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

Helloo, I'm Liv, she/her, living in Seattle. I’ve had 7 pet rabbits growing up (Timmy, Stella, Max, Chloe, Hillary, Flower, and Cinnabun).

How is everything going with you right now?

I’m honestly quite overwhelmed between work, creative projects, big life changes, and the return to more IRL interactions but I’m feeling inspired n positive in spite of the anxiety of it all :)

How did you get your DJ name?

In high school, we had a group project in history and this girl was writing our names in the top corner of the paper and asked me my last name, which is Klutse, but she heard Wu-Tang and wrote Liv Wu-Tang. It’s been my nickname and handle ever since & when I started DJing I was just going under my IG alias and never changed it, lol.

What advice do you have to other DJs to keep sane in the DJ world? 

Have a giggle filled b2b with your besties at least 2x a month to maintain your playfulness ~

What change do we need in the dance scene post pandemic?

All white lineups 🥴 Also speaking to the PNW regional scene in particular here – prioritizing booking locals to headline & bolstering our community instead of the biggest and best names in Europe with the same 5 locals on rotation as support.

Who currently inspires your music-wise?

Dana Kelley, Gemini, Maurice Fulton, and Larry Heard tracks are endless wells of cosmic inspiration to me and I turn to them in a rut, every time! 

DJ-wise, in no particular order, I’ve been especially inspired in the last year by Wonja, Kia, Kiernan Laveaux, LT, Ron Like Hell, CCL, Peer Review, Powder, Analog Soul, ADAB, NAP, Razrbark :)

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

https://soundcloud.com/down-2-earth/dj-trystero Subtle ear caress with that enviable breezy effortless style & flow that I can’t get enough of 

What was your first gig? How did it go? 

It was in my friend’s attic I was sitting down playing Kaytranada edits off of a Traktor controller and I don’t think one person listened to my set LOL

Describe your favorite thing to drink and how it makes you feel?

Rose or lavender kombucha because I feel happy knowing I’m tending to my gut health lol

Why do you think it's important to share music?

Because some things you can just say better with a melody:)

Where do you see yourself in 2060? ;) 

As part of my best friend’s commune, splitting my time between shared intergenerational homes with big wide porches on every continent 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

Deeper investments into local scenes, communal care and increased harm reduction, more + diversified (i.e. across platforms) archiving of dance music history <3

Who/what currently inspires you music-wise that has nothing to do with music?

The people closest to me

Dream line-up?

I would love to see Riuichi Sakamoto. 

If you had to trade your USB with one DJ, who would it be and why?

URA (Zac MacArthur)! Mans got tunes. 

How do you typically prepare a mix?

I fill a stick or a bag with music I want to play. Try not to overthink it. After a while I feel like intuition is king.

Who do you think is the most underrated artist of our time?

CFCF / Cecile Believe

3 goals for 2022 that has nothing to do with music?

DJ Fart In The Club @ Sustain Release

What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

Huerco S and DJ Healthy at Public Records. Refreshing club music. Love it.

What was your first gig? How did it go? 

It was in a bar in the suburbs using Virtual DJ. My girlfriend at the time was celebrating her birthday. We were 16. It was hype. 

Any advice to upcoming DJs? 

Find a good therapist

Miscmeg at Soma Festival 2024

recorded live at camp kennybrook in monticello ny from 3am to just after 7am on Kiddo's birthday to greet the sunrise and close out what turned out to be a killer night of Friday (the 13th) programming that we lovingly curated (feat. our friends and yours POSI-TRACK, Rachel Noon, and Purelink) for the debut of the new and improved Bossa Lounge at Sustain-Release Year 10 (2024).

curatorially, we imagined the room to be an affirmation of the aesthetic wonders and general badassery of LOUNGE as not only a tragically overlooked piece of the electronic music history puzzle but also a vastly under-appreciated form of rave-adjacent social practice. 

conceptually, this mix builds upon and extends the project of sonic-affective worldmaking that was initiated and established by our previous performances at S-R (years 4 & 5). regardless of genre, playing at sustain is always an opportunity to focus on cherishing the juicy site-specificity of listening to psychedelic music in nature with your friends, and the rare forms of potentiality held therein. 

this time, we chose to allow the form of the set to be organically guided by the concept of THE FOUR ELEMENTS. dynamically following the progression WATER • EARTH • FIRE • AIR the set prioritizes and performs an ethos of maximal transport, simultaneously journeying inwards, onwards, upwards, and outwards. 

we really put a lot into this one, and sincerely hope you enjoy the ride!

Back to where it all began! For the first time since 2018, we’re bringing back the split EP format—the one that kickstarted our journey. This format holds a special place in our hearts, as it perfectly embodies our mission: to give a platform to emerging artists and spread the fresh energy they bring to the scene.

This release brings together Yesca and HATT.D, two artists we first connected with through our Happy House compilations, now delivering a full-length statement of their own.

Across six tracks, HT25 is crafted for the dancefloor—built for peak-time sets, open-air moments, and the raw energy of festival season.

Out May 23rd on vinyl and digital.


Yesca - On My Mind (Groove Mix) [Happiness Therapy]

Spherical Future

We present to you a recording of the first half of Hypnotic Spa at Sustain Release: Year Five. We were very happy to be invited to close-out the Grove stage at Camp Kennybrook on Saturday morning. What transpired among the pines was pure magic, a spiritual exercise that echoed the sacred traditions of our ancestors, and one that might best represent our efforts with this music more than ever before. It was a blessing and an honor to perform. 

Thank you for listening and for joining us on this journey, may the time you spend with us be blessed and enriching. Special thanks to Zack Kerns for recording this, and a deep thank you to Aurora, Daniel and everyone else for the wonders they do with Sustain-Release. "It's moments like these that we find who we are and recognize ourselves, our place among the cosmos, through time, our journey and beyond. Pure love to all those who tune-in with us and feel the magic, we love you and we're so glad you're here with us!" -Hypnotic Spa
