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.

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.
Welcome to the launch of the Mothership Dread. Now, where is the manual to this beast?
Big Ups to Twitch DnB Team and everyone here on youTube worldwide spreading the junglist vibe. I hope this transmission finds you well.
Big news on the horizon we will see what comes of it all.

Presented by True Deep Movement (TDM Collective). Zeme Fest is an annual charity stream for the WWF. I am proud to have been a part of it for the last 3 years. DJing and saving the planet are not often bedfellows but I enjoy being able to help do my part with my art. As the opener this year I was stoked to kick things off with a bang.

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.

Tunage Presents: The Librarian (USA) Takeover (Mix A)
The Librarian [DC, USA]
Founder of From the Annex, a DC DnB focused blog (www.fromtheannex.com) and weekly live stream (www.twitch.tv.fromtheannex).
The Librarian's journey started in the American midwest but it was on a yearly trip to Edinburgh Scotland in the summer of 97 when was exposed to Jungle music. That tape just laid the foundation on what would be a 24-year love affair with the sound. From designing label graphics to hauling speakers, Djing, and dabbling in production The Librarian has worn many hats in the scene. Where the future will take him who knows that's half the fun of life.
Shouts out to Underground Solu'shn and Europa Music for helping me to find my sound and the hours of digging. Big Ups to the Tunage family next time I make it over the pond, I can't wait to throw down on the dance floor with all of you.
Much respect.

PLAYLIST:
I will be train spotting my own video here and seeing if I can cobble the playlist together. ha
Over the past months, I’ve commiserated with people who share the sentiment that it feels like we are stuck in the endless 2020 version of the Groundhog Day loop; ala Bill Murray? The chats start with ‘how are you’ but then careen down the path of bonding through survivorship. Months ago, we were in that first phase, where we were all asking ourselves ‘what’s going on’ and ‘how long can this last?’ After the novelty wore off, fatigue and frustration started to set in. We all coped in our own way; my coping mechanism was/is binge-watching and passive-aggressively keeping up with friends via social media. You can only scroll so long before you see those dreaded words, “You’re all caught up!” And then after a while, that final phase, acceptance, and normalization sets in. And in this phase is where I suspect the good things are and will continue to happen.
One part of my journey towards acceptance has been for me to start expanding musically. I have been enjoying my rut of musical old reliables; the stuff you know will take you to that familiar place. There’s nothing wrong with the old stuff, I stand behind “they don’t make’em like they used to.” But I also know that there is great enjoyment in the discovery of that new good stuff.
I’m seeing and finding more playlists, and tuning into the live broadcasts of shows and DJ sets, and using the music services to follow the rabbit hole towards discovering stuff I wouldn’t regularly have noticed; mostly because it could be a while before I am able to get to record stores and live shows again.
Clearly, it’s working as this first playlist is the result of the expansion. Apparently, during the last month or two, California-based Moonchild caught my ear. I think I stumbled upon them from their older live sets for NPR and then the Brownswood Basement. Apparently, those sets struck me more than I realized as Moonchild’s Little Ghost album has been on regular rotation over the past months.
So starting with that track and just following the rabbit hole, here’s a playlist of UK and US Jazz and Soul. I particularly enjoy hearing how much this music has been influence by hip-hop, house, and drum and bass.
Enjoy!
This month’s playlist is below and if you are on Spotify, here’s the link.
