Free all-vinyl listening party at Berlin in Minneapolis's North Loop to hear Alice Coltrane's 'Universal Consciousness'.
Berlin is hosting a vinyl listening party for Alice Coltrane's Universal Consciousness on Thursday, October 29. The record will play from start to finish, and the room will be open for the full hour, from 10 PM to 11 PM.
If you're not familiar with the record, Universal Consciousness is one of Coltrane's most expansive works, blending jazz with harp and a wide array of percussion. It's the kind of album that usually asks for your full attention, and that's exactly what a listening party is for—sitting with a record from the first track to the last rather than having it on in the background. Hearing it on vinyl in a room with other people changes the experience, turning a solo listen into something shared.
Berlin is a music lounge in the North Loop, located at 204 N First St. It's a dedicated space for jazz improvisation, experimental music, and various electronic genres. Beyond live concert series and artist residencies, it hosts vinyl listening parties and open jams, and runs high-energy, all-vinyl dance parties that dig into deep cuts across funk, disco, and house. The room is complemented by a kitchen that serves small plates and cocktails, so you can grab a drink or a snack while the record plays.
