From 10 p.m. Attention: Rosenbowle bar service. If you bring records and play, you don't have to pay entry! Red Salon/Volksbuhne at Rosa Luxemburg Place. Sponsored by MOBILE METALLICO". DJ Everybody is advertised as being a participatory DJ performance, and is described by Betty Sturmer's website as follows: "DJ Everybody is a hybrid between music and art and gives everybody the opportunity to play her or his set; a kaleidoscope of music, styles and statements on the mike. The border between audience and performer is broken down. DJ Everybody is an interactive happening, a dialogical network, that turns every receiver into a sender and vice versa."
