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

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

Pullin from the Stacks Podcast - Episode 75 featuring DJ Center

"I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my audience. It sounds strange because it is, and it is, because I am strange."

When I'm not at the dayjob, I'm probably at a record store. Pullin from the Stacks podcast most Wednesdays, available here, Apple Pods (please subscribe!) and elsewhere.

Ongoing all-vinyl podcast of selected flavors from DJ Ian Head's crates with occasional guests. OkayPlayer says: "For all the diggers, fusionist, jazz cats and audiophiles this one is for you...This isn’t your typical Starbucks, caramel Frappuccino w/ a sprinkle of cinnamon mixtape. Get your neck ready, you’re about to be taken on a journey through some intricate head-nodding rhythms, neck brace not included."

Purveyor of Fine Music

Whether at the turntables, or in studio behind the boards, DJ Center soul-travels, navigating audiences with a crate of musical goods from around the globe, while echoing a New York state of mind. 

DJ Center debuted as a producer with the critically acclaimed album, Everything in Time – a ride across multiple genres, woven by lush piano chords, warm bass lines, flying tambourines and soaring horns. His productions have been featured on NBC, VH1, Starz and Showtime, while being championed on radio and in clubs by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Bobbito Garcia and Nightmares on Wax, amongst others.
