Karl Benacci, Features Editor Wednesday night maybe by Brooke Nix staff writer In August of 2(X)2, a fairly unknown bedroom DJ named Jon Carpenter found a way to mal& himself known. This opportunity came from the advent of Internet radio. By pure coincidence. Carpenter met his partner, DJ trip also known as Chad Bozzarelli, when chatting on the Internet. He invited Bozzarelli to play records one night over their newfound Internet radio station, DanceßßSradio.com. trip & Carpenter enjoyed the time they were broadcasting, hyping up their shows with jokes and shout-outs to their listeners. They impressed the owner of the site, Max Shouden, and were offered a set show time on Wednesday nights, each week. This was where the two coined the name of their show, Wednesday Night Mayhem. Each week trip & Carpenter come together to play two hours of their individual styles of electronic dance music. trip normally kicks off the night at 8 p.m. for an hour of his signature progressive trance tunes, often featuring the best of his collection of rare records. Carpenter from State College, follows up from 9-10 p.m. with his Chicago-style funky house. Sometimes the duo splits up the show to share the slot with a regionally known guest 1)J. "It's crazy how fast we made progress with this show," said 2rip. " When we first started the show, we maxed out each night at about seven listeners. Not to mention our limited budget for promoting the show. But now, five months into it, we're coaxing out servers because so many people are tuned in. That sort of thing makes me smile, though." said 2rip. gives you an incentive to work even harder to see this thing grow." Current statistics for the show indicate listeners tune in from all over the globe, including the United States, Germany, Britain, and Australia. Many listeners sign onto AOL Instant Messenger to talk to 2rip & Carpenter during the show to request different tracks, ask for a "shout-out," or just talk to the two about other subjects. "I think it's cool having a show that plays over the Internet because most of our listeners are just sitting there on their computers anyway with nothing to listen to, as they surf the Web or do work," says Carpenter.
