Viers (FIGURE • Hokkaido dance club • CHURCH)
Few producers are as free-spirited and curious as Jordon Saxton, a Leodensian who's vacillated between going by Viers, LK, Zenzizenz, and Unklone since he broke onto the scene. Through the few dozen releases he's put out thus far, both on his own imprint, Hokkaido Dance Club, and those run by peers, like Figure and Let's Play House/LPH WHITE. He's made it his mission to explore the worlds of techno to ambient, breakbeat to house, rave to electro, EBM to U.K. garage on his own terms, imbuing everything he brings forth a particular clean-lined futurism, an austere freneticism. This restless spirit is perhaps manifested most plainly in his DJ sets, which wiggle between genres, styles, forms even more nimbly and swiftly than his original productions, and which have introduced him to a wide international audience; he's played NYC (and Boiler Room) with friend and collaborator Yaeji, toured Japan, and traced a path through most of Europe.

As a DJ he shared the stage with many artists including Diplo, M.I.A and Sinden. As a known taste-maker he also worked a stint as music editor of SuperSuper magazine, often hailed as the Myspace generations bible.
