Charlie Dark – Peace, Positivity & Blessings – Interview and Mixtape Preview

"What record made Charlie Dark want to become a professional DJ?
Which deep cosmic jazz-funk piece taught him how to be brave as a DJ?
Which album does he call “the record that saved my life”?
Which afrobeat classic is the record that saved his life and will make him run back into a burning house to rescue?
What secret weapon did he share with Mr. Scruff?
Which Benin afro-disco bomb always gets the “WTF?!” reaction?
What $1 boogie record does he swear every DJ should be able to rock?

Charlie Dark opens up the crates behind his Dust & Grooves Vol. 2 interview and walks us through the records that shaped him — the turning points, the surprises, the life-savers, and the heavy hitters that forged his identity as a selector, a cultural force, and a student of Black music.

In this video, it’s Charlie Dark in full flow — generous, funny, tuned-in, and deeply rooted in the culture that raised him. A storytelling session for every digger, DJ, and music lover who believes a collection is more than just vinyl — it’s a life lived through sound."

Why Cassette Tapes Are Coming Back

"Digging The Greats presents "Mixtape" a 4-Part Limited Series. Catch the premiere of Episode 1 on October 8th at 5pm PST streaming on YouTube."



"The cassette tape comeback made zero sense to me - until I started pulling the thread.

My journey took 3 paths: a month of listening exclusively to cassettes, diving into how they revolutionized the music industry, and collecting stories of how tapes changed the world. It turns out, this is more than just nostalgia.

Over the next 4 weeks I’ll show you how cassettes aren’t “making a comeback” - they’re the foundation for the modern world."
