For episode 75 I had to bring in a very special guest - my close friend, the incredible vinyl selector DJ Center. Don't ever miss a chance to witness Center spin a gig - whether at the club, the lounge, the charity event, or anywhere else - and don't sleep on his production or mixes either. Center and I share a deep love of jazz music and so I thought it would be dope to have him bring some of his favorites over for the podcast. Of course he showed up with more records than we had time to play, but he focused in and delivered some really high quality flavors that are perfect for this episode. I also got a short interview in with him afterword. Don't sleep! You can check him on IG, FB and everywhere else as well as his website, http://pushthefader.com

Tracklist: 

DJ Center: John Coltrane, Samba Lanca Trio, Ahmad Jamal, Vladimir, Mike Longo, Robert Watson, Lester Sterling, Soul Jazz Orchestra, [Redacted], Anthony Williams 

DJ Ian Head: Cedar Walton, McCoy Tyner, Ill Considered

Pullin from the Stacks Podcast - Episode 75 featuring DJ Center

A global Coffee House community based in Hollygrove, New Orleans. I provide the music and you brew the coffee ;) ✨✨🌚❤️🔥☕️✨✨ This coffee house is always open for business. Dear international friends, I welcome you, peace and love to you all! ✨✨❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤❣️💞💓💗💖💝🥰🤗✨✨ 

I purchased fixer upper store front/two story building in the magical neighborhood of Hollygrove in New Orleans, Louisiana. The idea is to convert the bottom flat into a minority woman owned high end concept coffee house that welcomes everyone but please, come with a young heart and an opened mind ;D Here you will be exposed to coffees from around the world, exotic coffees and healthy concoctions to hydrate and nourish your bodies, and original coffee recipes like my Frothy Vegan Coconut Iced Coffee. You will also find a plain old cup of delicious java. My coffee house will also be dedicated to promoting local artist and the space will also be donate for non-profit events that are focused on social justice and the advancement of literacy. And yes, there will always be lots of great music playing -- sometimes even live acoustic music. 

I am a Nichiren Buddhist and I trust that the universe will provide what I need at the right time. Right now I don't have $50K to renovate the downstairs but because I am a Bodhisattva of the earth, I am opening this Global Coffee House to reach the coffee/music lovers all around the universe. You see, BOOM! Hahahahahahah!!! The Hollygrove Cafe is now open for business 24/7!! :D One day I will open the physical Hollygrove Cafe, and I hope that you will come hang out with my friends, my dog and I but as of now, the The Global Hollygrove Cafe is OPEN for business right here on the world wide web!! <3
