02.10.2021

Here's my late night set from a beautiful family feel gathering organised by the crew from Beyond. 

This was the last hurrah after a series of parties they did this summer, transforming an open lot into a cosy and safe dance floor dream. A very special vibe (all the way into the after, after hours) indeed. 

thanks for having me!

Lemonella @ Schallplatte closing | Berlin 2021

The next release, scheduled for 24 November 2021, is the result of a long artistic reflection based on the dreams of Alexander Coetzee, alias LEEU, DJ and producer from Johannesburg, South Africa.

The album Dream Control is an introspective musical masterpiece about the universal mystery that every human being lives through, their dreams. To those moments when you cannot decide if it is infact a dream or reality and the freedom one feels when lucid dreaming. Divided into 3 chapters, this album approaches by a first EP the paradoxical dream, then by second EP the waking dream and finally by a complete reading through an album to be released on March 1, 2022. 

For this first chapter, LEEU was surrounded by artists from South Africa including Lemonella, a poetess with a melancholy and acidulous tone, Lover Buffet, a committed genre visual artist and poet living in Berlin, and Thor Rixon, a multiinstrumentalist, producer and actor from Cape Town.

Ep. 3 'I know I've been changed'

a live segment of storytelling presented by Lemonella on @RadioAlhara, every first Monday of the month. 9PM Berlin time / 10pm Bethlehem time.

We dance inside this creative web
we let ourselves fall all the way into its soft feather bed
and pulling curiously at any open thread,
we tie strings into crowns to sit atop our heads

We sculpt our lives out of love and clay
and open our minds to the delights of play
We craft our kingdom from colours and dreams 
and tell stories of where the human spirit has been

we build wings to carry our imagination 
and hurl our visions to the sky
we watch them form into great castles 
reflected in our eyes. 

In this month's episode I read the 'create' card of the Poesis deck and from New Zealander poet Hera Lindsay Bird. Featuring music from producers Joaquín Cornejo, Dave Echo and Jolasol; drifting ambiences from Perlemor and Four Hands; a gospel piece from LaShun Pace, and a broken love ballad from songstress AL.ANI.

Love & Leisure Airwaves Ep. 3

The moment has come for us to release our first compilation into the World, we have gathered some of our most beloved artists together and they have created a journey guided by tracks that express the beautiful motions of humanness.

Ep 5. 'whatever left these husks flew off on bright wings'

Tune into this weeks exotic laments and celebrations from around the world; music through the ages from Thailand, Argentina, Greece, France, South Africa and outer space.

Love & Leisure Airwaves Ep. 5

Ep 6. 'the shape of my desire'

This week swims through the electronic waves that have touched me over the ages. Moving between wobbly dub atmospheres and emotional vocal sedgeways to playful patterns that flirt with Reverie's sweet realm. Listen out for the sounds of South African producers, including the new track 'Honey,'  co-produced with Leeu. Closing this episode with the voice of essayist/novelist Anaïs Nin as she reflects on the question of 'why one writes.'

Love & Leisure Airwaves Ep. 6

Ep. 7 'how to start a fire once the umbers cease to glow' 

Welcome to the last episode of this exploratory season, giving way to a period of radio silence from me as the upcoming months of touring approach.

This week is full of haunting female vocals; a convergence of electronic, ambient and acoustic. There's poetry by Leonard Cohen and Kae Tempest & some of my own rough ambient takes. So light a candle in the dark, give a howl-out to the milky moon and move toward the elemental.

Featuring artists like Secret Act, Alabaster dePlume, Vincent Gericke, Ada, Dope Lemon, Melanie De Biasio, an early Devendra Banhart, Steve Bug, Degrees of Freedom, Sshellesh, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, the Caretaker & more.

thanks for being here, and thanks to @RadioAlhara for the airwaves.  All episodes for DL soon.

Love & Leisure Airwaves Ep. 7

Here is my set from the first hours of Monday morning at Panne Eichel/ Bachstelzen. The energy of those moments was totally electric, something I'll cherish forever. 

Thank you to the Bachstelzen crew, Fusion Festival, the artists and all the ravers. Also to the dear @BillyCaso for his mastering skills.

thank you for the funny, dubby, underwatery love-bubble odyssey.

since a bit of linear time has passed, I was undecided whether or not to post this mix. It began slowly, strangely, even confusingly... but from that point it was about digging out of the literal and metaphorical mud, and find the way flying. Looking back, I loved it all... this time spent in Crazy Paradise, where I needed to hold on and let go at the same time. There were the crazy dancers, one of whom accidentally pulled the plug with some serious moves but somehow became the perfect addition to the journey. Then came the rain that didn't relent for days, where many people left and many wonderful artists didn't get to play. So to all the messiness of the X year Garbicz, 
reflected here. 

Here are some key lyrical phrases.. 

we must be careful or we will never be free / cucoo! / choice / before i realise just how high i am / with a mind more resilient / i’m a survivor / i listen more than i talk / love is an opening / that’s the way i like my freaks / in heaven / there is sufficient credible evidence / that day i will always remember

Happy birthday Mira

thank you for having me play at your legendary party, for being an inspiration to so many & all your efforts to champion women in this crazy corner of an industry.

