“The Sound of New York City® is a project born from the idea of its founder back in 2006 to encourage the rediscovery of the Disco Sound, including Soul – Funk – House, while at the same time make use of his extensive vinyl collection, much of which was gathered from underground sources, dating back to 1975.

In December 2009 the initial project was transformed into a live, 24/7 web radio station:
TSoNYC™ The Sound of New York City™ . The station’s programming is based on the history of New York’s clubs like “Paradise Garage” and “The Loft”, with their protagonists Larry Levan and David Mancuso, as well as Detroit and Chicago with “The Warehouse” and “The Gallery”, where Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy spread their style. The TSoNYC sound includes Nu-Disco and Deep House, showcasing DJ contemporaries such as Moodymann, Theo Parrish, LTJ experience, and others who are now contributing to the rediscovery of this immortal music.

The growing interest for this genre of music is being demonstrated as our site last year reached more than 14 thousand visitors, with tremendous audiences tuning not only within the USA and Canada, but also in Germany, Greece, Japan, Russia, France, Poland, England and Italy as well.

Jimi Needles' musical roots are in hip hop, soul, funk, and disco, but on the turntables he combines pin-point scratching, intricate cuts, breaks, and bass music to craft a unique and high-energy sound that spans genres and keeps the crowd moving! His dynamic sets always pay homage to old-school classics while blending modern sounds, ensuring every performance is one-of-a-kind.

Known for his genre-defying party mixtapes, deck-defying festival performances, and an array of bootlegs and original productions on labels like Swing & Bass, Thick Boy Records, and Jungle Strikes, Jimi has built a reputation as both a skilled turntablist and an innovative producer.

In November 2024, he released his debut album, ''Ample Clearance'', a self-produced project that showcases his versatility as an artist, as a writer, a DJ and a producer. Jimi is also one of the tour DJs for the Symphonica Orchestra, adding his super-tight skills to their live and electric renditions of club classic dance hits.

Hip Hop Lover. Original Junglist. Beats & Beeps.

Music has always been a major part of the life of Danilo Braca aka danyb. His father was an avid record collector of rock & roll and r&b from the 50’s and 60’s, and a collector of vintage musical instruments. He founded the first Hi Fidelity magazine in Italy in the early 70’s and was an obvious influence on Danilo’s choice of a career path. 

This early exposure to all things musical led Danilo to build his own music collection very early on, and to confidently start mixing for parties in Perugia at the age of13, just around the time of the burgeoning popularity of house music. Many opportunities followed until he found himself playing at major local clubs like Etoile 54, Bibos or DejaVu. His career then moved further along, allowing him to play in Rome, Bologna, Florence, Treviso and many other cities around Italy, followed by international credits such as Cuba, Dominican Republic, Canada, Spain, France or the famous Air Club in Tokyo. 

An autodidact with an obvious passion for new technologies and a gift for mastering computer programs, Danilo also became highly skilled in the field of Sound Engineering (live mixing and studio recording & editing) and Music Production. 

The combination of his depth of music knowledge and technical skills led him to design and create a continually operating web radio station, TSoNYC, The Sound of New York City. The name of the radio refers to a specific genre of dance music, that Danilo always had a keen interest and taste for, based on the history of New York’s clubs like Paradise Garage and The Loft (with their protagonists Larry Levan and David Mancuso) and by extension the influence of Chicago (with The Warehouse and The Music Box, where Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy created the house music movement). The sophisticatedly elaborated radio program combines a large selection of rare Disco, Funk, Soul & electronic music representing Danilo’s unique collection, as well as guest DJ mixes. Some of TSoNYC’s collaborators and featured artists include renowned DJ/producers like Frankie Knuckles, Ashley Beedle, Sadar Bahar, DJ Spinna, DJ Rocca, Hector Romero or LTJ Xperience 

Through the creation of TSoNYC, Danilo hopes to bring various generations of music and people together and spread the discovery and rediscovery of quality sounds through events and podcasts.
