Olive Kimoto is a Los Angeles born and raised DJ and musician. Her sets range from driving somatic rhythms and floating synths, to leftfield 90s sounds and lush soundscapes to melt into.
Olive hosts the monthly NTS Radio show Liquid Mirror, as well as the weekly ROVR show Endless Spiral. She travels the world playing across other stations such as HÖR, Kiosk Radio and Seoul Community Radio. She is the cofounder of the Cocteau Twins dance night, Heaven or Los Angeles at Zebulon.
Her clients include Apple, Spike Jonze, Vans, Doubleblind Magazine, and Orange County Museum of Art.
