“SEX FOR MONEY”: An Authentic DIY Snapshot into the Past, Present, and Future of Global Pop-Electronic, Goth-Punk-Alternative Cultures, and Beyond.

The head-turning name with the sound and depth to back it up; after a three year effort, the fourteen track collaborative voyage between Levitation Jones and Lemondoza cultivates into a self-titled album from their debut duo, “SEX FOR MONEY”. The first thing that can be noted about this release is the attention to detail while remaining rooted and confident in its punk attitude and minimalism, not relying on cheap gimmicks. Still a more defining and complete presentation, a bigger production ready for the bright lights, and an exotic but lively dancefloor experience in comparison to either of their solo projects, the grassroots hype and constant whispers on the underground have already brewed a lot of momentum for the pair.
Levitation Jones is, as ever, brash, a little abrasive, and—let’s be honest—delightfully annoying. But that’s exactly what makes him magnetic. A regular innovator while never getting caught in the rat-race, his big-picture mindset has often been executed tastefully but has never been about smoothing edges; it’s about turning those jagged bits into something raw and arresting. Love him or roll your eyes at him, he’s the kind of artist and entertainer who makes you feel something.
Lemondoza, on the other hand, is the concrete—a genuine musician and designer with an unshakable sense of self and a gift for translating the abstract into something that lands in your chest whether it is delivered via her voice, live instruments, her digital production, or on the visual end of her art. Not afraid to manipulate her product with an overload of effects or let the raw power breathe, the Eastern-European understands the task at hand every time. Her talent doesn’t need to announce itself; it hums through every note and grasps every eyeball, grounding the project in a soulful sincerity.

Filling out the back half of things on the album is a plethora of covers, remixes, and VIPs from the duo and special guests of the underground. A true delight whether you are familiar with the acts or discovering them for the first time.
Together, they’ve given us more than just a record. “SEX FOR MONEY” feels like a peek behind the curtain to authenticity in a world that is oversaturated with underwhelming, over-produced, and over-budgeted works. A truthful look at two established creative forces from significantly different backgrounds colliding and finding harmony. It’s messy, intimate, and legitimately beautiful—a treat for anyone who cares about what happens when the process itself becomes part of the art. The duo isn’t just playing with pop and bass music tropes; they’re setting them loose in dark corners of club and festival culture and it’s clear they were not afraid of judgement, instead favoring the right musical choices between their personal tastes and tapping into their personal experiences. The result? Fourteen tracks that aren't shy in any way, ranging between brutal honesty, tongue-in-cheek self-awareness, and oddly affecting vulnerability.

SEX FOR MONEY

If you haven’t called me 
Means I'm not gonna cry 
If my heart is free
I sleep better at night
If my inbox is empty 
Means there's no reason to fight 
And my music is not trendy 
It means I made it right 



You know what actually 

I will be alright 

Listeners make me happy 

If thoughts make me wanna die 



But I always think 

Without you and me 

Would I see the light    

Would I learn how to breathe

Lyrics:
Please turn vocals louder
Nobody wants to sit in the dark
Let people hear the sound
Wanna lose myself in the crowd

Losing track of time
And all my stuff
Wanna hang with you
It's never enough

Losing track of time
Losing track of time
Wanna hang with you
It's getting

So late, so late
Tonight you not with me
Can't articulate
How hard it is to fall asleep

Divide by two and three
That is why I drink
I knew that you can't
Dose off by yourself

So late, so late
Tonight you not with me
Can't articulate
How hard it is to fall asleep

Divide by two and three
That is why I drink
I knew that you can't
Dose off by yourself

Please turn vocals louder
Nobody wants to sit in the dark
Let people hear the sound
Wanna lose myself in the crowd

Losing track of time
And all my stuff
Wanna hang with you
It's never enough

Losing track of time
Losing track of time
Wanna hang with you
It's getting

So late, so late
Tonight you not with me
Can't articulate
How hard it is to fall asleep

Divide by two and three
That is why I drink
I knew that you can't
Dose off by yourself

So late, so late
Tonight you not with me
Can't articulate
How hard it is to fall asleep

