DJ-U: Creating a Network of Non-Binary People of Color Piloted in 2016 at the queer underground space Madame of the Arts, and officially started in 2018, Rosa Garcia (DJ Madre Rosa) describes DJ-U as a “reparations program” created to “repair that bridge that somewhere had gotten broken.” DJ-U has been outlined as a “skill-sharing/support community for Black/Indigenous women, queer, femme, and non-binary people of color.” The program’s mission is “to create a network of aspiring and experienced self-identified femme, non-binary people of color that have a shared passion for music and community.” Through the program, artists are supported and empowered by mentors while being given access to DJ equipment, instructions, and connections to local venues and institutions “to ensure success and long term impact.” With grant funding, DJ-U has been offered as a free program. The money from the grants goes straight to the DJs who are paid for teaching classes. Garcia said she’s “trying to continue to keep the dollars flowing in our community. If I’m going to get a grant, I want to help us build money, shared power, community, space.” “We spread $100K pretty much during our ten years with this group of people,” said Garcia, “and it is meant to continue to generate in the DJ scene and rotate through this community.” She says that DJ-U has succeeded in changing the musical landscape of the Twin Cities with its DJ economy and promoting and connecting artists of color. In 2026, effectively their tenth year, DJ-U was impacted by the ICE's deadly Operation Metro Surge and has additionally lost its funding. However, Garcia said that “if folks would like to donate to the program, well maybe we could” have another year of programming. Donate at https://dj-u.xyz/donate/ On 36th and Lake in south Minneapolis, Garcia’s record store Wax World, was deeply impacted by the federal occupation. She was forced to close her store for three weeks. Despite facing the hardships, Garcia still holds Open Decks, allowing for DJs to come in and DJ at her store and she still lends out and gives away equipment.

. Ever wondered what the DJ scene *really* looks like behind the decks? Meet Rosa, aka DJ Madre: Minneapolis record shop owner, community builder, and lifelong vibe architect. Her story? It’s equal parts hustle, heart, and hard lessons. Saw Janet Jackson live at 4. Grew up with band practice in the basement and radio on repeat. Weathered everything from homelessness to the underground rave scene-now pays it forward by teaching the next wave of DJs. Spills the real talk on gatekeeping, accountability, and why *who* is behind the decks matters as much as the music. Shifts the focus: It’s not just about spinning tracks, but about building safe, joyful spaces where identity, passion, and community collide. This episode pulses with the true spirit of the Twin Cities DJ culture: gritty, creative, and fiercely inclusive. Whether you’re a vinyl head, digital diehard, or just love the energy of the dance floor, there’s something here for you. Part 1 The Conversation - Our interview with @waxworldmn Part 2 B2B DJ Set with @djharryduran You can find Behind the Decks MPLS on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube or your favorite podcast app. Links in BIO. #mplsdjs #housemusicculture #vinylcommunity #twincitiesmusic #undergroundscene Podcast Production by @IAMHarryDuran 🙏 Co.
