Lemonella (@lemonella / && / Plant Poetry) presents United We Rise Podcast Nr. 175 ████████████████████████████████████████████████ ▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration? I think preparation begins, subconsciously, the moment I agree to make a mix. Once that seed is planted in the soil of my mind, ideas swirl and I am sensing into which direction I want to go right up until I record it, and hopefully the fruit turns out ripe and sweet! I decided to go for a more upbeat dance mix, to usher in the summer. I am, as always, inspired by many genres and timelines - right now I'm loving everything from 'celestial' house, minimal, breakbeat, indie, and included lot of tracks from South Africa/with African rhythms. As a poet, I am a sucker for lyrics. Also, it doesn't matter if a track was released yesterday or 10 years ago, if I feel it in my soul its always current to me. ▌II How would you describe your style? Eclectic, poetic, fun and deep. ▌III How do you make use of technology? Someone once said to me, 'technology is like an angel'. I interpreted that as, machines can can be, in a poetic way of thinking, animated by the energy with which you go about using them. You 'feed' them energy, and that energy amplifies. I once had a silly but profound moment with my musical setup during a period when I felt disconnected from being a DJ and all the ego and stereotypes, and didn't feel like touching the cdjs much. Late one night I turned them on, and just watched them glowing back at me, and that kind of melted my heart, as if it were some sort of spaceship, and I thought 'right okay, what is my spaceship about, what frequency do I want to transmit?' And the answer came immediately, that it is all about love and connection. Reminds me now of a wonderful track by New Jackson... 'put the love in it.' ████████████████████████████████████████████████ █ Lemonella (@lemonella / && / Plant Poetry) SC - https://soundcloud.com/lemonella IG - https://www.instagram.com/lemonella_music SPOTIFY - https://open.spotify.com/artist/5U408XqGkgn2azH0ka7M2F FB - https://www.facebook.com/lemonellamusic █ UNITED WE STREAM (Berlin / Global) FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/unitedwestream/ WEB - https://unitedwestream.berlin/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/unitedwestream/ ████████████████████████████████████████████████ █ HASHTAGS #lemonella #&& #plantpoetry #arteconcert #soundcloudpodcasts #music #electronicmusic #melodictechno #afrohouse #organichouse #deephouse #house #techno #electronica #downtempo #disco #techno #ambient #italo #wave
