If you’ve spent much time on a dance floor in Minneapolis over the past couple decades, chances are you’ve heard about the weekly dance night known as Transmission. Through its blend of new wave, indie rock, and alternative classics, it’s built a loyal following across generations.

This year marks 25 years of Transmission, which takes place every Wednesday night at the Uptown VFW. They're celebrating with a big party Saturday night at First Avenue.

The DJ who started it all is Jake Rudh, who hosts a show on The Current with the same name. He marked the milestone on Minnesota Now.
