Spend enough time at (or listening to) The Lot Radio, and chances are all you’ll find is Gabrielle Kwarteng. Even though she lives in Berlin now, the American DJ wears New York on her sleeve, repping for the station that helped make her name (she won a Mixcloud award for “Best Eclectic Show” pretty early on). Sure, you could call her sound eclectic—she jumps from house to Afrobeat to Jersey club and beyond—but it seems like intuitive might be a better word. She has the taste of someone raised by musical parents on a diverse diet of albums, of someone who eats, breathes,

and sleeps records.
