Founded in 2024, Cue the Record is a NYc-based organization rooted in the belief that music is living history. We dig into the stories, artists, and eras behind the records — then bring those worlds to life through immersive high-fidelity listening sessions, experiences, and carefully curated sounds. Our mission is to nurture space for people to gather, listen deeply, and connect through the power of analog sound.

A community for analog lovers & music enthusiasts

Cue the Record exists because music is the most reliable archive humans have ever made. Every record is a document — of a moment, a movement, a feeling that refused to disappear. It's how we say things words can't hold, and how we pass them forward.

Our programming brings people together around carefully chosen records: classic albums that shaped generations, deep cuts that deserve wider audiences, genres and scenes that carry the story of who we've been and who we're becoming. Through vinyl listening sessions, educational programs, and artist-led conversations, guest selectors, hosts, and cultural voices help us dig into how music moves through communities, preserves histories, and builds identity across time.

Some gatherings are contemplative — collective listening where we create space for music to work on us without distraction. Others spark conversation, debate, and discovery across generations, backgrounds, and neighborhoods. And some are simply an invitation to move your body, dance, and sing. All of them are grounded in the belief that when communities engage with their own cultural history together, something deeper happens.

Music has always been how we recognize each other across time. This is where we practice that recognition together.
