Hey friends! This week we are back. We wish we could say that are absence was for a good reason, but unfortunately this was not the case.

As some of you may or may not know, our home, Yamba Lisbon, was burnt to ashes due a fire. The cause is still unknown and we are taking donations to get back on our feet and rise again like a phoenix.

On a lighter note, we continue to keep the Yamba spirit alive through music. That's why this week, we bring you a magical set by @lemonella, South African born artist and poet.

Her work has an alchemical quality to it; rooted in an intimate observation of the inner and outer environment and then blending diverse elements (video, collage, sound, poetry)in way that we've never seen before. Her sound encompasses themes of sensuality, playfulness and harmony. We hope this mix heightens your senses and lifts your spirit.

---------------------

// What's the idea behind the mix? And which is the track you wanted to play the most?

Every mix is creating a story. It usually begins slowly, gradually ascending to a peak before descending again in energy and mood. I wanted to create something triumphant. It’s hard to choose which track I wanted to play the most because it’s about the interconnection of the whole for me, but I was happy to include two of my own, Post Hallucination off my ‘Garden of Delight’ EP, and a new track soon to be released called Undiscovered Colour. I ended the mix with a live take of Kate Tempest’s Firesmoke, which is just pure and raw truth for me, and hopefully a little healing balm for the Yamba family at this time. 

// What did you want to portray with your 'Plant Poetry' mixtapes?

The concept of Plant Poetry is to imagine the energetic frequencies of plants through music and storytelling. Plants are a reminder of the basic ingredients for life - water, light, earth and air. They are also receptors of energy, and to my imagination, their language is one of sensitivity, beauty and the subtle joys of being. We cannot really talk about human history without talking about the (symbiotic) relationship we have with plants. So it’s about sharing that perspective, and getting back to the roots. 

// We noticed you have a very cinematic and poetic approach to your music and sets. Tell us a little bit about this process.

Thank you! Actually, watching movies and tv shows as a teenager was where I first started collecting music, and I remember how easily my emotions were manipulated by the soundtrack! I have a background in journalism making narrative important for me and I am a poet, so there is also something that is always trying to transform the mundane, and make life feel like it was a movie. Taking a walk with my headphones and just watching the different scenes of life pass by can easily do that for me.  I also love the concept of sonic cinema. Since music speaks to the subconscious mind, we can be listening to the same sound but it will touch us differently based on our personal experience - our traumas, sensitivities, fears, desires, and thus putting everyone in the movie of their own experience. Obviously, images are more literal and leave less for the imagination to interpret.

Yamcast #12 /w Lemonella

Pinerolo is a restaurant in Oslo. I was commissioned by the owners to compile and mix three mixtapes. Their directives were rather vague, lending me an opportunity to pick from any genre, not care too much about how commercial the tracks were and just create an eclectic but cohesive compilation that would contribute to the relaxed vibe at Pinerolo. This is what I did.

Nice and smooth compilation of tunes from me and my buddy Crussen which we did to a radioshow on Radionova..

3 QUESTIONS to LUIS ROSENBERG:

Q: Talking about your mix, your roots: how did these tracks have an impact on your later doings?

A: My father grew up in the 1960s and collected a lot of vinyls from this time. When I was young, he was often playing albums from Bob Dylan, Petty Smith, Frank Zappa, J.J. Cale etc. and translated the lyrics for me. I had to include at least one track of those artists because thats really where it all began. Following the tradition of my father I started to collect vinyls myself. In the beginning random things that had a nice cover and were pressed on vinyl and later on more hip hop and electronic stuff. I'm still listening to music from the 60s and 70s though and I guess this has some sort of an impact on my style. 

Q: Compared to the music you're now playing: would you still include one of these tracks in your current sets? 

A: The majority not, but some of them. When I prepared the set I found loads of cool tracks I have not listend to in ages. I'll definitely try to include them more often in future sets. 

Q: Which exciting Luis Rosenberg projects are coming this year?

A: I'm taking it a bit slower at the moment because I'm focusing on non-music related projects. However I am going to play at a couple of festivals and I'm especially looking forward to playing in Thailand for the first time later this year.

Finally made it to Garbicz Festival! What an experience, what a vibe and top it all off I was kindly invited by the wonderful @ssugark to mix for the lovely @hedone-berlin crew at the Sagrada Feminina. The crew made me feel immediately at ease and so I began with a downtempo'ish / groovy vibe and as the night progressed things got heavier, things got sweatier until I ended up topless because of the heat coming off the dance floor ! I had immense fun and could not help smile during all of my set! It was Thursday night 00:30 - 02:30 

A huge thank you again to Sugark and the Hedoné crew and all those who were there dancing their hearts out was truly magical! 

Until next year ;)

This mix is a special one - we’ve been collecting these tracks over the years, crafting a soundtrack for a place we love but that does not exist.

The space garden is a place of creation, where anything can happen! Enter this world with us as you’re enjoying a silly moment with friends or taking an adventure in nature. You might find a rainbow-colored monkey (or two), a rock band, or even some aliens visiting for the day. 

We hope you enjoy the trip <3

Up In The Space Garden - Summer 2020

A re-up of a classic rock set I did in 2011.  Soundcloud took it down because it identified the Lou Reed clip.  To get past security I put that sound at the start.
Enjoy.

Inspired by the African cassette tapes from my father, I started playing African Disco and Funk in Amsterdam in 2010. After traveling in different continents, I started experimenting with sounds from all over the world. Where I used to play a bit more uptempo, nowadays I am focussing on a deeper and more atmospheric sound. Blending different genres and tempos is something that is appealing to me. From Nigerian funk to Amazon tribe music, everything is possible.
