MKL
Born in Belize and raised in New York City during the birth of hip hop, MKL has a wide spectrum of influence embedded in his art. As a DJ, his desire to blend genres and flex his appreciation for music is focused around community – the end goal is to bring people together. “It was the mixing aspect that really drew me in,” he says. “The ability to take people on a journey via projection of one’s own vibe was the art form I fell in love with.” After thirty  years behind the decks and about fifteen as a producer, MKL founded Lion1Music, which serves as the ultimate outlet for his vision as an artist in the electronic music community.  MKL’s newest release, “Velvet Circle” is indicative of his emerging sound, blending deep house, techno and infectious chord progressions. When not in the studio MKL has been busy playing his trade behind the turntables both internationally and domestically. Recent ports of calls for the musical wanderer have included Japan, France, Italy, Greece and Tulum. When at home he spins at some of the hottest nightspots in the Big Apple including Output, Public Records  and Le Bain. The summer months sees MKL juggle a busy schedule of high end private bookings in the Hamptons & NYC spinning recently at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Rooftop At Pier 17  & The William Vale.

Libation Live Guest DJ MKL 7-20-25

We gathered for your birthday meng.  The food, the people, flowers and balloons.  We sang happy birthday and we remembered.  We celebrated you with music and dance.  I played for you mi hermano and it was surreal for you to not be there vibing with me, asking me about a track I played.  You were present though, we felt you, I felt you and I hope that you have peace and receive all the love that you gave all of us.  I love you meng, until we meet again.  The music never ends. This mix is for you.

For Antonio

Rick Wade is one of Detroit and house music's most consistent performers. He is a master of crafting tools that never miss on the floor but also have the sort of character that means they endure across the ages and remain impervious to passing trends. Art Is The Place has his latest, and it opens with the angelic vocals of 'Level Up' over a whimsical groove, then 'Big Ha Blues' gets more deep and zoned out with pillowy pads and wet claps. 'Intrusive Emotions' has a more grinding low end but stays slow and is softened by jazz keys, then 'Bitter Sweet brings some dust and grit. Another faultless outing from Wade.
