The hall
The Docks were built in 1912 to hold goods before they entered the city: wine and cheese in the cellars, an ice store filling an entire wing. Wagons came off the Turin-Milan line on a loop track and unloaded straight onto the platform.

The peak to the lights. Faster, and nothing after 06:00.
02:00
The floor
Concrete underfoot, brick to the ceiling, and a steel walkway overhead you can see the floor through. The bass arrives through the slab before it reaches your ears. There is nothing to look at except the room.
No photos on the floor
Phones stay in pockets during sets. Nobody here is performing for a camera, and that is most of what the room is for.

- Four stacks down the long axis, sub wall on the concrete
- Light
- Sodium work lights, one beam over the floor
- Haze
- Constant, all night
- Screens
- None
- Floor
- Concrete, with a steel walkway above it

The peak
Raccordo, from 04:00 to close.
The haze is at its thickest here and the beam is the only light in the hall. Last orders at the bar, 05:30.
06:00
Lights
The lights come up at 06:00.
Getting home
Night Buster buses run on Friday and Saturday from 23:00 to 05:00, and every line ends at piazza Vittorio Veneto. After 05:00 you are walking.
