Summer DJ Series: Ben Fasman  
Raised in Washington, D.C., in the 1980s and '90s, DJ Ben Fasman grew up in a time when seminal, hardcore punk bands such as Minor Threat were setting the bar for punks across the country. His affinity for the music was born on first listen. Ben's collection of vinyl grew rapidly, as much of the music he loved was available exclusively on wax. And his musical tastes soon grew to include hip-hop, world music, and jazz.
