Introduce yourself? Preferred pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself? 

Helloo, I'm Liv, she/her, living in Seattle. I’ve had 7 pet rabbits growing up (Timmy, Stella, Max, Chloe, Hillary, Flower, and Cinnabun).

How is everything going with you right now?

I’m honestly quite overwhelmed between work, creative projects, big life changes, and the return to more IRL interactions but I’m feeling inspired n positive in spite of the anxiety of it all :)

How did you get your DJ name?

In high school, we had a group project in history and this girl was writing our names in the top corner of the paper and asked me my last name, which is Klutse, but she heard Wu-Tang and wrote Liv Wu-Tang. It’s been my nickname and handle ever since & when I started DJing I was just going under my IG alias and never changed it, lol.

What advice do you have to other DJs to keep sane in the DJ world? 

Have a giggle filled b2b with your besties at least 2x a month to maintain your playfulness ~

What change do we need in the dance scene post pandemic?

All white lineups 🥴 Also speaking to the PNW regional scene in particular here – prioritizing booking locals to headline & bolstering our community instead of the biggest and best names in Europe with the same 5 locals on rotation as support.

Who currently inspires your music-wise?

Dana Kelley, Gemini, Maurice Fulton, and Larry Heard tracks are endless wells of cosmic inspiration to me and I turn to them in a rut, every time! 

DJ-wise, in no particular order, I’ve been especially inspired in the last year by Wonja, Kia, Kiernan Laveaux, LT, Ron Like Hell, CCL, Peer Review, Powder, Analog Soul, ADAB, NAP, Razrbark :)

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

https://soundcloud.com/down-2-earth/dj-trystero Subtle ear caress with that enviable breezy effortless style & flow that I can’t get enough of 

What was your first gig? How did it go? 

It was in my friend’s attic I was sitting down playing Kaytranada edits off of a Traktor controller and I don’t think one person listened to my set LOL

Describe your favorite thing to drink and how it makes you feel?

Rose or lavender kombucha because I feel happy knowing I’m tending to my gut health lol

Why do you think it's important to share music?

Because some things you can just say better with a melody:)

Where do you see yourself in 2060? ;) 

As part of my best friend’s commune, splitting my time between shared intergenerational homes with big wide porches on every continent 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Deeper investments into local scenes, communal care and increased harm reduction, more + diversified (i.e. across platforms) archiving of dance music history <3

re.lax w/ Laksa & Hassan Abou Alam 180922

Don't let @solid_blake's diminutive stature fool you: she plays with a ferocity and precision that flips Europe's most tasteful dance floors inside out. Born in Glasgow but operating out of Copenhagen, she was a founding member of the Apeiron Crew DJ collective, has produced as Historical Repeater with Ctrls and often plays with Mama Snake as she did at our own festival a few years ago. Her Rinse FM radio show is always packed with new sounds that have you desperate to find out more, as is this week's mix. 

It's built on bold, body-shaking rhythms that are elastic and acrobatic. They're loose and roomy to start before the kinetic energy builds through jungle cuts, thumping deep techno and unhinged club music. Though squarely aimed at the dance floor, these selections are detailed with freaky monologues or wild vocalisations that bring them to life outside the club. They're both deep but lively and run through with a subtle sense of party-starting fun.

Name: Adam Startin
Alias: Adam 2 (@adamtwo)
Pronouns: They/them
Location: Vancouver BC, Canada

Influences: 
The music I play is usually influenced by the seasons; happier playful sounds in warmer months, intense moody sounds in cooler months.  This mix is a particularly moody mix of atmospheric drum and bass, EBM and techno taking inspiration from artists such as Patrick Russell, Forest Drive West and Pessimist.  I also find myself using a lot of atmospheric noise to create abstract movie-like soundtracks taking inspiration from Rrose and Paleman; this particular movie soundtrack is a fictitious bleak sci-fi horror.  I also usually try to avoid playing music with 4x4 kick patterns.  

Affiliations/Residencies/Projects: 
My main affiliation/project right now is PPRZ Records, a Vancouver BC based record label and podcast series I run with DJ Hockey.  I also curated for 'Afrofuturism is NOW' (a label to showcase some of my favourite POC artists) and I currently sit on the board of directors for Active Passive who host 'experimental/ambient' shows/festivals on Galiano Island, BC.  I don't have any specific club residencies, but I play most regularly at Dolly, one of my favourite venues in Vancouver.

Favorite Quote: 
Use the desire of starting a new project as motivation for finishing your current project - Rick Rubin

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Wear ear protection in the club and in the studio all the time; don't let the ringing start to be your motivation to buy ear plugs.
