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.Recently at Refuge, H0L0, Dead Letter No. 9 · often with Asha Jasz, Devoye, Kiyoshi, none of them here that night

their own biography
the whole biography
Brooklyn-based DJ Arianna Danae brings an unmistakable New York energy to the dance floor, shaped by her Armenian heritage and a lifelong curiosity for music. Guided by instinct rather than convention, she approaches every set with an ear for the unexpected, weaving together timeless records, forgotten gems, and fresh discoveries to create moments that feel both familiar and entirely new. Since emerging from Brooklyn’s underground scene in 2018, Arianna has built a reputation as a thoughtful selector and respected voice within the community. She found her first home at Jupiter Disco with her monthly Rebelle party, which laid the groundwork for her career in artist programming and event curation. From there, she became a resident at Flash in Washington, D.C., later expanding into booking and programming before joining the programming team at Elsewhere in Brooklyn. She is also a longtime resident of Laylit, the internationally celebrated party championing music and culture from North Africa, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia. Whether introducing audiences to an unexpected record or giving new life to a familiar classic, Arianna’s sets are driven by curiosity, connection, and a belief that the best dance floors are built through trust, taste, and musical discovery.Recently at Good Room, Outer Heaven, Knockdown Center · often with Fatin, Sean Sato, Saphe, none of them here that night
