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.

"I just moved to Brooklyn and recently received my possessions, which includes my record collection. I wanted this to be the first mix that would ground me in my space and neighborhood. The records are a mix of purchases old and new and very indicative of the vibe I was serving in 2019, but with a lil extra sauce to show where I’m headed in 2020 and beyond. Lately, some folks have been picking up on the depth of emotion I put into my mixes and track selection and I feel like this is my sappiest mix yet. Cry, please, I have to these tracks a lot. I’ve been a Discwoman supporter from the very beginning, so I’m truly honored to kick off this year of mixes. I don’t know where I’d be without y’all. So yeah this one gets emotional haha." - @russellelbutler

Phew! We made it! The first Personal Space mix post Iso here in Perth took place on a still winters afternoon in the gardens of east freo. After months of minimal gatherings and limited physical social interaction with our dearest friends it was finally deemed safe to give our friends a hug again. Thank you Pete!

Some words from Pete:
"With this mix I invite you to join me for a cozy date in my personal space. In here you can find both warmth and coolness, slumber and arousal. Love, but also loneliness and vulnerability. 
First I’d suggest taking off your shoes and getting comfy. There is a couch here you’ll sink right into, as well as cushions and blankets on the floor if you prefer. In this space we can relax and unwind together, in silence, gazing out the window, listening and feeling as the seasons change from Summer to Autumn, through Winter and Spring.
Thanks for listening"
