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.

An eclectic mix of soulful, funky treats!

I love digging for music and I love sharing music…. I like to pretend I am archaeologist :-) this show is all about the gold I find.

VIANI Sounds provides a musical backdrop for the creative thinkers. A collection of sonics ranging from hip hop, jazz, electronic, indie but not limited to constraints. Intended to inspire creative thoughts, feelings and energy into everyones time. All music is exclusively played off original vinyl records and listened to at high fidelity, designed for the music purist.

All vinyl, I collect music from around the world. Pulling from around 17k LPs, I specialize in Reggae/Dub, Afrobeats, Disco/Funk, and Jazz. Re-contextualizing forgotten and under-appreciated music. Great art museums are often able to create new insights and conversations by juxtaposing seemingly-unrelated pieces. My goal in amassing my collection and sharing it is to spark these dialogues and strengthen human connection through music. This connection often happens on the dancefloor, but that location isn't required. bullrog's wax lilypad will be a place to share some of the more interesting pieces from the collection and will represent an attempt to place them in a new and hopefully novel context.

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.

A journey through Oldies, Hip-Hop and R&B

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.
