i made this compilation CD to give my junglist producer friends the satisfaction of participating in a physical release without the financial burden of assembling, marketing, and shipping CDs themselves; i trust that i have been able to introduce new audiences to my friends' work. 
i split the initial profits of this release with all of the artists involved (unless they declined payment o_O). the physical CDs have been sold out for quite some time, but you can check out on bandcamp and soundcloud.
i spent over 25 hours cutting paper in my living room for the full-color 16 page manuals in its original run before tee vera continuously mixed it and i switched to digipaks. the digipaks were made locally by the guy who used to do nirvana's cassettes back in the day.. how cool is that??
all of the plastic jewelcases were secondhand from eBay either as brand new deadstock, or from a service that salvages jewelcases from unsold thrift store CDs (so... some of the jewelcases were scratched and covered with stickers o_O i sold most of them in person because the cosmetic damage was unique for each case).
these CDs were also bundled with a limited edition hot like fiyah pink jungle network vol I zine, as well as a glow in the dark sticker and jungle network pin i had made locally. i was interviewed for the zine and i wanted to help spread the good word.
the green business card in the top row was for sending out digital download codes. it's a rip of an ad from muzik mag.
thank you to my mom for making me email producers to ask for permission to use their music on my windows movie maker projects when I was in middle school. thank you to the producers who responded. thank you to all the junglists before us for giving us unapologetic caribbean expression. thank you to astrea and sandy for your love and wisdom and your good taste. thank you matt (i ♥ you) and the mateo family for literally everything else.
thank you dazegxd for trusting me to help find new expressions of dazegirl and for waking up a sonic landscape that I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to contribute to. thank you to everyone who has danced with me in dark rooms and rooftops and who laughed with me and fed my spirit with humor (juno, tee, izzy and so many others).
thank you to all my cousins of various diaspora who are contending with multiplicities and forging new possibilities everyday by breaking generational curses. thank you girls, gamers, gender non-comformists, queer folk, and my fellow nerdy caribbean-americans. thank you to everyone who has had to raise themselves and those who have had to start over and figure things out.
thank you to everyone who bought a CD. thank you to obi ron and marie for your kindness + support and for giving me the confidence to push myself to achieve more. thank you to everyone who has ever said my name out loud in a room. thank you to my many patrons who havesupported my art and my online shop. thank you to anne's heroes who are helping to pioneer a positive community for geeks with niche interests. thank you anne hero world.
thank you aeon, bench, datathief, lola, lomaji, nyles, and tee. thank you geom for helping with the track order. thank you juno (again) for help with the cover.
