Field Notes 03: FM Tokyo

Field Notes 03 is our third installment of a vinyl listening series led by industry selectors and their approach to record curation. Our selector for this third session is Hao浩然, co-founder of two New York cocktail bars, 929 inspired by Mandopop & Cantopop, and 56709 influenced by Japanese City Pop, who uses music to bridge cultures and introduce audiences to the dancefloor potential of Asian pop music. Using City Pop pioneers like Tatsuro Yamashita and Anri as a starting point, he will explore the broader landscape of Japanese pop music. Expect everything from 80s icons like Akina Nakamori to Japanese R&B trailblazers like DOUBLE, alongside icons such as Hikaru Utada. The listening session will run approximately 45-60 minutes. Custom mixer by House Under Magic, speakers by Joel Seigle. Vinyl stocked by Freakout Spot will be available for purchase. Tickets are limited as the program will be intimate. Car Part Time members will receive a code for complimentary tickets. Doors close promptly at 7:00 PM and the listening session will begin immediately. Out of respect for the experience and fellow guests, we ask that conversation be kept to a minimum during the listening portion of the program. Following the session, the space will open up for conversation and connection as guests are invited to explore a selection of themed cars, spend time throughout the showroom and garage, and enjoy the atmosphere while the selector continues spinning into the evening. Beer and a natural wine selection will be available for purchase.
