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

Hey! Thanks for these thoughtful questions
My pronouns are She/Her or They/Them
I currently reside in Pittsburgh, PA
I eat strawberries whole :)

How did you get your DJ name? 

So one night when I was 18, I was at a Los Crudos show at the venue that a lot of friends and I would later throw parties at in Cleveland (shout out to Martin and any Limp Wrist fans reading this too!). The venue is next door to a terrible gay bar, I went there randomly (weird for me because gay bars are hell on earth 99% of the time) and ended up meeting a group of queens who said they were from the House of Laveaux and that I was their daughter now. They said I needed a name, and the name they chose for me was Kiernan Laveaux. I never saw them again after that night, but a few months later I began to go by the name when I started DJing. It’s become a part of my being in a way I couldn’t have imagined, and also a way of expressing my inner voice in hopes that it reaches the inner voices of others too - and maybe we all start to sing together.  

Who/what currently inspires your music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

Everything is musical & leads back to music for me no matter what, but recently leaning into the fact that I’m the oldest of a handful of young people on the paternal side of my family has been a really inspiring perspective shift of life. The potential of being a supportive & loving older person in the lives of younger people fills me with an infinite amount of joy.

I’ve been discovering more about Jewish heritage of mine that’s been attempted to be erased (as it goes), and in turn learning/reading more about Kabbalisitic thought & ways of being - engaging in magic in my own ways has been expanding my perspective on music/DJing the past several years. 

I’m far from any kind of expert on kabbalah, but the way energy flow & manifestation is written about and practiced within it has been validating to read, in music but as well as the way it feeds back into life. Even just the ability of the word “kabbalah” to translate to “reception”, “tradition”, or “correspondence” <3

Dream line-up?

System of a Down, Nissenenmondai, Cities Aviv, Devo, Mwandishi, The Body, Madam Data, Model Home, Obnox, Neon Phusion, African Head Charge, Cindytalk, Maurice Fulton, Via App, Cyrnai, Rakta, Plack Blague + all the homies DJing for a week straight

What was your best moment on the dance floor?

I’m thankful a lot of meaningful ones come to mind when I think of this - 
the one I always jump to with this question is the first time I saw Titonton Duvante & Bill Converse dj in May 2016, somewhere in Ohio. Both are definitely some of the first people who helped me see how unique & personal you can really be with DJing, Bill’s set that night especially helped show me how deep you can traverse the wormhole. It was just like this completely enveloping & beautiful psychedelic phenomena for me. I don’t remember a lot of the music, but I’ll never forget how it made me feel. Eternally grateful to have any of these experiences in life to help me smile and still feel coursing through my DJing to this day.

Do you have any upcoming releases/gigs?

Lots of ideas swirling in my mind to manifest for the future, but as of right now…

I’m playing in NYC Friday Sept 24 at Nowadays with 
Azu Tiwaline & DJ Voices :)

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

A complete & utter overhaul of the ways we create space, express ourselves, and love one another.

Juanita's Mix 85 with livwutang @livwutang

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. Aspiring multi-hyphenate : )

Q. How long have you been a part of the NY music scene?
A. I moved to NY in September of 2021. I had started to meet the seedlings of my now friends and budding community when I played here earlier in the summer of 2021 and before that, when I went to Sustain in 2019.

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. This mix is:

1/2 the sequel to my beloved Honcho dubstep mix from 2021
1/2 a mix of music I would have shown to my baby stoner self in high school, instead of the carefully curated Majestic Casual-ridden playlists she was dutifully crafting at the time to accompany her equally intricate apple pipes.

This is part 1 of 3 of the recording from my set at Nowadays Nonstop on April 7, 2024.

I played from 9am-3pm, between JASSS and Bearcat, and it was one of the most creatively fulfilling sets I can remember playing – one of those sets where the audience, environment, atmosphere, tech setup, phase of the moon, whatever, all somehow lined up for a full 6 hours. And happily, the recording is maybe my favorite I’ve managed to capture to date. Huge thanks to Kristin for inviting me and to everyone who was there that morning.

Hessle Audio feat. Pearson Sound - 21 October 2024

[PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] opens the new season of 2025 with great pleasure, presenting its 56th release. A sonic frontier beyond which the unknown begins. "Borderline EP" is music that blurs the lines between reality and imagination. Eraser (@erasersounds), an Argentine producer from Buenos Aires, invites us on an audacious journey into the depths of dub techno.

Original Tracks:

Wake Up – The opening track of the EP, like a call to awaken and dive into contemplation. The sonic texture slowly unfolds, combining deep bass with barely perceptible melodic nuances, creating a sense of expansive soundspace where every element seems to breathe and live.

Room 204 – An intimate composition, like a sonic sketch from an enclosed space filled with echoes and muffled rhythms.

1985 – A musical journey through time, where dense basslines and fluid textures evoke memories of days long gone.

Ice Age – The final track, cold and uncompromising, much like nature itself. The soundscapes transport the listener to the world of harsh northern winters, where piercing high-frequency elements resemble the wind, while deep basses reflect the slow movement of ice masses. This is a sonic force of nature, where rhythm becomes the motion of ice and melodies flow as frozen time.

