... yea did not write it down so trainspotters do your best.
I got a ping from DJ Slant the other day. Slant is a founding member of DC's 2Tuff Crew, a legendary crew of DJs that really pushed the Jungle / DnB scene here in the DC area.
The reason I was getting a message was that his basement had taken on water, which affected a chunk of his vinyl collection. Roughly 4 large crates of records from 1994-2001 era of Jungle/ Drum & Bass. He was going to chuck the full lot and wanted to know if I wanted to try and save them. I think my exact words were "I'm on my way... where do you live?"
Man, these records were in bad shape. I think they had been waterlogged for about a week before I got a call. So bloody hell they were gross, with mold and funk. This is going to have to be a full restoration project.
Some quick clarifications, "Restoration"... maybe not. It is more like preservation. Meaning I'm not going to source all the sleeves or print duplicate record labels. I could give a fig about the paper. All I care about is preserving the sound. As a junglist, I cut my teeth on white labels and I'm going to be making a boatload of them.
Oh my days, these babies have seen better days.
So how am I going to do all this? How do I do it in a way that is safe for the grooves and safe for me? I bring up my safety because it's a little unclear the ratio of rainwater to sewage. However, as someone who has had his basement flooded with sewage, it is not a light-hearted topic. That stuff is dangerous and you should treat it with respect. (breathing)
DJ Slant & The Librarian loading up the car.
Before I go any further, can I just take a moment on how stoked I am that DJ Slant thought to give me a shout to see if I could (or would want to) save these Golden Era records? Still trips me out a bit.
Alright after reaching out to some local record stores and a metric ton of internet research I think here is the plan for phase 1.
PHASE 1: CLEAN THAT !#%^ UP
1. SOAK
- Photo document the labels
- Water & Dawn solution
- Quick micro fiber wipe down
2. BLEACH BATH
- Water & Bleach solution
- soak / shock
3. PRESSURE WASHER
- Create a Framework to hold the records in a safe/controlled manner
- Clean with water
• Removing all the mold and labels
4. DRY
- Air Compressor
- Microfiber wipe down
5. STORE
- Plastic Sleeves
- Put an ID Tag on the sleeve so we can collect the photo data from step 1
Phase 2: CATALOG & CLEAN AGAIN
Because I'm unclear how good of a job this will actually do I'm assuming it will need a second round to make it playable. This step may be overkill but I want to make sure I'm crossing all the T's and dotting all the i's to save this Golden Era Sound.
Creating Labels and transferring that data to these labels.
2. VINYL VAC
As it sounds it's just a shop vac with an attachment... to you guessed it vacuum these tracks.
3. ULTRA SONIC
In recent years Ultra Sonic cleaners have become cheap enough that vinyl heads like me can afford to sonically blast their records. This currently is my last line of restoration, mainly because I don't own one yet. (I'm going to make a plug for support here in a bit. Foreshadowing ba ha)
After all that we will any love will have some clean & playable records to drop on this website and the Monday nights show.
If you think this project is awesome and want to support it. We have a variety of ways you can do that.

BC-9000 is a part of the next wave of DMV junglist that are hungry and ready for action. He will be rolling into the studio hauling some heavyweight crates of D&B vinyl. This man has taste for days with his selection that can be hard and fast or roller vocal classics that will have the heads singing along. He will have a little something for everyone in the stream.
Make sure not to miss this special event.
Now I might step in and tag with BC-9000 we will have to see. If he is rolling and on fire, I'm not one to step in and break the spell. So we will see.
Normally on a Monday night but sickness caused a delay.
However, it was recorded on a Tuesday.
Much love and respect to the Jungle / Drum & Bass community on Twitch. If you don't know about the DnB community on the Twitch platform check out the DnB Discord for a crash course.
Now for the big question should we bring a separate live show to YouTube? Let us know in the comments?

every once in a while a DJ or an old head puts up their collection. In this case its a hell of a collection for DNB fans.
From the Craigslist ad:
Over 200 LP/EP from 1997 to 2003, the bulk of which is most likely 1999-2001. Also have a crate of 100+ singles and promos and such from the same time-frame.
It's largely Drum n' Bass, but there is some old jungle, dub, and other randomness. Lots of Bad Company, Total Science, Dillinga and stuff from RAM, Renegade Hardware, Virus, etc. All played at least a few times, but all in very good shape. They've always been cared for and kept shelved/climate controlled when not on the decks. I'm selling the lot, not singles.
Asking price $1100
Which is to rich for my reserves at the moment (baby, live stream and a trip to Scotland in my future). However, lets break it down for a second, roughly that is the price of 100+ new records and your getting some ULTRA classics with no discogs hassle or shipping fees. If you have the funds DO IT ALREADY! Its killing me I get daily alerts from CL that their are Jungle/DnB records for sale in the DMV, stop my pain.
By now someone is asking where the link is. Here you go heads.
Normally we would be just easy listening to music tonight, but I’m in the mood to interact with my music tonight. Generally we are a Jungle / Drum & Bass stream but hey if I fine myself in a house / UK Garage mood I’m not going to not play it tonight.
So roll up the rug, but up the Hi Fi, and let do this! Tonight from 9pm-Midnight.
