The in-demand US DJ unfurls dubby, dance floor poetry.

Where does sentimentality fit on the dance floor? For Liv Klutse, AKA livwutang, the answer is everywhere. The New York-based DJ is guided by a deep desire to stir connection, finding themes and points of correspondence across an impressively broad range of sounds, tempos and eras. 

This emotional intuition lends Klutse's sets a depth few others can match. Her selections can seem unpredictable, rooted in an appreciation for feeling over genre—hard and soft sounds are carefully balanced with surrealism and bursts of nostalgia (for instance, the Lazy Dog bootleg edit of Everything But The Girl's "Tracey In My Room"). But as versatile as she is, a few signature traits colour her style, such as a love for dubwise music and rhythms from across the Black diaspora, alongside a refreshingly introspective energy that invites dancers to find moments of meditation—even during peak time. 

A former staffer at our New York office, Klutse has long merited an RA Podcast. Her slow-burning blends and mystical selections have graced near-enough every major festival and club out there, from Dekmantel and Sustain-Release to Nowadays, where she's been a resident since 2022. Despite this cross-continental touring schedule, she still plays plenty of grassroots venues—testament to her days with TUF collective and Orphan Radio in Seattle, as well as her enduring belief in the power of DIY, community-orientated dance music. 

"How did you come down off life?" James Massiah asks at the beginning of RA.975. Across nearly 90 minutes, Klutse's downright beautiful mix seeks answers to this question, reflecting on hedonism in times of political decay. She's in full-on dub mode, moving through meditative bassweight, glitchy house and flat-out weirdo techno with a deftness we've come to expect from one of the most promising, singular voices in dance music right now. She's got there all on her own terms—and we couldn't be prouder.

"I'm in a place of brutal honesty." The electronic pop auteur talks about her new album, the pressures of performing and falling in love with techno.

One of today's most exciting stars is Tahliah Debrett Barnett, better known as FKA twigs. Genre-wise, she's difficult to pin down; some critics call her music ethereal, alien R&B refracted through the lens of dance music. She's now touring her third album, Eusexua which she's described as "that surge of nothingness right before a surge of creativity, or the moment before an orgasm." It's a response to falling in love with techno a couple of years ago, and the songs all hover somewhere around the rave. 

In this RA Exchange recorded live at AVA London 2025, twigs talks to Nadine Noor, founder of queer arts platform PXSSY PALACE, about the process of putting the LP together, as well as the sometimes painful pressures involved in performing and adopting a public persona. Today, twigs says she's in a place of brutal honesty, and on the edge of 40, "hitting the perfect arc of behind hot and not an idiot anymore." She also discusses starting her dancing practice from an incredibly young age, taking her first steps on what she anticipates will be a long partnership with modular synthesis and the challenge of making original art in an era dominated by trends.

Jordan sure flexed his stacked sticks at the Saturday day party last year. He’s been at it since the days of CDJ1000s, and the technicality and flow shows here as he bounces across genres to lift up everyone within earshot. A humble legend of the 401 corridor.

Fortune Signal started as four friends with a shared obsession for dance music and a desire to carve out a niche that reflected our sensibilities. No big industry connects or main stage clout, just grit and passion.

The shape of the label has always morphed to occupy the space where our individual tastes overlap. Three years, fifteen releases, and many late nights later, the edges of that shape have come into sharper focus. "Visions" is our clearest statement yet, and a signpost for where we’re headed.

These tracks represent our renewed musical vision for the future: discerning and contemporary production that sidesteps obvious tropes, restrained when it needs to be, powerful when it counts, a little off-kilter, but always with a firm grip on the groove. High-functioning club cuts from some of the most exciting producers in our orbit.

"Visions" brings together new friends and old from our extended family across the US and UK. Some have released with us before. Some have played at our parties. Some are producers who we've been keeping an eye on and waiting for the stars to align. They're all artists we feel share our commitment to pushing forward-thinking dance music in a landscape that often defaults to the familiar.

Early support:
"Free Girl" - Moxie (NTS)
"Grasping For Acid" - Man Power (Rinse FM)
"Picking Up Threads From An Old Life" - Rob Zile (KissFM) 

[Preview] Visions - Various Artists

Injection Box returns with a rare transmission from Greg Beato (@oteab_gerg), the elusive Miami-based producer and DJ behind a decade’s worth of raw, left-of-center club tools. Known for releases on revered imprints like @l-i-e-s and @apronrecords, Beato resurfaces with his first official set since his mix for @dkmntl in 2016.

He last played for us in 2019, joining a bill that included live sets from Ectomorph and Ultradyne. Now, he delivers a characteristically unfiltered ride. Fractured rhythms, analog grit, and machine workouts collide from a voice rooted deep in the raw, no-frills heart of the scene.

This one’s tense, hypnotic, and unmistakably banging.
