Vivian Wang

68 listings in 20 named rooms, over the last three years · one ahead

Born in Beijing and now based in NYC, Vivian has carved a niche in the global dance music scene with her high-energy sets and profound musical narratives.

Vivian’s journey in music began amidst the backdrop of Tiananmen Square, inspiring a lifelong quest to express freedom and connection through sound. Her sets defy any single genre as she creates unconventional blends of rare vinyl treasures and innovative original productions.

Her dynamic presence and versatility has propelled her to the top of the DJ scene, sharing stages with luminaries like Cassy, Danny Tenaglia, Seth Troxler, Juan Atkins, and David Morales, leaving audiences spellbound from Brooklyn to beyond. Vivian’s commitment extends beyond the DJ booth; she’s a pivotal figure in the Brooklyn Sway Label and a co-founder of Freshly Pressed, a music series that supports youth music programs.

Join us in celebrating Vivian Wang, who dances to the beat of her own drum, leaving a trail of joy and liberation wherever she plays.

Their rooms

One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.

5 more rooms they have played twice or more

Once each: Knockdown Center, Refuge, Chatroom at Elsewhere, House of Yes, Brooklyn Storehouse, 96 Morgan Ave and Jolene Sound Room Brooklyn. Six of the 69 listings never named a room, and are not counted as one.

Who they play with

Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
