their own biography
the whole biography
DJ Houseplants is the alias of American-Cambodian DJ, producer, and designer Justin Av. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest and currently based in Brooklyn, Av brings his wide-ranging experience as a musician and a fresh perspective to New York’s house scene. Before finding his home in electronic music, he cut his teeth as drummer in punk and doom metal bands at age 14, going on to explore sounds ranging from shoegaze to IDM and make a footprint as a prominent producer in the golden era of soundcloud rap. His productions and sets weave together elements of classic house, jungle, breaks, and bass music, pulling you in with a hypnotic bounce and four-to-floor hooks drenched in an undeniably nostalgic feel. Drawing inspiration from his frequent retreats to the forest, DJ Houseplants envelops his listeners in lush, hypnotic and familiar soundscapes — allowing dancers to photosynthesize together like plants reaching for the sun, opening and thriving from the positivity of the music. With an emotive sensibility, Houseplants pays homage to the early producers and greats that have come before him by seamlessly recontextualizing hidden gems into raw and driving sets. Having shared the stage with the likes of Todd Edwards, Ashlyn Lauryn, Park Hye Jin and DJ Seinfeld, and recently returned from a 2024 world tour, Houseplants is making waves as a prolific producer and performer. A graphic designer working in fashion, an environmental conservationist, a first generation immigrant from Cambodia—he lets his life experiences inform the type of music he makes, inviting you to explore music through a more introspective lens. Driven by the vibrancy of dancers, he channels the spirit of the community to amplify the energy of the dance floor.Deep House on 5, Techno on 3, House on 3 and Electro on 2. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Dublab (2), Dancing On Wax (1) and The Nursery (1). labels on their catalogued releasesoften with Florence Cecile, LANSUH, Jay Dalawa, none of them here that night
