Ever since emerging in 2013 with their spellbind self-titled debut EP, New York’s Wet have been crafting exquisite pop with sophisticated R&B and electronic influences. Originally a trio, Wet's evolution now finds Kelly Zutrau as its leading force, her crystalline voice and intimate storytelling defining the project's sleek yet introspective sound. This year Wet released their fourth full-length album Two Lives, a quietly powerful record inspired by Zutrau's life-altering transition into motherhood.

Wet's exclusive guest DJ mix is a beautiful insight into her contemporary inspirations and personal faves, featuring gems from Sonic Youth, Nourished By Time, Julie Byrne, Erika de Casier, Arca, Buddy Ross, Dylan Henner, and more.
