Center for Cassette Studies is a collective of two DJs, Karen and Jim, who started spinning together in 2016 at Freeform Portland community radio. Since then, the Center has aired live weekly at KFFP 98.3 FM and worldwide online. They specialize in intersections of sounds, things at once familiar and unknown: Asian Disco, Nigerian Boogie, Yugoslavian Postpunk, Indonesian Truck Stop. You can catch them regularly around Portland, spinning at Keys Lounge, Radio Room, Either/Or, and NW Marine Artworks “Open Studios” event.
