Looking for a pirate radio experience sans Philip Seymour Hoffman’s pasty ass? Crank up Know Wave, a new subterranean radio station founded by Aaron Bondaroff, the downtown Cool Guy who’s so very cool that in the ’90s, he actually worked at both Supreme and its precursor (NYC’s now-defunct Union.)
Watch the video above to hear Aaron — whose now-much-longer resume includes founding aNYthing, co-founding OHWOW Gallery, and DJing stuff like Converse x Margiela’s NYFW release party — explain his inspiration, reveal his broadcasting location, and break down how something called Charles Mansion inspired him to create the station despite the Helter Skelter state of radio these days.
