- “We have zero tolerance for violence, racism, transphobia, sexism, or any other discriminatory language or behavior. If you see something, say something.”
The HiFi’s Sunset Sessions return once again, where local selectors are given an open-air home against an unbeatable New York City skyline.
Taking place across unconventional urban pockets, these sessions are designed for deep exploration of house, disco, acid, and breaks. The soundtrack drifts naturally with the day, transitioning from sun-soaked rhythmic grooves to darker hypnotic selections as the city cools down.
We are bringing Morgan Audio's custom sound system back to the rooftop: a full-range setup paired with dual subwoofers built to deliver rich, physical sound. Add a curated cocktail bar, locally sourced botanical offerings, and rotating guest chefs firing up food on-site, and you have a space intentionally designed for connection and movement - a party with no bounds.
Lineup : // [5-645] RICK E // [645-830] Black Pomade // [830-1015] CHASKE

LOCATION
We throw our parties in non-club spaces, with a focus on bringing dance music culture into distinctive third spaces across New York City. That means every venue comes with its own character, and sometimes its own limitations. Bathrooms may be tight, you might be in someone's home, or the space may come with its own specific set of rules. Respect the space and the people in it.

COMMUNITY
Community, respect, and safety are at the core of what we do. Come to dance, meet new friends, and discover new sounds and artists. We have zero tolerance for violence, racism, transphobia, sexism, or any other discriminatory language or behavior. If you see something, say something.

their own biography
the whole biography
I’ve been DJing for three years, but over the past year I’ve really focused on taking my sets to the next level. I draw inspiration from a wide range of music and appreciate the interplay of different instruments and textures. I never stick to just one sub-genre and approach each set as an opportunity to explore, surprise, and create something dynamic. I’ve always loved music, making playlists, and curating vibes, and that curiosity shapes every mix I play. For me, DJing is about taking the crowd on a journey, blending unexpected sounds, building energy, and creating moments that move people and make them feel seen. I am constantly working to improve, experimenting with new tracks and techniques, and striving to leave every dance floor buzzing with energy and good vibesRecently at Jupiter Disco, Pinky Swear, Rebecca's · often with Tim Dauz, Vans, Wolfy, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Influenced by the sound of Chicago House as well as the Riviera House scene of the ’90s and early ’00s, he's known for a melting pot of analog synths, groovy basslines, and syncopated rhythms. His sets travel through classic House, Acid, Detroit Techno, and Progressive House—striking the right balance between cheeky grooves and psychedelic soundscapes, taking the dancefloor on a journey of high energy and big smiles. Between 2021 and 2023, he ran a residency at MusicBox Lisbon focused on connecting the Italian and Portuguese scenes. Besides his regular shows in Lisbon and Milan, throughout the years he has had the chance to bring his sound around Europe and Asia, playing in places like Bangkok, Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, London, and Sofia, among others—sharing the line-up with artists like Emmanuelle, Kamma & Masalo, Hunee, Don Carlos, Satoshi Tomiie, and the living legend Nicky Siano. He has also contributed to renowned podcast series, including a full mix for the long-running channel Gazzz696, awarded Mix of the Day by Resident Advisor. Black Pomade has released music on Last Forever Records, Wilson Records, Rollover Milano Anything Goes, Stereo Ferment, Youngbloods, and on vinyl for Martino Edits and Windmill Re-Edits.
