Overview

Hi-Fi Horizons is the definitive visual tour of the fast-growing listening-bar movement. Spaces that trade thumping dance floors for velvet seats, sculpted speakers and reverent communal listening. From Tokyo's historic jazz kissa to Dante's Hi-Fi in Miami, Zurich's Kasheme, Honeycomb Hi-Fi, Barcelona's Curtis and Mexico City's Café de Nadie, it gathers photographs of glowing turntables and rapt audiences. Curated and narrated by London DJ and tastemaker Killian “Don Grizz” Radtke, it traces vinyl-focused sessions and intimate rooms that fuse design, cocktails and hospitality, giving people a reason to leave the house. Perfect for readers of Dust & Grooves, Hi-Fi Horizons lifts the curtain on the curators, DJs and designers redefining nightlife. No longer the preserve of “audiophiles,” these Hi-Fi havens lure diners, crate-diggers and night-owls alike, delivering club-quality sound without the crush. Featuring 200 colour images, venue spotlights and insider commentary, it invites readers to slow down and rediscover music at its best.
