Community Library DeeJays Are Back with Themed Sets and More...
djbrokenwindow
We have been taking a hiatus from our practice of making themed DJ sets. In fact, we've largely been taking a break from DJ sets and live shows altogether. However! This Thursday April 8th you can catch our own Label Prez DJ Brokenwindow doing a food-themed DJ set at Holocene for "Eat Your Heart Out," a culinary themed music mini-festival. The same night head out late night down the street from Holocene to catch ComLib "vice prez" DJ Strategy guest mixing dance music at the East End.

We will begin making new themed DJ sets (and hopefully, our archived sets) available from this website for your dowloading enjoyment. We will also give some history about the Community Library club night from whence we came, and the guidelines of themed DJing.

Black Vinyl Units LPs are BACK, Monday April 12!
We have repressed the record. The Paypal button option for this version will return this coming Monday April 12th. AND, white vinyl copies are still available- exclusively through this website! You can also check with one of our many distributors who carry our stuff. We intend to keep this in print; we acknowledge that while some releases merit small pressings, it is silly for labels to underpress things, inflating the price of product in e*bay bidding wars among elite record collectors. We intend to keep this in print at a price you can afford until everyone who wants one has got one, and then we'll hopefully still have some around for late comers!

It's here!!!
