Poetic Note, known for her emotionally charged, unfiltered sound. A staple in the southern underground, her music selection is shaped by the raw energy of DIY punk &  ’90s grunge... The result: heavy basslines, distorted textures, and ambient noise in cathartic rhythm.

With a deep commitment to community and the transformative power of sound, she creates dancefloors that are both intentional and unpredictable spaces. Whether playing warehouse sets or intimate club rooms, her selections are for those who’ve lived in the static, for those still searching for answers: Poetic Note is a mirror, A reminder: you’re not alone...

If her sound had a taste, it’d be amaretto; 
sweet, bitter, and laced with the wild pull of nature. 

Every set is a visceral trip to some dormant element beneath the chaos of the human experience.

It was 1993. You were there. sweating in a mid-atlantic warehouse, it was dark, crowded, throbbing, and new. The internet was just starting up. DJs were mysterious; the tracks they played invoked euphoria. You danced near the subs so you could embody every bass hit.

It is 2024. You are here. Whether you were there or not for the decades before, rave transcends, evolves, thrives. 

Our prompt for this mix series is simple: we ask DJs for their unique interpretation of early rave based on memory or fantasy.
