Vinyl centric show featuring vintage jazz, soul, and R&B - with a focus on the interplay between longform jazz pieces and the levity of short 7" soul cuts

A space for music lovers, seekers, diggers, who are always listening, featuring something new/old and always genre-less.

A show focused on gritty, danceable vinyl. Like 90% strictly Disco. Rarities and shamefully forgotten classics. Sticking around may get you some 80's favorites. In other words - Come for The Jones Girls, stay for The Pet Shop Boys.

Staying true to their SFL roots, when Sean and Benji play, the melting pot of cultures they grew up around pours out. Funk, Soul, Cumbia, House, Disco, Booty Bass, Salsa, 90s HipHop, Rave-Breaks, Jazz and World Music, are all key elements of the sonic ground they tend to cover.

Join us as we look back and honor those who had us dancing in the past, and keep us shaking booty today.

70's-era jazz/funk fusion, raw soul, breakbeats, original samples, interstellar explorations, mid-century modern lounge, beats from around the world, selected by Brooklyn-based jazz pianist & producer Jesse Fischer.

Tune in to International Dark Skies with your host, PSYCHIC WOUND, for a deep dive into the post-punk, cold wave, goth, and industrial music that defined the late 20th century. From obscure rarities to seminal tracks, each episode explores the innovative use of synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, and tape manipulation that gave birth to some of the most atmospheric and unsettling sounds in modern music.

50's - 70's Soul from the vinyl vaults of Connie T. Empress.

When my father, musician and producer Tommy West, died in 2021, I inherited a few thousand records, a mix of LPs and 45s, some of which probably were in my grandmother's collection judging by the condition. I meticulously catalogued them and realized that I only recognized about a quarter of the tracks, mostly from "compilation" cassettes (dad never said mix tapes) that he created for me when I was barely able to read through when I went to high school. I was curious about what else was in there, but self-aware enough to know I would never patiently listen to singles if left to my own devices. When Hi-Note opened, I pitched the idea that I would "just play the collection," often hearing songs for the first time. "Just play the collection" would occasionally turn into a "fuck around and find out" as some pretty racist, sexist, and otherwise unsavory shit was released back then under unassuming and un-googlable titles. (To date I think I'm the only Hi-Note show to ever come with a disclaimer.)

But for the most part, the experience has been awesome. When you listen to My Dad's Record Collection, you hear everything from your favorite tracks off of the second Dirty Dancing soundtrack album, to songs made famous via TikTok meme (played at the proper speed, of course), to Italian folk songs, to cautionary tales about how if you try to prevent teens from dating they will inevitably die in car crashes. Yes, this is a genre vast enough to make an entire hour-long set. I also recently piloted "cozy sets" when the weather is below freezing or otherwise unpleasant, where no song ever exceeds adante (110 bpm or below), perfect for a date night or smokey cocktail.

And finally, the promised disclaimer: My Dad's Record Collection contains vinyl from all genres dating from the 1940s through the 1960s, and the music can be reflective of the time in some ugly ways. While I try to screen for material that blows past "it was a different time" into indisputably vile (ex. outdated gender roles or murder ballads OK, insult comedy songs which include obvious racial slurs NOT OK), I don't always catch everything, so the occasional track may make it to air that is offensive.

Songs with the cosmic sound. Bringing a selection of cosmic grooves across genres every month.

Bringing you a spicy mix of music from different flavors of genres, cultures, time periods, countries, and more! Always gonna be changing things up to keep you on your toes, enjoy :)

Join us as we look back and honor those who had us dancing in the past, and keep us shaking booty today.

Everything I like was once foreign to me. Some shit I loved right away, but a lot of it was not my liking - until I heard the right note in the right setting. This show for me is a space to weave familiar with unfamiliar, mainstream with the niche.

Any genre, any era, any style.

We all let loose eventually.

Uncommon Nasa presents a collector's reggae show featuring 100% vinyl (and mostly 45s) on the wheels. Most of the time you'll hear him spinning 80's digital and early dancehall, but his sets can be known to dip into sounds as far back as Rocksteady, deep into Roots, moving into 90's classic dancehall and on through current eurodub-digi releases.

A monthly slot where I play everything from 90’s hip hop to world groove. Some shows would be looking at a specific artist like Toumani Diabaté or The Alchemist. Others would be based on an instrument group like percussion or string instruments. Additionally, shows may be based on a niche genre like Zouk or Highlife. The ultimate goal is educating the listener and opening them up to music they may not know.

Halcyon Nights is a neon-soaked spaceship hurdling through the stars on the beats of retrowave, synthwave, chiptune, citypop, and everything else soaked in 80s synth nostalgia. Kick back as the sounds transport you away—to a San Junipero wonderland of the imagined past or an ever-expansive digital deep space—on synths that get your body grooving and pull on your heartstrings.