Divide by two and three
That is why I drink
I knew that you can't
Dose off by yourself

SEX FOR MONEY Album Highlight Mixtape

Track Five: “Lana Del Rey” — A Moody, Ambiguous, Subtly Captivating Meeting of 90’s Rave Music and Post-Rock in the Bass World

“Lana Del Rey” is the album’s curveball—which isn’t about Lana so much as it feels like her—moody, ambiguous, subtly captivating. An abstract dancefloor love song that never fully says what it means, but you feel it anyway. It’s perhaps about longing, missing someone so much the moment turns from idea into forced reality. The lyricism stays elusive, which makes it hit harder—because sometimes the feelings you can’t name are the ones that stick.

Musically, it’s a rare gem. The basslines unfold in three distinct sections, each one a subtle reinvention of the last—truly chef’s kiss stuff for anyone paying attention. And right in the middle comes an unexpected post-rock breakdown, stretching the track beyond its bass roots and hinting at something deeper in their sonic DNA.

There are shades of darkwave and coldwave woven through, but it’s still kinetic—music you can jump around to and be sad to, like a blurry midpoint between the former, modern DIY pop, and 90’s rave music. “Lana Del Rey” shows that bass music doesn’t have to be formulaic; it can brood, it can expand, and it can still move you—literally and emotionally.

Lyrics:
There's so much distance between us
Fly to me, yes
If I leave you, it would be
For a week or less

Broken glass
So much mess
Injected feelings
In my veins

Cute bugs
In my head
Crawling, eating
My brain

You occupy all my thoughts
Lana Del Rey in my headphones
My pupils dilate when I see you
I live when touching your skin

You occupy all my thoughts
These drugs don't make me nervous
We stayed again until sunrise
I love that we have the same taste

Track Three: “Wonder Girl” — A Bubblegum Apocalypse You Can Dance To

“Wonder Girl” is bubblegum pop, sure, but not the lazy kind you can dismiss. This is bouncy, hyper-saturated, anime-opening-theme-core—an E-girl dance anthem disguised as a candy-colored sugar rush. It sounds like pixelated hearts exploding in midair, which is to say: it absolutely slaps if you aren’t afraid of the color pink.

Lyrically, it’s deceptively sharp. It’s about a guy who just doesn’t get it—she’s toxic, predatory even, and if he lets her, she’ll keep feeding on his naivety. It’s fun until you realize how sinister it is, which makes it even more fun. There’s that undeniable European pop influence from Lemonoza’s world, but spliced with punk sneer, hyperpop chaos, drum & bass energy, and even some halftime breakdowns that crash in like unexpected mood (hip) swings.

The result? A track that shouldn’t work—but does. It’s ridiculous in all the right ways, stitched together with such intention that the absurdity becomes part of its brilliance. “Wonder Girl” isn’t just a song; it’s a glitter-coated trap you’ll happily fall into again and again.

Lyrics:
Sharpening my knife for you
What the fuck you gonna do
Your friends hate me as they should
Baby, I don't want you, is it rude

Delete my number, can't you see
Your problem now is me
Wonder girl, now I'm here
You can't get enough of me

Wait a second. You're so sad
I really didn't have to hurt your heart so bad
I don't really care why you're mad
Let this thing between us come to an end

Love the pain
Turn off your brain
You tried so hard
To get through

You like when it is forbidden
You don't like to hear the truth

Sharpening my knife for you
What the fuck you gonna do
Your friends hate me as they should
Baby, I don't want you, is it rude

Delete my number, can't you see
Your problem now is me
Wonder girl, now I'm here
You can't get enough of me

Wait a second. You're so sad
I really didn't have to hurt your heart so bad
I don't really care why you're mad
Let this thing between us come to an end

Love the pain
Turn off your brain
You tried so hard
To get through

You like when it is forbidden
You don't like to hear the truth

What the fuck you gonna do

Track One: “SEX FOR MONEY” A Quick Look Inside

Opening the album, we are immediately dropped deep into the creative process between Levitation Jones and Lemondoza. Clearly exhausted but pushing through for the final product, it’s refreshing to see artists not worried about showing themselves at their less-than-perfect moments. An intro, but worth the engagement to set the mood for the full journey you’re about to take.

