synergistic sounds from the mind, body and spirit

Italian Tendenza is a monthly two-hour sonic journey through underground house textures, hosted by l'oggetto. Layering Balearic atmospheres, jazz/funk swagger, abstract soundscapes, electronic attitude, and building up into moody, deep, percussive, and euphoric vibes, the show explores the enduring cross-pollination of sounds between Italy, Detroit, Chicago, and New York. Expect uncompromising music selection—raw yet dreamy, sharp but smooth, leftfield and trippy, visceral and hypnotic, transcendental and funky—blended with l'oggetto's signature style and iconoclastic humor.

Kissa Mode is a vinyl first music experience breaking the unrecorded rules of record cafes.

getting your essential goods one track at a time.

Power pop, which has its roots in 70s rock, is somewhat difficult to describe but you know it when you hear it. There's an innocence in the melodies and guitar riffs that makes us feel a tad lighter and often happier.

Soulful and contemporary sounds spanning R&B, House, Funk, Jazz, Hip-Hop, and more.

DJ Inbetween spins almost entirely 7-Inch vinyl sets, covering a wide range of genres but mainly focusing on funk, soul, rare groove, hip-hop, and electro. There will always be jaunts into leftfield and other areas like world music, jazz, and psychedelia, and a theme often connects each set.

music that feels like the sky

Curated selection of old and new releases with a focus on club music from around the world.

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.

Musica unica del mundo unico

In Italian, “aperitivo” is the drink which opens your stomach for meal. You have your aperitivo at your local "bar/caffetteria" before lunch or dinner, chat about your day along with your neighbors at the bar counter, relax and free your mind before going home or out to eat.

As a radio show, Aperitivo brings to you a fitting atmosphere for post-work musical decompression, one in which to connect with your neighbors whilst exploring the many sounds of this world - just at that hour in which your belly begins to call, and a neat cocktail along with the perfect record is all one need to set the mood for a continued journey through work, or prep for night out in dance.

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.

Boogie, House, Balearic, and more from the In Sheep's Clothing member

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.

Hi-Note invites some of the finest curators and DJs from NYC and beyond.
