COZY Live Session at Habibi Kiosk — Full Recap
XAY and ANACY brought raw R&B energy to Munchner Kammerspiele's project space while SONGO and CHADEE held it down on the decks.
May 3, 2024. Habibi Kiosk at the Munchner Kammerspiele. Free entry. Three hours. No separation between performer and audience. This is what COZY Live Session is about.
The Kammerspiele — Munich's most celebrated theater — has a project space called Habibi Kiosk. It's a glass-fronted space at street level, designed for experimental programming. When they invited COZY to curate a session, we knew exactly what to do.
The Format
COZY Live Session strips everything back. No stage. No VIP. No barrier between the artists and the people. SONGO and CHADEE set up in one corner with their decks. XAY and ANACY performed in the middle of the room, surrounded on all sides.
The audience — maybe 80 people at peak — could feel the bass in their chest. Could see the sweat on XAY's forehead during the high notes. Could watch SONGO's hands on the mixer in real time.
The Music
XAY opened with a stripped-back R&B set that silenced the room. No backing track — just voice and CHADEE's live beat selections. ANACY followed with something darker, more electronic, blending live vocals with effects processing that turned the kiosk into a cathedral of sound.
Between the vocal performances, SONGO held it down with DJ sets that kept the energy moving — hip-hop into soul into beats, seamless and unhurried.
Why It Mattered
Events like this are the core of what COZY does. Free, intimate, community-first. No ticket barrier. No Instagram-optimized production. Just music, people, and a space that feels safe enough to let go.
The Kammerspiele partnership opened doors for us in Munich's institutional art scene. It showed that what we do — curating sound experiences for subculture — belongs in cultural spaces, not just clubs.
We're planning more Live Sessions for 2026. Different venues, different artists, same principle: strip it back, make it real.
