On a recent Friday night in November, a deejay who goes by the name Charles Ben Wa experiments with a variety of styles. An informal poll of people listening to the music reveals the elusive nature of the sound and shows the difficulty in trying to classify it. They do it for free, mainly to expose people to this kind of music. People think electronic music is all about dance, but this is different. It may have a beat, but it's really enjoyable to hear.
People can hear new music here instead of cover bands.
The idea grew out of Vincent's own passion for the music. She's learning to deejay herself and brings her own equipment to the shop for the guest deejays to use. But since she plans on graduating from the U of M in May, she has been too busy to spend as much time as she would like learning the art of spinning records. We're obsessed with it and want to turn everyone on to it. Even a lot of people of an older age group come in and have a really good time.
