their own biography
the whole biography
Kiernan Laveaux is a connective rhythmic energy conduit & ecstatic beat conductor from the Great Lakes. A boundless ball of discordant energy, she’s an adventurous spirit - conducting the vibrant forces of our world that are transmitted through the unbridled passion contained within her DJing. As a “one-of-a-kind American DJ”, she’s best known for her arcane technical skill, propulsive dancefloor catharsis, & hyper-creative approach behind the decks. Originating from within Cleveland's multiversal electronic underground, she materialized through the rhythms of life & her loved ones - inspired by forces of universal chaos, the experimentalism and joy found within midwestern electronic music, & the infamous In Training, Heaven is in You, Disco Paradiso parties manifested by herself & loved ones in Cleveland, she's since embarked on a lifelong journey of channeling binary dissolving phenomena throughout our known universe via her unbridled musical vitality & the multifaceted Sweet Abyss imprint. The music she plays is all-embracing & expansive, but unified by a restless sense of ecstatic momentum, dissonant euphoria, & kinetic exuberance - all woven together by entrancing pulsations of uninhibited groove & rhythmatic sensation. Over the past decade, her ethos of community building, passionate autonomy, and transportative psychedelia has grown to encompass the creators of possible worlds everywhere - releasing a vast array of mixes and live recordings available for your listening pleasure, as well playing iconic & transformative sets at worldwide rave destinations including Freerotation, Draaimolen, WHOLE United Queer Festival, an anarchist bookstore in Ohio, Honcho Campout, Return to the Source, a train car in Wisconsin, a woodworking studio in Oregon, a gas station turned into a restaurant in Texas, Club Toilet, Sustain-Release, a USPS shipping container in Virginia, a dub soundsystem club in Poland, and wherever else fun you’d love to have her play next.Techno on 3, Ambient on 2, Experimental on 2 and House on 2. styles on their catalogued releasesReleased on Dekmantel (1) and Real Blue Love Rips (1). labels on their catalogued releasesRecently at The Living Gallery, Good Room, Mansions · often with Pamela_ and her sons, 30000AD, Nick Boyd, none of them here that night

Michael Cignarale is a Brooklyn based DJ and producer and a powerful enigma who has given the dance music scene a new feast for both sight and sound! In January 2024, he was named as one of DJ MAG’S “EIGHT EMERGING ARTISTS YOU NEED TO HEAR," shortly after releasing “Dance Like We Are Lovers,” which features remixes from Justin Cudmore and BASHKKA. Michael is the resident DJ of MEDUSA, an instrumental party that has shaped China’s dance music scene for the last eight years. Both a producer, vocalist, and DJ, Michael incorporates every facet of entertainment that audiences desire, and leaves them thirsty for more. His impactful live vocals are signature to his sets, paired with pumping 90’s inspired house music. His DJ sets are a blend of driving energy, flair, and exquisite frequencies that pump the essence of New York underground into your soul. In 2021 Michael released a 10-track album, “Operatic Orgasm.” The album garnered widespread acclaim thus solidifying his position within the industry as a versatile and sought-after music producer. Releasing music on the legendary “Nervous Records,” Michael is primed to explode even further this year with his highly-anticipated future releases on Chrissy’s Maximum Airtime, Medusa Records, and more. He has been featured on The Blessed Madonna’s, BBC Radio Six “The Story Of… ,” as well as various other high-profile media publications such as “Resident Advisor, MixMag, and Crack.”Their RA profile lists Polari Records, Medusa Records, Spotlight Records, Maximum Airtime and 1 more.Recently at BASEMENT, public records · often with Dee Diggs, materia hache, Function, none of them here that night
