breakdown of how sound is physically pressed into a record and played back through a needle.

Why it carries warmth. How it responds to touch. Why people still choose it.

The Music Museum: Multiple record players, cassette players, and CD players will be placed throughout the living room with shared headphones for intentional joint listening sessions.

The Space: Groove Theory takes place inside The Living Room at The W Hotel — a cozy, intimate setting that feels more like someone’s home than a venue.

Close quarters. Coffee and cocktails flowing from the bar. Conversations that spill naturally onto the outdoor patio. Records passing between strangers.

It feels less like attending something and more like being invited into it.

For DJs, collectors, crate diggers, and the vinyl-curious.

For anyone who wants to understand the music more deeply.
