As 2022 comes to a close, I have to confess that I feel the most positive and excited about the future than I've felt in...well, maybe ever. It was one of the most challenging years of my life, but I feel like I've come out on the other side. I don't just see the light at the end of the tunnel, I feel like I'm coming out of the tunnel itself, ready to meet 2023 with excitement and a lot of enthusiasm. I thank my friends, my community, my tribe and a lot of love directed at me for all of it. 

This music reflects that sense of optimism for me. It's based more on traditional house than what I usually spin, but the songs on this mix just kind of came to me. Where I usually labor over a mix...this one just flowed. One take. Less agonizing. More flow. 

And with all that said, I wish for all of you listening a 2023 of beauty, love, growth, great sex, friendship, and community...of challenges met squarely and successfully...and of course, ridiculously great music and dancing.

Much Love,
LAZAR

Fangtasia: A Vampire Soirée 10/28/23 DJ Set

Originally hailing from Northern California, SOWELU transported to the Los Angeles area in 1991 and was introduced to the LA Underground music scene almost immediately. Over the past 30 years she has spent most of her young adult life, dancing in a warehouse or underneath the desert stars as her recreational past time. She discovered an environment that cultivated a spiritual union with the music, which seemed to evolve at a rate, faster than any musical genre ever had! It was here that she was able to maintain a connection with her love for music by expressing herself through ritualistic dancing. In March of 2004, she decided DJing was the next step in her effort to express herself with music. By July of that same year, she had put together her first tech-house mix and landed a residency at a bi-monthly event in Hollywood, called Residence. Over the last 17 years she has played in venues all over North America, alongside some of the biggest names to come out of the Electronic Dance Music era. She has been featured on numerous radio shows and podcasts, and in January of 2012 joined the HouseWreckaz Radio crew as a rotating Host.  
Although her predominant genre is and always has been Tech House, her style can fluctuate from Dub Step to Rock to Minimal Techno to Hip Hop.  Known for her “story telling” mixes, blending melodic vocals and heavy hitting bass lines, with a touch of her own spiritual energy, she’s definitely a force to be reckoned with. So sit back and listen, as she takes you through an electronic musical journey with the track selection placed so that vocals tell the story, corresponding to the title.
