Our own DJ Scribe will be stepping in for an ill Cosmo Baker (feel better!) and throwing down two all-vinyl sets tonight at the monthly CHURCH party at Drom tonight with Mark de Clive-Lowe's all-star live band, feat. vocalist Nia Andrews, MC John Robinson, and special guest Miguel Atwood-Ferguson of Suite for Ma Dukes fame.
