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.

Recording of Simo Cell's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

Dekmantel Selectors 2021 was a much needed musical reunion. After the preceding period of stillness, the catharsis and pure joy of finally being together again has been overwhelming. In the words of Simo Cell: "It's 7pm, and I have 5 missed calls on my phone: 'We're expecting massive rain tonight and we will have to close your stage earlier, is it okay for you to play earlier?' No time to stress and to think about it. I left my place and started my set straight away. From a few people to a packed dancefloor, I built up slowly from 90bpm to 160bpm (you know the drill). Pretty happy about the progression of the set and the rise in intensity. In the end, the crowd turned into a mosh pit on XXXtentacion and I had the best time behind the decks. It's good when things sometimes happen spontaneously like that. And it didn't rain after all."

For Number Fifty eight... A very special live recording from two US based queens, @ameliaholt & @notyumiko , who make up two thirds of the 'In Your Dirty Ears' crew. This set was recorded at Public Records in NYC. In Your Dirty Ears currently hosts a residency at Public Records. Amelia also hosts a bi-monthly radio residency on @movement-radio-athens.

Cut from the In Your Dirty Ears residency at Public Records, the mix spans from trip hop and dub to bass heavy dance music with Amelia Holt on for the first hour, followed by Yumi for the later hour and a half. The two alongside Sara Casella run a monthly newsletter focusing on exciting new releases and mixes circulating amongst the three. You can sign up here: tinyletter.com/InYourDirtyEars

Thank you so much for your contribution to the series Amelia & Yumi! <3

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

Daniel Rincón. Bogotá. Montreal. Virgo Sun.

Why do you think it's important to DJ? 

A way to tell your story, to be part of a cultural archive and a sharing in folklore/ grassroots. Important to look at djng as a way to connect the dots between sounds and people (not capital). 

Describe your favorite club in the world?

Almost always parties put on by friends in places off the beaten path. Most memorably, any party that’s happened in the woods of Stanley Park.

Let’s play a pipipi game… I give you a situation & you give me a track 

** Climbing a volcano-- gunna erupt!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u7vzaqITMA

** First track out of this quarantine to soothe the world
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEEEL5uY3_8

** Greenhouse galore-- oxygen running out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q11ium_-Lv8

** Stuck at an airport with only 1 track to listen to over and over
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPrQ6HSQkAc

Advice to beginning djs?

Embrace mistakes, fuck a bpm and learn the rules… so you can break them!

Describe the best dj/live set you have witnessed?

Live: Faust reunion 2012, roadtrip with friends to see MBV in Seattle, anytime i’ve seen You’re Me

DJ:  D Tiffany , Carlos Suoffront, Helena Hauff.

Most underrated artist at the moment?

Vani-T, Scott J. Gailey, Goo, MassieDome

What do you miss most about clubbing? 

Public assembly

Describe the vibe of your first DJ set?

Sleepy sunday vibe at a Tiki bar in Vancouver BC with the 30 guitar records I owned at the time.

Describe what you would want your rider to look like as a DJ all star playing Ibiza…

Sensory deprivation tank, oxygen bar and gummy bear chandelier.
 
Describe the first moment where you had an epiphany about your love for music?

Getting a discman in concurrence of the napster advent and burning cds felt special and allowed me to discover so much music! 

Favorite weird drug experience? 

Hooping MDMA and going to Robert Johnson for the first time.

Any advice about what to do with free time during this moment of social distancing?

Express yourself
