A monthly vinyl session exploring the beauty and warmth of early deep house, a sound that rarely surfaces in today's club settings. Rooted in a relentless search for the groove, each episode moves between the smooth, soulful textures of 90s New York deep house and the more hypnotic, spacey grooves of early UK tech house. Adham juggles the upbeat and the underground, building sonic landscapes that feel obscure and familiar all at once. You'll find yourself your patience rewarded when pulled in slowly by two seemingly opposing sounds. Simple, unpretentious, and always satisfying, just like the dish. Join us for an intimate journey through the warmer, deeper corners of the crate.

DJ Pepperazzi is a Brooklyn-based photographer and vinyl DJ whose favorite flavors are disco, electronic, new rave, dance punk, and pepperoni.

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.

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.

For the Late Listeners.

If you set your mind free, baby, maybe you'd understand

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.

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.

Freeform show blending hip-hop influences with personal reflections. Each set feels like a page out of my diary, capturing diverse beats and lyrical tales.

'Back in Rotation' is a show founded on the concept of sharing and appraising records and tracks from artists known and unknown, where the listener will hear music long forgotten in dollar bins and dusty crates. [Admittedly, primarily procured from my consistent hunt for samples / good music in general.]

Don't expect to hear hit classics / fan favorites: music heard here will be generally 'deeper cut': prime for sampling [if that's your thing], and off the beaten path with many genres: soul, funk, disco, jazz, house, soundtracks, etc.

These records that once were enjoyed in homes and venues, landed at some point in crates for music lovers to rediscover, listen and share...

...I'm putting them back to work, back to satisfy open-minded, curious audiences: I'm putting them Back in Rotation.

...Let's get these wheels spinning.
