About WAXWORLD: Rosa Garcia has deep roots in Minneapolis and years of involvement in the local music community. It could be argued that Garcia, who performs as DJ Madre, owes their entire existence to Purple Rain. Garcia’s parents met on set while appearing as extras in the film. After founding the “DJ skill-sharing/support community for Black/Indigenous women, queer, femme, and non-binary people of color” DJ-U in 2016 and curating various spaces such as Mothership and The Artery, Garcia has moved on to their next endeavor, a record store. Located in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis, Wax World is a small but cozy DJ-centered store. Formerly known as Wizard Wax, which sold vinyl and comics, the store now has inventory mostly from their own collection and from other DJs connected to Minnesota.