Remixes:
5. Wake Up (Xyiz Remix) (@xyiz) – A transformed track with a focus on rhythmic experiments and deep sonic layers.
6. Room 204 (Oldschool_Dubtechno .Producer Apartment 100 Edition) (@enercube & @x_fr) – A personal take, where minimalist accents intensify the immersive atmosphere.
7. Ice Age (Hidden Encampment Frost Dub) (@masayuki-takahashi-4) – A dark and cold interpretation that reveals a new angle of sound. A powerful dub vibe intensifies the original version.
8. Wake Up (Deepdrome Remix) (@deepdrome) – A rework that adds dynamics and modern sound to the original composition.
9. Ice Age (Substak Reverb Ocean Remix) (@substak) – A remix where echo and reverb create a sense of infinity and space.

Borderline EP – A journey exploring the boundaries between light and darkness, warmth and cold, reality and imagination. Each track immerses the listener in a unique sonic universe.

Eraser demonstrates mastery in crafting sonic narratives. Every detail is meticulously thought out, from the finest sound textures to intricate rhythmic patterns and atmospheric transitions, making each composition a complete work of art. The remixes add diversity while maintaining the integrity of the concept.


Yours in sound and spirit,
The [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] Team.

Eraser - Wake Up (Deepdrome Remix)

Jamuary 2025 Day 12: Title explains it for the most part.  Sounds were sliced from sounds made by my voice and kitchen sounds (ie exhaust fan, drawers opening/closing, hitting different types of cups and mugs and hitting bowls with water moving in them for bends).

Right now it's all percussion but I might try to see if I can put some guitars on it, especially long whole note chords to give the beat the heavy lifting and not over-crowd an already-overcrowded song haha

1-12-25 Experiment with Voice Sounds for Beatbox and Kitchen Sounds (Demo)

Radio program, The Blend, 20 years on PBS 106.7FM! Hosted by @emelyne-khor & Bevin Campbell (+ monthly resident @beatski), see www.pbsfm.org.au/theblend. Club nights - More Styles.

<<<< CAMPBELL BIO >>>>
Naarm based DJ and radio host Campbell has long been honing his craft, calling on his UK roots, to entrench himself as a staple of the local bass music scene. As host of PBS 106.7FM program The Blend, which recently celebrated 20 years of broadcasting, the weekly program has become an integral part of the cities rich musical fabric. Inside Campbell showcases a diverse mix of electronic music across the heavier end of the spectrum.

His love for music and future direction was cemented as a key member of the crew behind the Red Bull Music Academy (RBMA) in Melbourne '06. Soon after he established the Blend Corp. label to distribute the material of renowned artist Wax Tailor (FR), among others. Campbell's connection and contribution to the greater music community saw him join the CDR team, which ran Melbourne producer meetups, and continues through mentoring announcers and DJs at PBS. The Blend has a strong emphasis on supporting new talent, along with the more established, featuring weekly guest mixes and interviews from both local and international artists.  

Known for his eclectic taste, sets vary depending on the night in question and he is not one to be put into any box or category, comfortably slotting into diverse lineups covering drum’n’bass, jungle, footwork, dubstep, grime, halftime, UK garage and beyond. Residencies past and present include Howler, Workshop, Lucky Coq and Black Cat, along with regular spots at clubs such as Revolver Upstairs, Miscellania, Sub Club and Section 8. A selection of recent highlights include performances at Melbourne Music Week Live Music Safari, Sub Club 8th Birthday, Red Bull 1800 Doof, plus Digital (UK), Pangaea (UK) and Djrum (UK) shows. Having completed several tours around North America and Europe, his latest took him to headline shows across Asia.

Asia tour highlights, spanning 7 countries: Japan at Zubar Tokyo, Singapore for Kings of Bass, Thailand at Irie Bongkok, Taiwan at 23 Music Room Taipei, Indonesia for shows throughout Bali including Plutonic, Potatohead and 40 Thieves, Hong Kong for the Rolling with the Waves boat party and Dark Metaz club show, and the Philippines for the Ichiban launch party and Ichiban Festival on Siargao Island.

USA and Canada tour highlights, across 8 cities: Los Angles, Detroit, Portland, San Francisco, Montreal, New York, Chicago and Denver. Shows covered iconic venues and club nights such as The Black Box (Denver), Stamina (San Francisco), Proper (Chicago) and Motor City Wine (Detroit), where he was greatly humbled to have Underground Resistance legend John Collins come down to meet and scope the show. Radio appearances during the period featured broadcasts on dublab (LA), XRAY fm (Portland) and Music is my Sanctuary (Montreal).

European tour highlights, covering 10 countries: Spain, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Brussels, United Kingdom, Hungary, Finland, Latvia and Germany, with shows including the Outlook, L'Estrany and Soundwave Festivals. The first of which he played several slots culminating in the epic Converge Boat Party with Youngsta, Jack Sparrow and Kaiju. Other shows included playing alongside such luminaries as Om Unit in Prague to the Levelz crew (Chimpo, Skittles et al) in Berlin, as well as an NTS radio visit and mix for the CDR Audio show.

Past Australian highlights: Melbourne Festival Artist Party, Rainbow Serpent Festival, The Dot, Outlook Festival Melbourne, Sun & Bass Melbourne, Strawberry Fields, Earth, Paradise, RBMA Shows (DJ Vadim, Clark, Lone), Judge for The Age Music Victoria Awards (2014/15/16) ++
