what a set <3 ! whats that track called <3 ??

◆ Set Recordings ◆ Live n Direkt

Here we are with a recording from the first (but certainly not last) time Kiernan Laveaux graced the decks at Nowadays back in September of 2021. In it you’ll find so much of what we’ve come to love about the T4T LUV NRG affiliate: swarming percussion, freaky and frenetic psychedelia, otherworldly groove, a captivating sense of narrative, and so much more. 

This mix is a two and a half hour segment from her closing set, after DJ Voices and Azu Tiwaline earlier in the night. Packed to the brim with moments of tension and release, it makes for one truly wild and mesmerizing ride. The home listener is likely to find it just as enchanting as the dancers did. 

Big thanks to our staff and all those in attendance on this night <3

Nowadays Live and Direct 014 - Kiernan Laveaux

Recording from our Butt2Butt Sunrise (5am-9am) at @NowadaysNYC Nonstop Sept 26, 2021.

CCL x Physical Therapy [Live @ Nowadays Nonstop Sept 2021]

CCL on their staggering Friday performance at ROTUNDA: 

“I normally don’t get to play that fast from the get go but the crowd was so great it felt easy to play literally everything. It felt a bit like a wind tunnel in there. The shape of the stage, the whirling in and out of different tempos and the crowd’s energy made up for the perfect environment to play nothing but fast and half time rollers.”

I heal myself weekly with the music I play. I listen deeply to the words buried within; the intention behind the lyrics either peppered-in or chorused. So much of the house music I connect with is rooted in love. It’s rooted in desire and hope. It’s rooted in narrative, “Do you want to trip with me?”, “I’ll outstretch my hand”, “I won’t forget about you, you won’t forget about me, we won’t forget about love vibrations!”. I listen to the messages to remind myself what I need and why I continue to move forward.

Vol.2 is represented in two mixing styles; long-melded blends (Trippin’ On Love) and fast, tight radio-style cut mixes with overdubs (Slammin’ With Love). Both convey the deep need for connection to one’s body and to others. It’s this connection energy that I find so powerful about house music’s healing magic.

Octo Octa - Love Hypnosis Vol. 2 Mixtape

Campout is an experience that we meticulously curate from start to finish; finding an artist that can connect the dots and close the festival is never an easy task. When asking artists to play, we always encourage them to stay through the festival in its entirety. This is the best way to truly understand what the festival is and what the community brings. 

This brings us to @ciel_dj, who we view as one of the most talented and hardworking DJ/producers in dance music. She's put in the work with her own music but also with her community in Toronto. We fully trusted her to step up and give us all proper send off. From slamming house to funky tech house rollers, Ciel gifted the crowd the energy to make it across the finish line. The ending track, 'Right Here' by SWV was damn near perfection.

CCL b2b Kiernan Laveaux Live @ Public Records [09.09.2022]

@livwutang has really arrived on the world stage in the last year. The Seattle-raised, NYC-based artist came up through DIY raves and pirate radio and is now a regular at cult clubs and festivals across North America, as well as being booked in for next year's Dekmantel Selectors. Her sound freely moves between dub, Central and West Africa rhythms and a history of Black American music. All this comes out in her widescreen sets, her curation of the Eto Ano label and her hosting of their show on The Lot Radio.  

The confidence of her selections and ability to shift through moods from the serene to the deep, the energetic to the melodic is evident in this week's mix. It slowly works through the gears from dubbed-out depths to buoyant club rhythms via tribal techno. There is an ever-present mysticism and spirituality that adds an extra layer of intrigue to the body-popping rhythms and it's that which will keep you coming back for more.

The second entry in a series of living documents of momentum

Manifested live at Nowadays in New York City from 3am-6am the morning of June 27 2022

Euphoric kinetic connection embraces disorder inside the void, as we smile & dance toward anamnesis together

Destroy what destroys you & never stop loving one another

Natural's the way you should love
Feel the joy, elevate
It's the way we sway, riding waves eternally
Elevating me, through sky and sea
It's the calming breeze, whispering through the trees
Feel it push you, releasing love from every view
It's the way we sway in elemental harmony
Serenading me
Move so naturally
The moon, the stars
The sky & the sea
Why don't you follow me?
To a place
Where we can be free again
Natural, where I want to be

Thanks to Nowadays staff & everyone who danced & did their thing! This was a special moment in time & has brought me a lot of joy to listen back to since then. I hope it can do the same for any of you who listen.
