We are Jim and Karen. Karen is from Adelaide, Australia and lived in Chicago for many years, working at Facets Video, Tower Records, and The Brown Elephant. Jim is from Alabama and has DJed on and off since 1989, starting with a postpunk and disco show on WVUA. He started Center for Cassette Studies in 2014, as a monthly at The Tannery, spinning 60s-70s international women singers and soul 45s. Karen joined in 2016, bringing her expertise in African music, free jazz, and krautrock. We share a mutual passion for weird synth records and cover songs in other languages. The radio show went live during Freeform Portland’s first show cycle, in Spring 2016.