Here is my closing set in the Acid Bogen on Monday afternoon. 

May music uplift us and intwine us, may loving frequency reach us, may the energy of dance unstick us, may our daily actions bring love and healing to this hurting world. May we stay hand in hand.

PREMIERE: HOVR – My Warrior feat. Lemonella [ 3000Grad ]

I’m very happy to share with you a mix made for my dearest friend Aurelia and her new project Playgrounded; 'for explorers of aliveness'

The mix touches just a fractal of the (sub)consciousness within the infinite maze of reality. While there are endless possibilities, they all arise from a common source; we all arise from a common source. Now is the perfect time to remember what makes us human, our shared essence beyond any reason, race and religion. 

A collage of sounds, lucid thoughts and vibrations form the earliest origins of our communication and attempts to forge connection. music, before words, is our primary and universal language, the language of intuition and emotion. This hour is a deep trip into the textures of human feeling and our driving curiosity to reach beyond ourselves. 

It mix was presented as part of the Playgrounded installation at Château Perché Festival in June 2024.

∞ I'm happy to share the recording of my set from Sunday afternoon at the Lichtung area ∞

Music is communication from the heart. Weaved together, it wants to tell you a story about life, dreams, loss, and love; about the beauty and wisdom of this earth and its ancient cultures, and about visions of interplanetary consciousness. In the end, it all makes you feel uplifted. 

thanks to the colourful listeners and dancers for being there, the beautiful Lichtung crew for having me and all the music makers who add new dimensions to this life ♥

love letter on a paper napkin
folded & addressed to

the snow coming to cover this town
the city lights 
the constant candle 
the oldest fear 
the nighttime sway 
the echoes god creates 
the bees & 
the oom sha la 
the rare feeling
the little dreamer
the sour milk
the sun on our shoulders
the perfect days with you

I had a sweet time playing a Friday noon set at die Tankstelle floor at Zeitraum Festival in Leipzig. From birdsongs to gospel-tech, and always with love.

'hmmm' is the live ambient project of myself and @harrycharles. We performed it for the first time this year - along with a DJ set - on Sunday morning at the Ambient Floor at Garbicz. 

Poetry & music written by @lemonella & @harrycharles, produced by Harry, and featuring @cesarbmusic on trombone. The lyrics in the final poem of the live set are taken from the late American folk musician, Jackson C. Frank.

hmmm @ Ambient Floor - Garbicz Festival 2019

it was a beautiful moment for me to be with you all, both on the dance floor and in frequency for the first weekend of 2☯2☯. 

Wishing you love, courage, alignment, a lot of care and *this peripheral fun fact* for the cycles ahead:

"cats purr during both inhalation and exhalation with a consistent pattern and frequency between 25 and 150hz. Investigators have shown that sound frequencies in this range can improve bone density and promote healing."

The third episode in the mix series entitled Plant Poetry /

It’s 2020 and planet earth is undergoing a new wave of fear and confusion. As the humans battle through the paradox of connected isolation, the plants are prompted to root into a deeper level of communication with the forces that govern outer space. Becoming even sharper receptors of energetic information and spreading their life-loving spores, the plant kingdoms have formed a coalition with the galaxies. Together they devise to transmit love more efficiently, generate greater clarity-infused oxygen and continue to carry water, sunlight and healing through their underground networks so that it can be absorbed by all the lifeforms who feel lost among the stars.

Plant Poetry Vol. III

'The Garden of Delight' is a journey of reclamation. It is about tuning into the intelligence of the natural world with wild reverence. It is a new mythology. We live the stories we tell; so we let go of what is outdated and rigid and create new narratives that will seduce a more nurturing, loving and integrated earth into being.

Post Hallucination

The fourth episode in the mix series entitled Plant Poetry / 

dear plants, poets and pirates! a message seeded from the seabeds and underwater forests has been floating on the ocean's surface, and the wind has carried it to our shores and dance floors: 


“the times are not for the faint hearted - 
you are supposed to be alive!"
so sail the tides! 
make it a joy ride!” 



It's time to dive deeper into ourselves, exploring our inner depths, giving up some of our outer addictions, desires and comforts that might be causing damage to ourselves and other creatures we share this beautiful planet with. Maybe there are some old artefacts from the past that need to excavated, restored, released. Don't worry, we'll learn to breathe underwater. We’ll learn to become like seaweed, flexible to the currents of life, and make it look like we're dancing. 


"swim into your depths!
find the inner treasure!
come back and share it 
with the world!"


Atop the ocean surface, things seem choppy and chaotic. Riding the waves is sometimes fun and thrilling, and other times treacherous and terrifying. As we recount the joys and sorrows of the ocean, we notice it's a wheel that never stops turning. Maybe we can travel deep enough to touch our own inner stillness, the great aquatic wonderland, the holy peace; that timeless, weightless, oceanic feeling, where the sunlight pierces through, casting a shimmering jig of light and colour.


"dive in! swim around, 
let yourself get upside down!"

Lemonella
