For our second episode, we have invited a DC local selector Peter Kaufmann for a delightful trip into his record collection.  Expect plenty of airy downtempo, jazzy deep house and snazzy feel-good house to beat those winter blues.

Jandro is a DC-based Dj; Born in Miami and raised in the Dominican Republic, Jandro was soaking up rhythm long before he fell in love with funk, new wave, and house. He plunged in the world of DJing in 2002 and has been crafting his sound of unique grooves and meticulous mixing on dance floors ever since. 

He regularly plays events as part of local collective, Blueprint, at Jimmy Valentine’s (ranked a top late night dive bar in the U.S. by Playboy magazine) and top shelf clubs such as Flash and U Street Music Hall (both lauded widely as top clubs in the U.S.). Promoters have found his sound well matched for opening slots with leading DJ/producers Paco Osuna, Gui Burrato, Timo Maas, John Digweed, Steve Bug amongst others.

Underground dance music record shop ran by Sherman C who has been involved with dance music since 1992 and an avid cassette and record collector since the mid 80's.
