expand on that?Clintonics: I am usually typecasted into onegenre,
but off stage I play everything. Peoplehave come to know me as the
Drum & BassDJ. That is mostly my fault, but I dont mind.Most of

expand itsmusic scene?Clintonics: Morgantown can not expand
itsmusic scene. Scholastically and financially, astudent can not
afford to attend an eventevery night of the week and
purchasealcohol for his or her neck. Each venue isknown for a genre
or clique. There are toomany promoters and performers and notenough
collaboration. Rock kids dont go torap shows, metal and indie heads
hateboth, and none of these people listen toelectronic music.
