Abracadabra at Ponderosa Ranch.... what a time that was! At the start of March 2024, near the end of the festival season in Aotearoa New Zealand, a few hundred people gathered in a stunning remnant native forest of tall kahikatea trees to celebrate connection and good music. With a mix of magical and western themes, it was a sight and vibe to behold!

Inspired by the theme, I put together a bit of a musical journey into the Wild Wild West for my Saturday morning 10am-12pm set. Dare I say this is one of my favourite times behind decks ever, ushering in the first morning on Ponderosa Ranch as festival goers were getting ready for High Noon!

Thank you to Janik and Christa for having me and for the opportunity to play at the perfect time of day for my music. Your care and love in the curation of the lineup stood out to me as a masterful example of orchestrated magic.

Saddle up and enjoy the rodeo, y'all!

Voyage °33

When I was a kid, my mom was militant about me practicing piano. Sometimes she would insist I practice up to 4 hours per day. Of course, I was defiant. I put my Calvin & Hobbes comics behind my sheet music one page a time. "it built character," in the words of Calvin's father.

And yet, those 10 years of classical piano—even if I did practice, while reading comics simultaneously—made me a better musician. Heck, maybe I'm just extremely gifted and I'm absolutely a better DJ for the exposure.

I was invited to be an add-on for a party my friends were throwing for their friends. This old piano had been on their property for months. Try as they did to sell it, a new home could not be found. So now it belongs to all of us. It was quite cathartic to be standing on the keys, stomping up and down, moving some of my stuck resentment.

I set up my Opus Quad outside—I love this thing and I have a lot more to say about that—and played on not two but one speaker. As someone who is anal about my gear and a fidelity snob, I was a bit disappointed but we made it work. I find that performing in circumstances that tie a hand behind one's back draws out creativity, focus, and efficiency. Like, playing a stereo signal to a single speaker sounds a lot better than mono so just that little adjustment gave us a bit more of a vibe.

I was recently really inspired by Tummetott Mystic Creatures Festival 2024 set. Here, I play some of my most recent finds that I absolutely love. I mix creatively and actively.

Back to the Opus Quad: this set would not have been possible without it. Or, to put it another way, if I were to try and perform this on, say, an RX3 or even CDJs, I would have had to prepare and practice a lot more. I may have been able to do it on the FLX4 + laptop but the ergonomics are just so much better on the Quad. The Quad allows me to browse my music by ear, which allows me to navigate my library really efficiently and it puts me in flow.

I want to create some YouTube content on Quad and some of the other gear I really enjoy using and why. Let me know in the comments if this kind of thing would be interesting to you and what questions you might have.

ABOUT Lemonella:

Born and shaped in South Africa, Lemonella likes to explore ways of unifying the polarities of experience and honouring the full spectrum of emotional potentiality through music. So we move between the upbeat and the downtechno, the jingle and the jazz, the this and the that, the playful and the purposeful, the delicate and the dense. 

Maybe you’re moving around a busy city and there are a lot of dead-looking faces on the train… maybe you are dancing on a mountain or sitting in a room making little figurine animals out of clay…  maybe you’re on a boat out at sea, wearing a sailor’s cap and swaying into the sunset, or maybe you only go on such voyages in your mind… whatever worlds you travel to the music is here to accompany you, to add a little skip in your step, a smile to your lips and a kiss on the heart as you navigate through the altogether lush and dreamy and terrifying jungles of your experience.

Hach wie aber auch immer die Zeit vergeht … und schon wieder steht Weihnachten vor der Tür. Und natürlich auch in diesem Jahr überrasche euch mit meiner kleinen X-Mas Special-Reihe. 

Die Künstlerin für den X-mas Podcast hat dieses Jahr meine liebe Freundin Gina Sabatini entdeckt … und ihr Podcast für Afterhour Sounds hat mich so überzeugt das ich kitti mimizan dann für das Special gewinnen konnte. Johanna geht musikalisch so schön über den Tellerrand hinaus und webt das Ganze zu einem so fantastischen Soundteppich das man am liebsten damit fortfliegen möchte. Allein das schöne „Enjoy the silence“ Cover läuft hier in der Dauerschleife ;-) Danke Johanna für diese besinnliche Stunde &lt;3

Nun wünsche ich meinen geneigten Hörern, Follower, Freunden und allen Menschen eine ruhige und besinnliche Zeit.

Euer Elektro Uwe
