Listening Room: Music for Slowing Down — Ambient, Downtempo & Minimal Electronica from the ’90s and beyond by PFR Records
This edition of Listening Room is presented by PFR Records.
PFR Records is an artist-run label based in Brooklyn and San Francisco. The label’s releases span from minimal house and techno to psychedelic, shoegaze, and ambient.
For this listening session, they’ll be bringing an all-vinyl selection of downtempo, ambient, and minimal electronica from the ’90s and beyond. Expect slow-building frequencies, dubbed-out rhythms, and expansive, synth-driven atmospheres for close listening.
PFR champions underground and emerging artists across the US, Europe, and Asia, focusing on limited vinyl, experimental projects, and left-field music. Recent collaborations include work with artists in Tokyo, Brooklyn, Paris, and Taipei. Coming next year are new projects from Kyoto, NYC, LA, SD, SF, Berlin, and Delhi, expanding the label’s focus on global psychedelic and electronic sounds.
They also host a new residency at HydeFM in the Mission, highlighting exploratory mixes from across the label’s orbit.
The space will be open 3pm onwards with non-alcoholic cocktails and tea for sale. Listening room starts at 7:30pm. Please respect your fellow listeners by keeping noise to a minimum once show has started. Records will be available for sale.
