The public access radio station, KVMR 89.5 FM, has been a mainstay in Nevada County for over 45 years, but the lesser-known KVMRx at 105.7 FM is looking to make a mark in the world of broadcasting and is working to bring attention as an alternative to lovers of their parent public broadcasting station. Broadcasters of KMVRx are working to reach listeners, by breaking out of the studio and onto the dance floor. To that end, KVMRx A’GoGo — A DJ Dance Night takes place Friday, August 16 from 8:00 p.m. to midnight at Miners Foundry. It’s a not to be missed opportunity to meet the people behind the turntables while dancing the night away.

Spearheaded by DJ Amelia Arellanes with support from Program Director Jai Hanes, the dance party was a hit among listeners and other community members. DJ Arellenes said they have been holding the dance parties all summer long and it is open to all, “It’s all ages so we really welcome young people as well, but it’s music for everyone.”