Track Eleven: “Lana Del Rey (Lemonoza Frenchcore VIP)” — Unhinged, Unapologetic, Unmissable

If there were any doubts about Lemonoza’s European roots, the Frenchcore VIP of “Lana Del Rey” smashes them with a sledgehammer—and a strobe-lit freight train of hardstyle catharsis that somehow still makes sense here. This isn’t just a remix; it’s unhinged Lemonoza behavior at its most glorious, a detour that feels like crashing headfirst into a rave in some forgotten warehouse on the outskirts of town.

And yet… it’s surprisingly tasteful. Big, satisfying sidechain payoffs give it shape and keep it from spiraling into chaos, turning what could have been sheer indulgence into something refined enough to stand tall in the album’s middle stretch. It’s shocking but pleasant—an unexpected burst of adrenaline that somehow fits perfectly in context.
You can mean-mug through the whole thing, rage until your teeth rattle, and still find yourself grinning at how much of her personality bleeds through. It’s a quick trip to a place you didn’t know you needed to visit—but once you’re there, you won’t want to leave.

Track Fourteen: “Spinnin’ (Levitation Jones Beat VIP)” — A Closing Statement Disguised as a Teaser

“SEX FOR MONEY” closes not with a bang, but with a slow burn. “Spinnin’”, the Levitation Jones Beat VIP, feels like a whispered promise of what’s coming next. It’s elbow-flexing and fist-pumping in its minimalism, yet heavy with a kind of depressive gravity—an echo of $uicideboys at their most restrained. It’s a track you feel more than you move to, though you can almost hear the ghosts of a dozen different rap flows haunting its structure, waiting to be born.

And here’s the twist: this isn’t the final form. This is only the VIP. The “real” version—the one that belongs to the next chapter of this duo’s evolution—lurks somewhere in the future, tucked away for the sophomore album. It’s a bold, almost cheeky move, closing a debut record with a prequel, but it works.

As an ending, LJ’s VIP of “Spinnin’” fades out with no real conclusion, avoiding tying the story up in a neat bow—it leaves the door cracked, the air buzzing with what’s still to come. It’s slightly frustrating, it’s exciting, and it’s exactly how a debut like this should end.

Track Thirteen: “consume my flesh (Frozen Turtle Remix)” — Future Bass in the Shadows

Just when you think “SEX FOR MONEY” must start to lose steam at some point, track thirteen neutralizes any doubts and pulls you in once again. The Frozen Turtle remix of “consume my flesh” is a big gift to the album—a future bass rework that refuses to play by the genre’s usual lighthearted rules.

Instead of the sparkly optimism that defined that 2015-era trap-banger sound, Reed drags it a bit into the shadows, giving it weight, grime, and a sense of purpose. It’s drenched in nostalgia but not trapped in it—timeless in the way only a producer who really understands the assignment can make it.

It hits hard enough to satisfy the most stubborn bass heads but still feels psychedelic and fluid, the kind of track you could lose yourself in on a perfect acid trip. More importantly, it reminds you why you’re here: 13 tracks deep, still locked in, still along for the ride. By this point, you’re not just listening to “SEX FOR MONEY”—you’re a fan.

Track Seven: “Long, Long Time” — A Quiet Heavyweight

“Long, Long Time” is easy to overlook at first—but give it space, and it reveals itself as one of the strongest cuts on the record. As the final collaboration between Lemondoza and Levitation Jones on “SEX FOR MONEY”, it feels like a parting statement, understated but deeply intentional.

Built on a drum & bass backbone, the track surprises with halftime trap breakdowns that feel less like genre exercises and more like fully-formed ideas. It’s generous with its subweight—thick and delicious, a body-moving low end that hums beneath the surface—yet somehow it still feels featherlight. This thing rides. And those chopped-and-reversed vocal loops? They’ve already been echoing at shows, with fans mouthing along even the reversed parts, pretending to know the song like the lyrics have been out for years.

