Get to Know WPRB's DJs: DJ Reed

DJ Name: Reed

Show: Thursdays 3-5 pm

Type of Music Played: Indie rock, House, Dubstep, Electronic

Accounting for Taste: I only learned about the American music scene from overseas through Pitchfork and other sites, and since they mainly focus on Indie music I started out listening to that. By and by, I developed a taste for electronic music. I think it’s the freshest type of music out there these days, and it can go in so many directions. There’s just so much unexplored terrain.

Reasons for being a DJ: When I came to Princeton, I immediately tried to join as many clubs as I could because I was afraid of not being able to compare to the other Princeton kids. I saw WPRB’s presentation in the music building during frosh week, and I figured since I liked music so much I might as well try it out, and I’m glad I did.
