The Librarian's set from the international DJ competition called Cheap Vinyl Challenge.
In the spirit of Top Gear, we were tasked with creating a set of 15 records for under $40.90 / £30.
Thus I set out to create the very cheapest Jazzy Jungle vibes, all vinyl from the annex archive.
... did I win? No, but a very nice set was created. 2nd place ain't bad.
Big ups to Catch 22 for bringing home the gold.
Also a huge shout out to all the other players. DJ B-Sides, BeersAndBeatsPDX, Ghaleon everyone brought their A-game to the party.
Of course, I would be doing their whole event a disservice by not toasting the host Man Like Deeps. Respect
Big ups to the chatroom massive, mad love to the DC DnB community, and Respect to Junglist World Wide.

I can not tell you how stoked I am. Yola / Jason Berto of the Grand Ancestor Sound System. Here is just a visual taste of what we will be chatting about. Boh Boh Boh!
Do you all even know what you are looking at here? It's a quadfecta of tools that makes me want to scream in a bag. HA!
Below is version 1.0. Above is the 2.0 update... boss level.
Kick back and enjoy the tunes and conversation.
If you want to know more about YOLO and Grand Ancestor:
When you get knocked down by the world it's great to know that friends are there to pick you up, dust you off and help carry the load. Long story short I had a family emergency that caused me to be absent. Guddah knowing the back story stepped into takeover the show for the night. Total boss, what made it legendary was he is located over in the UK! It's like 2am when he kicked off my show pulling an all-nighter then rolling to work. Mind Blown.
Here in DC in the 2000s, there was a good chance if you went to a DnB show you would see Ransom on the bill. The man seemed to be everywhere. We caught up with him and had a bit of a chat about this time in DC. Enjoy
Rolling the clock back. Man look at the mixer!
Just in case you all forgot about the DC DnB message board. Proper time traveling business.
If you would like to find our man Harry Ransom nowadays:
I would like to apologize, eagle eye followers will notice that this interview happened in APRIL! Yes, I've been sitting on this one without even realizing it as it was a draft that just never got published. For that I'm sorry. Oh well life happens

There is family through blood but then there is family through sound. Family Tree Collective is the latter. They invited me up and welcoming me into their Tree House studio in an undisclosed location in Baltimore Maryland.
It was the first time since COVID hit that I've played in person. Man did it feel nice. Thank you to the whole Family Tree Collective. Your vibes, energy, and excitement for the music was a much-needed shot in the arm.
After which I was asked if I wanted to be affiliated with the Collective, to which I said it would be my pleasure. I can't say I will be making that run to B-More all the time but I do look forward to more sessions in the future. Mad love

If you want to support From The Annex there are 3 ways:
I'm taking the night off (first time in two years). However, in my place, Greilark has stepped up to takeover FromTheAnnex for the night! Boh Boh Boh! Total champion.
Give my West Coast brother and his Co-Pilot Callie (the cat) a warm welcome. Where I have "all the gear" Greilark is a master of doing everything with "nothing".
Buckle up and get ready, cause this man will take you on a journey that I can't wait to watch when I get back. Also, be sure to check out his own stream "Spoon Drift" on www.twitch.tv/greilark
I will see you on the 5th of April where we will be having another interview session with HARRY RANSOM along with a bit of a mini-mix session with myself.
Till next time, Keep Smiling!
