...DJs/producers/rupture and esp are not new to Harvard. Jace Clayton (/rupture) and Mike Esposito (esp) started the Toneburst Collective while they were undergraduates here. The loose-knit collective spans multiple genres and media, uniting jungle, ambient and hiphop DJs and producers like DJ Flack, Embryo and Electro Organic Sound System with video-and installation-artists like Synergy Promixions. They organize numerous events in the New England area which are more like carnivals than raves or concerts, combining abstract beats, video experimentation and performance art in unorthodox spaces.

Lasovage still has NKOTB posters in her bedroom and-says Jon(ny) Whalberg was definitely her favorite "kid." But she also loves Hanson, despite all their bad press and girly looks. "I'm on the field hockey team," she says. "I wanted to put 'MMM-Bop' on our psyche-up tape, but that didn't go over too well...
...That's pretty strong stuff from a former flack, who now seems to be spinning hard for himself. There are, after all, still some asterisks next to his own performance.
