They Hate Change - André & Vonne

For anyone wondering what we’ve been up to all this time—We started a radio station in the Gulf Coast. ✨ What started pre-pandemic as a quick thought about having a residency on our favorite station turned into guest spots during the lockdown, and intense study on the logistics of running a station once we started touring in ‘22. We got to see some lovely communities around the globe that sprung up around these independent stations, all while the scene back home was in limbo—dead venues, retired bands and DJs, everybody moving to Philly, etc…We knew the Gulf Coast needed this energy. Our small crew of friends and acquaintances trusted our lil hare-brained scheme and came together to form the Sector family, which is growing every week. New DJs, new parties, new crews and new ways of thinking are all springing out of thin air in the Gulf Coast right now because all of us decided to say “fuck it, we can do it too”. The god @michaelryanbrennan created our logo, because who else? Sector resident @okay.benny did the website, and all ~30+ of us (not all pictured but all important as hell) are on the backend and in-studio keeping the ship running every week. The name has many origins, but if you know us you know it’s always at least a little UK influence in the mix (ha ha). Much Love to Tehmeena & Rose, Frankie & Knox, and Sigourney & Giulia for answering all our annoying questions about how their stations run—yall might not even remember haha, but we will forever. It’s been softly running weekly for the last 6 months and is very much still the early stages, still evolving and getting better all the time, strictly for the benefit of the Gulf Coast scene. Story is out now via @cltampabay —Consider this the full official launch of @sector.fm ⚪️⚫️

Thank you for reaching out— “Wish You Were Here…” Film and EP out now, available on cassette and streaming. ✨☎️ Featuring collaborations with our pals @vritra322 , @wulumusic , @charliebandd , @hailcherele , @djorangejuliusofficial , @96_back ✨🤞🏾 Shout to everyone who called, texted, and emailed. No hard feelings, right? 😘✨

Appreciate all the love flowing for the new EP!! A lot of things we’ve always wanted keep coming our way since the drop, so we couldn’t be more grateful. Florida Tour with @wednesday_gurl & @hotlinetnt starting this week!! We bout to have em jooking and eating Salem’s by the time they leave, pop out if we’re in your city!! Big up the Central Ave Ravers and the Fitted Trucker Lawn Bowling Club, y’all been knew what it was, we make things for US but we put them out for Y’ALL. Let’s keep going up!! ✨🤞🏾

#1 Stunna — Fill94 b/w It’s a Demo (Freddy Payne) out now on theyhatechange.com More demos smacking across your headback. And no, (unfortunately) this ain’t a rollout. This is boredom. Do Not Chain Bicycle To Railing—It Will Be Removed. ✨🚲

Today marks 4 Years of “Finally, New”. Still Never Went Viral. Read the full post and hear the full track on theyhatechange.com As we step forward we felt it’d be wrong to leave all the demos and ideas from the last era behind, wasting away on hard drives, never to be heard again. We plan to continue being as quiet as possible on here, but we’re talking a lot on our own site, making sure the story is told properly this time around✨🤞🏽 Don’t worry y’all, Change is coming, once again 😘✨ Let No Man Put Asunder…

Last year at @bigcaaf we had the pleasure of linking back up with Tampa duo @theyhatechange , three years after we first interviewed them at SXSW 2022. After visiting with radio stations while touring across the globe in 2022, the duo realized they wanted to replicate this in their hometown… and then came @sector.fm - which broadcasts every Wednesday and Sunday from 9AM-9PM ET and boasts dozens of resident DJs. This year at BIG Fest, the experience returns, with Sector FM residents taking over the Loft from 6-9:30 PM and They Hate Change performing inside How Bazar at 10:40. For festivalgoers looking to experience the sounds of Tampa Bay jook and more, keep an eye out!! 🎤 @ben.m 🎥 @heavybutlite ✂️ @thereshomebase

ChangeSet in full effect, ‘26 til Infinity— Returning to the best festival on earth @bigcaaf this Friday!! All new jams because yall deserve everything—yall ain’t think we was just chilling down here right?? The Gulf Coast Takeover continues as we bring the homie @cleoforshort through to shut down @oscuralive , alongside the future of the Gulf Coast Sound @pilotjonezz @fesssi.k & @cigarcityrecords ✨🤞🏽 Raising the bar for these niggas once again, it’s Florida over Everybody 😘🖕🏽

@delilahholliday took us to our first Soul Dance, at @ridleyroadmb in 2023. The following Valentine’s Day, we partnered up with @weresweetgirls to bring the spirit back to the Gulf Coast, and y'all went crazy! This will be our 3rd year spinning all night for you, and somehow we still haven’t reached the bottom of the crate (and never will!) Hosted by our gracious partners @banditstpete , Sweethearts is for all the lovers, all the heads, and all the OGs that remember Sugar Bear soul dances on Central Ave—WSG (as always) is holding it down on setting the mood and creating the perfect zone for your slow dance, while we thumb through the wax to keep your feet moving. Peace to @taina.enserio joining us on the decks (picking up where our family @americansquirm left off), and @sapphicsunfl is serving printed gems all night, strictly for the lovers. As usual, broadcasting live on @sector.fm for everybody outside the Gulf—For all the hometowners, put on your best and come get live! 💜✨ February 14th!!
