"Hey, isn't that the one song that the Victoria's Secret commercial plays?" asked Darcy Minette, 21, senior.
That 'one song' is "Disco Science" by Mirwais, who left people in a trance with his electrifying keyboards and bass guitar as they walked out from classes Wednesday.
Mirwais and other styles of music � from the Chemical Brothers to Freddy Fresh � were played by radio station 88.1FM KVSC. The student run radio station went live on the Atwood Mall from 11a.m.-1p.m. as one of their first live broadcasts of the summer.
The purpose of the broadcast was to expose KVSC to the students of SCSU.
Tons of prizes were also given away, such as gift certificates to restaurants like Godfather's Pizza, Waldo's Pizza and Grizzly's. A wide variety of CD's and KVSC merchandise were also given away, including bumper stickers, buttons and key chains.
"Most students don't know who we (KVSC) are because we are in the basement of Stewart (Hall)," said Tom Haugen, assistant program director.
"Bringing diverse music to SCSU will make people aware of the station. It's a good way to approach the students and get their attention and help them know where KVSC is on the dial."
When asked about the demographic, Jo McMullen, station manager, said that they are "all over the board."
"It's usually 18-25 and sometimes parents depending on what program they listen to," McMullen said. "Listening to KVSC is like watching TV, you have to know when your shows are on."
People enjoy working at KVSC as much as listeners enjoy the music.
"I like working at KVSC because of the diverse music that we present to people and the educational programming that cannot be heard anywhere else," said Barry Braun, program director.
Why work at KVSC?
"Because we are non-discriminatory," said Xakk Gilder, training director. "We are open to the community and not just a student-based program."
Catch KVSC doing more live broadcasts throughout the summer on July 17 and 31 from 11a.m.-1p.m. KVSC will also be at the Benton County Fair live Aug. 7-11 with prizes and live updates such as the blue-ribbon prize winners and performers