Levitation Jones channels his inner Rick Rubin here via Reaper, arranging Lemondoza’s production with surgical restraint, while Lemonoza’s Ableton expertise fuels the machine. It’s the sound of two artists trusting the process—swapping stems, bouncing ideas across DAWs, letting the song tell them what it wants to be. The last track to make the cut for the album, “Long, Long Time” earns its place—not with flash, but with taste.

Lyrics:
Love for you is forever
I don't know how to measure
You are the perfection
Have a lot of fans, but I'm special

They say good imagination
They don't know our connection
At night I touch myself
And think you are with me, is it obsession

I saw you on stage and said hey
I listen to your music everyday
I dream about you and I will follow you
Until you'll be mine

For a long, long time
Something inside
The song sparked life
And now I smile, I feel alive

Track Eight: “Trendy (Lemondoza Piano Cover)” — Lemon Stripped Bare

By track eight, SEX FOR MONEY does something brave: it slows down and hands us “Trendy” all over again—this time as a stripped piano piece, reimagined by Lemonoza herself. It’s more than just a classical cover; it’s like she’s peeling back the neon sheen of track four to reveal the raw skeleton beneath.

Her vocals here are unvarnished, unguarded—a reminder that while Lemon can drown in effects or twist her voice into something alien, she doesn’t need to. She’s been performing and absorbing music most of her life, and that lifelong fluency shows. This is a different kind of flex: a classically-influenced reinterpretation that still feels defiantly modern, existing in that sweet spot where centuries-old technique meets bedroom-pop nerve.

For an album built on heavy bass, subweight, and electronic textures, this could’ve been jarring. Instead, it feels perfectly placed—an interlude that breathes, that lets the project’s center of gravity shift for a moment. It’s tasteful, bold, and exactly where it needs to be, proving they don’t necessarily need low-end to devastate.

Lyrics:
If you haven't called me
Means I'm not gonna cry
If my heart is free
I sleep better at night

If my inbox is empty
Means there's no reason to fight
And my music is not trendy
It means I made it right

You know what actually
I will be alright
Listeners make me happy
If thoughts make me wanna die

But I always think
Without you and me
Would I see the light
Would I learn how to breathe

Track Ten: “Wonder Girl (Haven Woods Remix)” — Skateboard on Fire in Miami

The tenth track on “SEX FOR MONEY” takes us back to “Wonder Girl,” but Haven Woods doesn’t just remix it—he detonates it. What was once bouncy bubblegum becomes a blistering cocktail of jungle, breaks, and hyperpop, the kind of track that makes you feel like you’re riding a skateboard on fire down a neon-lit Miami strip at 2 a.m.

Palm trees blur. Sweat drips. It’s pure summertime delirium. Haven Woods, an Orlando native whose name has been bubbling up in all the right circles, uses this remix to prove he’s not just participating in the scene—he’s expanding it. He chops up Lemonoza’s candy-coated vocal lines until they feel like sparks, then lets them ride over breakbeats that completely modernizes an older style of music while still remaining tasteful to the biggest snob.

Track Twelve: “consume my flesh (The_Texture Remix)” — Liquid DnB Chaos in a Minimalist Suit

By track twelve, “SEX FOR MONEY” dips into enigma territory with Texture’s remix of “consume my flesh”. The_Texture is one of those names you hear whispered in producer circles, more myth than man—and this being his first drum & bass track only makes it more impressive. You’d never guess it, though. This one holds its own against the heavyweights.

It lives in that perfect minimalist pocket: groovy enough to keep bodies moving, restrained enough to feel intentional, but with just enough distortion and punk grit from the original to keep it dangerous. There’s a smooth, liquid undercurrent here, but it still packs the kind of raw energy that makes you want to get reckless on the dance floor.

As a fresh take on the duo’s first single, it’s shockingly competitive with the other remixes scattered across the album. The_Texture doesn’t fail to impress with his take on “consume my flesh” at all—he reimagines it, making it as ready for a dark warehouse set as it is for your headphones.
