While HIGH Fidelity does not fetishize playing with needles over any other ways of playing, our all-vinyl lineup points instead to the etymology of the term which means “keeping faith.”

In this sense, fidelity doesn’t mean exclusivity – sexual, technological or otherwise; it means a commitment to the terms that have been set in a relationship. Fidelity is about communicating, setting clear boundaries and guidelines, and ensuring that all parties involved are comfortable and aware of the arrangement. Fidelity is built on a foundation of trust, transparency, and mutual consent.

HIGH Fidelity is our ritual for this mutual commitment. It is about people who are interested and passionate about the same things coming together to create a unforgettable and joyous moment in time. It is a way of learning and exploring and opening up to each other to find out something new about ourselves. It is about awareness, harm reduction and creating a safer space.

Although this may lead to a form of ecstasy where the excess energy, love, laughter, despair and tears may be released and shared, HIGH Fidelity also means to support and call something forth, to engage with the dancing body in order to propel and support ideas and ideals with madness and enthusiasm.

HIGH Fidelity engages the dance floor as a site for rituals of passage, cleansing, confusion and transformation to be devised, offered and shared; upheld and supported by the stomps of feet dancing to dark techno beats.

You only have to be faithful to what you have chosen to believe in.

We are going to spread so much love.
HIGH Fidelity
