Curated in collaboration with Tru Thoughts, the series introduces a rotating programme of DJs and selectors designed for drop-in listening rather than formal performance, each evening moves between focused sets and an open environment.
The launch features Tru Thoughts founder Robert Luis and Tara Lily presenting Shakti Jazz. Exploring the relationship between ancient South Asian meditation, sonics and spiritual Jazz through improvisation, Shakti Jazz has curated bespoke vinyl DJ sets for the likes of Glastonbury, The Turner Gallery, Delhi Art Week, Brick Lane Jazz Festival and Space Talk.
Running on selected midweek dates throughout 2026, the residency sits within Corner’s ongoing programme of music-led evenings, offering an informal space for listening, gathering, and staying late in the gallery
