The System
6-8 Botsford Street
Sound Service Station is a guided listening experience, hosted by Linga Sound.
An experienced selector will explore a genre / place / catalogue that is important to them, in a 90 minute deep listening session, with time for your questions.
The evening evolves into a DJ set, with space to move / dance / talk / commune.
Intimate, low capacity, cosy. Listening, learning, moving.

In the second of this autumn series, SSS welcomes British-Khmer DJ, selector and educator KomKom for a focus on Cambodian pop, exploring the joyful sounds of the Cambodian psychedelic rock of the sixties, through to contemporary music that blends traditional Cambodian instruments with hip hop, dance music, and experimental electronica.
Music has been used to both tell the story of the tragic events of the Khmer Rouge era and in the service of cultural renewal. Music connects Cambodian people to the past, as well as connecting diaspora communities to the homeland. It carries the memories of the people as well as looking towards the future.
Kom Kom is a resident DJ for Rebel Soul at Shambala Festival, and likes percussive bassy music from everywhere. She runs the club night DiaspoRiddim with Disorientalist and Palanca Negra, which is dedicated to the music that is created when borders are crossed and cultures are blended and reborn in sound. Kom has a monthly residency on Sheffield's Kitchen Radio with a show East Beat, which is an exploration of music from East and South East Asia and the diasporas. She has previously had residencies for Sheffield's Mondo Radio, and Liverpool's Melodic Distraction, as well as creating guest shows for Hong Kong Community Radio, and Hanoi Community Radio.
