"Bewekedi" in my mother tongue means "sunrise", it is the name of my mother and it symbolises hope for a better day.

The 5th of August last, I made my debut in Pianoland, Amsterdam. Giving me the freedom to bring a more ethereal yet punchy afro house sound that evening, I'm sharing with you this 1h30 recording. It oscillates between dreaming voices paired with strong drums and snares, to the rhythms of tribal claps.

The sounds that shaped my first year as Wes Lee! The combination of deep ancestral and futuristic sounds that span across a multitude of genre's was something I could not find... This inspired me to do it myself! Get to know me in these 90 minutes.

The undisputed queen of Amapiano - more commonly known as Unruly Phoenix - is Parallel's fourth Terra resident. Inspired by the greats and on track to become one herself, few are so effortlessly navigating the electronic music scene in the Netherlands. 

The Suriname-born, Rotterdam-based DJ seamlessly blends spiritual and party Amapiano, Afro tech & Gqom. Aside from appearing on nearly every Afrolectic party in the Netherlands, she's also making waves abroad with shows in Berlin, Mexico, Belgium, Luxemburg, Ibiza, and Switzerland. When she's not behind the decks, Unruly Phoenix finds herself regularly in the studio, producing Amapiano anthems such as 'Voices of Egypt,' 'S’yabuya,' and 'Izinhlanhla Zami'. She is unrivalled and will bring her infectious upbeat, positive and liberating energy to Terra.

Feel My Bicep Mixtape 132 | Philou Louzolo

La mélodie des sentiments.

Rooted in my Cameroonian-French upbringing, I have tried to dive into various styles I learned to love over the time, from Deep-house to Electronic beats while packing on Afro-house rhythms. Each set I have created until now marks a vital point in my growth with the sole purpose of conveying my feelings through my very own style of emotional instinctive selection.
