Although State College is a town with unlimited musical potential, some people feel as though lately they've just been hearing more of the same.

With "Release," a show held from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesdays at Bar Bleu, 144 S. Garner St., a group of local disc jockeys are trying to get people drawn into a fledgling musical scene.

DJ Last (Kevin Slifer), DJ Transient (Perry Stoltzfus) and DJ Breaker (Joe Seifert) are delivering "Release" to the public through their company, Central Grooves.

They want to let people know there is nothing to be afraid of when it comes to their all-fun-all-the-time dance parties.

And don't mention the word "rave" around them either.

"For the past year, 'Release' was under different management and we're basically building off that old management now," Slifer said. "We're very confident about where we're going because the old focus was on the rave aspect of parties and we're pulling away from that. We're making dance music but not the scary kind."

Stoltzfus said many people lump his favorite kind of music into a single grouping, and that is the wrong thing to do.

"Everybody thinks of techno, which it's actually not. That's just one of many categories in the genre," Stoltzfus said. "So we're just trying to broaden everybody's horizons and even though some people might not like that one kind, there's many different kinds out there."

Seifert said in order for people to really discover the art that goes into spinning records, it has to be shown to them.

"I've always been into this type of music for years and years and my goal is to expose people to this type of music from a different perspective," Seifert said. "You can always listen [to this music] in your cars but if you go out and hear the DJs you can realize that they can actually be musicians."

What these artists really want to stress about their show is that no one should be at odds when they come to these parties.

"I would love to get this town to the point where they understand the DJ scene by easing people into this new world without alienation," Seifert said.

"It was like that in the past, and possibly still is in big cities, but we want to create something new that's up to the people to make it what it is."

Stoltzfus said that there is no hint of discontent among the normal partygoers.

"As opposed to other bars, we're trying to set a different level for night life in State College," Stoltzfus said. "There's a really relaxed atmosphere at Bar Bleu and people who come are really friendly and everybody seems to get along and have a good time."

It is because of this relaxed atmosphere presented at Bar Bleu that "Release" has achieved so much success lately, according to Slifer.

"We've seen great increases in our attendance lately and that's what we thrive on," Slifer said.

"We haven't really seen anyone unhappy and we always run around talking making sure people are having fun during and after the shows," he added.

Seifert said that he has his own idea of what makes the show so fun and enjoyable for the people in the audience or at the bar: the thought of getting out of the ordinary.

"[Bar Bleu] is an underground club and it has that same kind of feel," Seifert said.

"It lets you sort of disappear for awhile and it takes you away from the regular happenings in State College," he said.
