Koda is a 30-square meter listening space to celebrate sound in all its forms.
A hidden gem in the centuries-old wooden walls of the monumental Sodafabriek in Schiedam, Koda is an accessible, open space where sound is not in the background, but at the center. The small floor plan offers a unique, intimate environment designed for immersive musical experiences, from curated listening sessions with live music and DJ-sets to album release parties, workshops and community events.
In a world saturated with disposable music, we strive to revive the art of active listening within a non-commercial, culturally rich space. Our mission is to shift the focus from quantity to quality, reigniting appreciation for music that truly resonates while reconnecting people with the deep cultural significance of sound.
We offer a platform for creative exchange and uplift underground culture, celebrating music in all its forms. As a non-profit organization, Koda is dedicated to nurturing local culture and talent — be it organizers, musicians, or DJs — fostering a space where quality music can thrive and be appreciated by all.
