For the month of April, we invited MPIRG at UMD to Raid Our Records! 🌎

MPIRG at UMD's Stine and Jessica picked out their favs from The Basement's music library for a playlist YOU can listen to all month long. Not only have they both been fighting for social, economic, and environmental change with MPIRG since their freshman years- they are also long-time student DJs for The Basement!

Since they are more than familiar with our collection, each pick came from their hearts and a late-night college radio playlist. Swipe to see more deets on their selections, click the link below to listen now! ⬇️

The Basement invited the UMD Q***r and Allied Student Union for March's Raid or Records!⚡ 🏳️‍🌈

Board members David & Tilia created a bopping playlist from songs in The Basement's library that YOU can listen to all month long! ⬇️

For David, their selections were based on "what I am trying to get into at this moment, song titles were things I could relate to." For Tilia, they "sought out gayness with guidance."

Thank you QASU for being our March ROR feature, we hope you all enjoy their playlist as much as we do!
