Interview with New York City DJ Ladler

DJ Ladler makes the move from the West Coast to New York City.Landon Adler, aka Ladler, brings his music to New York, leaving behind his growing legacy in Los Angeles.

Known for his immersive, story driven house sets, Ladler takes audiences on a journey each time he performs. “The story is the world that I’m building. It’s unexpected, and I want people to walk away feeling like they’ve discovered new music they’ve never heard before,” he shares.

Beyond his talent as a DJ, Ladler has built a comedic presence on social media through his “WTF Is This Mashup?” series on Instagram, where he blends unexpected sounds like a ping pong paddle and Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” with Kevin Parker’s music.

He has played a wide range of shows, including one memorable set at a dispensary where he assumed he had bombed. “Throughout the whole set, no one was dancing,” he recalls. “But right when I got off, everyone came up to say it was one of the best sets they’d ever heard.”

Now newly based in New York, Ladler says he feels like a “fresh palette.” He hopes the move will push him to think outside the box and rise to the challenge of the city’s diverse and expansive DJ scene.
