| Description: | Women On Wax has been a yearly event that the Vitus Crew holds dear to its heart. Embracing the DJ culture and celebrating female artistry are just a couple of the driving forces behind this event. We started off this voyage in the Summer of 2002 at a club on Long Island. At that party, new friends were made and a vision was spawn. The party was small and quaint, but it had a family vibe that we all enjoyed in. It was at that point that the founding DJs, Jen Mas and Heddabombz, decided that they wanted to do this on a yearly basis and take the opportunity to bond with other deejanes and supply a good time for all to share in at little or no cost to the fans. Hence, the next two WOW installments were held at Cedar Creek Park, and we all enjoyed a day in the sun with free treats and fine beats from a vast array of talented ladies. Last year we took a hiatus, as Heddabombz is currently a graduate student and Jen has been busy with her travels. But Jen was not going to let the party fade. She set out to make it happen once again and this year she's teamed up with Nicole of Tiny Recordings to do just that. Nicole is a veteran promoter from the early Storm Rave days and handles an impressive roster of international DJs. She also has a soft spot for lady DJs and was enthralled to help get WOW back on track again. So here we are at installment number 4, and to continue the trend we are only charging 5 dollars for a stellar night at the legendary Sullivan Room. Come share the night with us and hear some rare sets from some of your favorite local deejanes!
