What sets Generation Z apart from other generations? What drives today’s youth, and what keeps them awake at night? No one can tell us better than Gen Z themselves. That's why we are portraying 24 students from Radboud University. In this episode: Charlotte Beniers, aka Locus Error (26) combines her studies Dentistry with techno spinning and producing

‘I’ve played cello since I was eight, and I joined the student orchestra. But I had to leave because there were too many cellists. I went to a lot of techno parties, and I always thought those turntables with all those knobs looked so cool. Then I thought: Why don’t I do that?

Now I spend approximately 35 hours a week spinning and producing my own music. Last spring, I released my first record; it’s on Spotify. It’s cool to see it on some of the playlists.

My ideal listener? Someone standing in some grim club in Berlin dancing to my music being played by a DJ. Clearly, dancing is the best way to relax. I once played in Berlin, and once in Düsseldorf.

For me, the night is a success if I have a good interaction with the audience. If they dance when I want them to, and if they throw their hands in the air when I do. It’s a matter of intuition, putting yourself in the shoes of the people on the dance floor.

When I graduate, I would like to work three days a week as a dentist and continue to make music. What I see with people who go for music full-time is that they soon start focusing on the kind of techno the masses like, just to bring in enough money. But that’s exactly what I don’t want; I want to keep making free, creative things.’
