Using the structures of music as mediums in her multi-media universe, Juliana Huxtable is a DJ and musician singular in her approach.

At once an assertion of freedom and an ode to the evolutionary structure of electronic music subcultures, she aspires to the sublime in what can often only be described as witchcraft behind the decks; seance from the stage.
