"Josh Greenwood, owner of longtime Capitol Park coffee shop/techno oasis Urban Bean Co., closed his spot during the pandemic to work on its next iteration, Spkr Box, a cafe and bar. The reimagined space opens its doors over Movement Weekend and with it comes an extensive facelift, including upgrades to the spot’s window panes, a small second-level bar, upgrades to the DJ booth, a new sound system, a liquor license, and food sourced by Village Hand Pies. In addition to running the cafe, Greenwood has been a mainstay in promoting the local techno scene for decades, so reopening plans include a lineup of parties over the long weekend, including “The Juice Is Loose” party from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, May 27, DJ sets by the from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. on Saturday, a drum and bass-themed party at 2 p.m. on Sunday, and an after-party on Tuesday." - Serena Maria Daniels
