She was hypnotized by the revolving turntable and would often place her lithe fingertips on the metal circles while the platter would spin always wondering how it functioned. The big thumps of the bass jumping through the old school Cerwin-Vega speakers always amped her up in the morning. Throughout her childhood, her father introduced her ears to a wide spectrum of music genres while he practiced DJing for a specific wedding, cotillion, business event, etc. Little did she know that the repetitiveness and variety of songs would be glued to her memory. The more types of music she heard, the more aware she was of what good music consisted of. Her favorite genres growing up ranged anywhere from funk to euro to hip hop which she enjoys reuniting in her current mixes. DJ Raboo has been DJing and researching music since her junior high years. Some DJs that inspired her growing up in her Filipino community were DJ Speed, Mista Bimsta, DJ Boy Wonder and DJ Zero just to name a few. and our resident DJ RHATED R (CHI) Rhated R tried rapping and after realizing there was a lot more to rapping than met the eye, she gave up all hope at becoming a rapper. She later co-hosted a college radio show for a short period of time. While attending college, Rhated R interned for several major record labels. She eventually landed at THE pioneering hip-hop label. At the time, the music industry wasn’t ready for the music download craze. Unfortunately, it cost a lot of people their jobs and Rhated R was a casualty to a series of layoffs. Still having feelings for her first love, she took a chance on love again and rekindled the love affair…this time from the DJ booth! Art showcased this month by SHAN, BEL2, and NANA! B-GIRLS! We will also have open dance floor for all the B-girls & B-boys the building! **$5 drink specials and also new food menu available** I STILL LOVE H.E.R. vol.
