For the 95th entry in the Honcho Podcast Series, we welcome @livwutang! Denver-raised, Seattle-honed, DJ livwutang stews together atmospheric soundscapes and bubbly instrumentation that could soundtrack a smoke-filled lounge, or a walk home under the cover of night.

After getting her start spinning on pirate radio, livwutang has been a regular curator and feature at local parties in her area. Her prolific grind and playful mixes earned her a spot as a resident of a room in one of Seattle's premier clubs.

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

Juanita's Mix 072 with Kiernan Laveaux @kiernan-laveaux

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. A girl doing their best to channel kindness, fun, & understanding throughout our known universe

Some ways other people have described me: Conductress of Chaos, Rockstar with a kind soul, Patroness of free divers


Q. How long have you been a part of the dance music community?
A. Since 2014, right after I graduated high school & started to help throw parties in Cleveland - almost like a whole decade now which is wild.

My relationship to it all continues to shift & grow but my life would be so much worse & empty without dancing & the people I've met thru it.


Q. Tell us about this mix.
A. So this mix is a super special one for me, composed of broken beat records I've picked up in NYC, but also Detroit & online. I've been really fortunate to be able to come to New York to play & see loved ones over the past few years, many of those times I'd end up leaving with a stack of these records in between some necessary laughs & growth in life. Every track in here honestly contains a snapshot of times I've felt able to really live my life & the people who've helped me realize we can all do that together - very much part of my soundtrack to feeling the sun & love around me in NYC.

Broken beat is a really special style of music for me - I was first introduced to it through Titonton Duvante & Charles Noel (Archetyp) through the way it influenced them in creating their unique vision of midwest techno that in turn has influenced a lot of my approach to music. 
The way that broken beat combines & dissolves so many eras of music (drum n bass, hip hop, 70s fusion, R&B, dub, etc) into new continuums is endlessly inspiring - always focusing on community, personal insight, celestial unknowns, the depths of life & self, the joys of moving with people, cultivating togetherness in a way that always makes me feel better after listening. 
Whenever I am having a weird day or don't know what music to play at home, I bust out my stack of broken beat records & just start mixing - this mix is very much a no thoughts vibes only kinetic result of that. 
I hope it can help soothe the mind & spirit for anyone else listening - a distillation of joy in the complicated world we share.

Included a thorough tracklist for this, really recommend checking any & all of these artists/tracks + the labels People, Main Squeeze, 2000black, Bitasweet, Archive, Co-Operation... the list goes on!
What is also really amazing about this music to me is the self contained but like infinite universe it's in, all sorts of producers & vocalists gliding in & out of each other's music - exchanging energy under all different names & sounds. Much love & respect to everyone whose music is in here & to everyone whose music will be in mixes like this in the future <3

Bringing the trippy Miami heat to the series is Coffintexts, one of the city’s hidden gems. 

She first made her debut in 2017 and has since released on international platforms such as Femme Culture, Jezebel and Club Qu - the latter featuring a remix from the local legend Danny Daze. 

Her tour dates include Miami’s III Points festival, Detroit’s Where Are My Keys, supporting Vegyn as well as playing for the likes of Ominidisc, Autonomy, and Jezebel and her previous mixes have seen her on platforms such as NAAFI, Movement Radio and Club Qu’s famed lockdown series. 

With an upcoming solo EP in the works as well as more collaborative releases with artists from the Miami scene, we’re super excited to have Coffintexts on 909. 

Speaking about the mix, Coffintext says, "I put together a mix inspired by what I've been listening to in the past month. The tracks I chose to include have been an influence for my upcoming solo EP that I'm currently working on. I also added a couple unreleased tracks in there from a separate joint EP with my friends. This mix was recorded live at a party in Miami. Hope you all enjoy it!”

I KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT - THEY WANT TO BE SHOCKED... AND GROOVED. AND THEY WANT HOUSE 
MUSIC.

Lawrence S. Williams Jr., better known as L.A. Williams, is an American DJ and producer from Chicago. Founder of the label Chisel, producer of over 27 releases, he has an idiosyncratic take to rhythms, sounds and grooves. 

As a huge fan, both impressed and beguiled, I wanted to shine a light on him. I still am often tripped up trying to blend his tracks while D'Jaying and fit them in a mix soooooooo I had to make this all L.A. mix ᏊˊꈊˋᏊ I spent the last few months collecting nearly all his releases on Discogs to use for the mix; a lot isn't available digitally, and it just felt right. 

I think the best way to hear his unique world and sound is via a tour of his various sides and styles, weaving and roiling, building and bubbling, jacking and smacking.

Recording of my opening set at Nowadays on 9.9.22 for DJ Voices residency w/ Lee Gamble. Big thanks to @latenitesbookclub for inviting me to play and to all the lovely @nowadaysnyc staff for being the best in the biz <3

T.Wan Live @ Nowadays (September 9, 2022)

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.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
Be yourself and do your best to let go of "perfection", it just does not exist. Ride the rhythm not the cue mark. Practice with any two records and/or tracks. Play YOUR beat in the mix, your friendships and with life in general. Less surrender to being salty may not be so cool these days but it will welcome a more patient attitude with yourself and help those that you love.
