0:00A: I’m here in Newark, New Jersey right now. My name is DJ Fawzi. I’m an international DJ from here in Newark, New Jersey. Primarily I play the New York tri-state area. This Saturday I’m playing at Dolce from 8 PM to 2 AM. And Mr. Williams, who just left, is the person that created the club where the nickname house music comes from, from the warehouse. And people would hear special types of music at his venue that he created in Chicago. He’s from New York, created a venue in Chicago called The Warehouse. And then from The Warehouse, he created another venue and rebranded it and called it the Music Box. So he has 2 clubs from Chicago, and he’s making a rare appearance here on the East Coast, although he’s from Harlem, he’s from New York, but he’s making a rare appearance. And he’s a legend in the game, you know, because of him -- he’s almost 90 -- because of him, we have -- we’ve experienced dancing throughout the night and into the next day.
