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 stirs connection across an impressively broad range of sounds, tempos and eras. Her selections prioritize feeling over genre, balancing hard and soft sounds with surrealism and nostalgia (like the Lazy Dog bootleg edit of Everything But The Girl’s "Tracey In My Room"). Signature traits include a love for dubwise music and rhythms from the Black diaspora, plus an introspective energy that invites meditation—even at peak time.
"How did you come down off life?" James Massiah asks in RA.975. Over 90 minutes, Klutse’s beautiful mix explores hedonism in political decay, shifting through bassweight, glitchy house and weirdo techno with the deftness that makes her one of dance music’s most singular voices. She’s got there on her own terms—and we couldn’t be prouder.
