Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to share some exciting news: my new album, "Toroidal Protocols," is ready for release! It's been a long time coming, and I'm so pleased to be releasing it on a limited series CD run.

"Toroidal Protocols" is a collection of nine tracks that explore the spaces between slow-paced psychedelic velvety soundscapes and haunting rhythmic textures. Subtle acid accents weave throughout, creating a hypnotic and immersive listening experience. This album is a reflection of my creative journey, and I hope it resonates with you. Thank you for listening.

Protocol nine

Status: Currently working on some tracks that were laying on the MPC 2500 CF card, some old downtempo stuff that I'm revisiting, working on the mixing and a few mastering tests, sounding good so far. The reality is that I have tons of unreleased tracks, like 3 albums ready to go, I will find the moment to look on those too if time allows. 
Thanks for your support and being here listening to my tunes, I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.

New, second, Behringer Rack completed! This one has the WASP, the CAT and my first Moog Clone, the Model D! My First Rack has the Proton, K2 and Neutron and has a ton of patching options!

Next Recording -- Lem Sessions Live x Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer Live - DJ since 1996 - Label started in 2022. Music Label run by a long-time DJ LEM, living on the West Coast diving deep into Music Production, especially the Live Performance kind. The Label is working on its First Single/EP/Album.

It's been a Minute, New Recordings coming! STUDIO 3.0 Photos Coming shortly. New VOLCA (#6) -- Volca Bass! New Synth (with issues) on sale from Amazon - [UNO SYNTH X PRO]... 128 presets room for 256. 

[PUSH 2] has been added to the proof-of-concept rig in my living room. This is running on Ableton Live 12, as they give you a second license activation with the Suite. [Donner Essential B1] is my 3rd 303 Unit - this one I bought because of a real good phat 303 sound and 128 pattern capacity plus it comes with a very decent delay.  [Arturia Keystep PRO] has arrived in the e-lemental.Music Studio... it was the last new unit in Vancouver and came at a hefty price for a MIDI Controller but I recon with the amount of Gear accumulated here, especially the semi-modulars, the Keystep Pro will be very useful tool indeed. Pictured here with the Beatstep Pro, one Sync Cable between them offers me control of 5 Melodic Sequencers and 2 Drums, or 6 Melodic and 1 Drum. This setup got me on fire and the Roland TR-8S is the perfect drum machine companion to these. 

[Arturia MiniBrute 2S] and [DrumBrute Impact] is my favorite setup for harsher sonic territories such as Industrial and Hard Techno, but far from limited to that. Please check out  my Track named "MURKY MEMORIES" to hear these two in action. Linked with a Sync cable they act as two parts of One Unit and sonically complimentary to one another. The Patch Bay on the 2S is very useful and the sequencer is very powerful and the reason I bought this one instead of the keyboard version.

[Ambient Zero] and [Korg Wavestate MK2] linked with a MIDI cable is my latest favorite setup for AMBIENT/DRONE Music. This will likely be paired up with other Units and Ableton Live's Drone Lab Instrument, which comes in at 8.6GB.

[Behringer Triple Rack] is finally done, Neutron was my first semi-modular analogue synth, followed by the Proton when it came out, and the MS-20 clone K2 came a few weeks ago from Poland to complete the rack. That means STUDIO v3.0 Photo shoot is coming! Will be done once the Live Rig (below) and the Rack are hooked up.

NXT RECORDING -- LIVE with no playlist so completely spontaneous ALL selected from my Vinyl/Vinyl Sourced Collection of Quality Tracks mixed with ROLAND TR-8S Drum Machine Beast with its 128 excellent drum kits and 128 Patterns. This is to celebrate the TIGHT SYNC between the TR-8S and Traktor using MIDI Clock and moving one step closer towards completely LIVE UNSCRIPTED Mixes with the Drum Machine Wonder.... I will call these types of mixes FRESH and with adding live drum patterns it becomes a LIVE PA MIX. NXT Dated Lem Sessions at 120BPM is right between the couch and the dancefloor. a mix of styles that sound good at that tempo.

2025 will mark the first Track Releases (not just DJ mixes) on e-lemental.Music label. Look for a First Single, then First EP leading to First Album. I am open to other Artists joining the label at some point, but not until those three things are realized.

The numbered DJ Mixes, my ultra-prepped, concept-based Mixes that I have been doing since Traktor 1.0 came out in the early 2000s. The lined-up mixes for this year are (numbers subject to change):
#50 - Platipus Records -- A Progressive Dream
#51-53 - Berlin's Triple Threat -- Basic Channel / Chain Reaction / Rhythm & Sound
#54 - Twisted FaeryTales IV - Title to be determined - downtempo/ambient
#55 - Taken, Too - based on Jeff Mills' Something in the Sky UFO Label releases - a proper sequel to a live Mix 'Taken' that is posted here
#56 - Studio 1 Releases contrasted with modern Minimalism - TRIPLE DECK MIX

*** I am DJ LEM and this is the Home of e-lemental.Music releases, a Music Label based in Richmond, BC, Canada and is releasing [DJ] Mixes, Singles, EPs, Albums and Live PAs as well as Videos and VJing -- the VJ Projector is now in the Studio.

'It's all about the Music, that feel good Music, that music that makes you sing, dance and feel it. 
Time is my enemy. I don't get anywhere near enough to sit an produce what I want in a day. Always something going on. At present i'am feelin the dusty deep house sounds on labels like Freerange, delusions of Granduer. Making and producing music when I can. Kit at present Ableton Live 12  with Novation Midi. Akai drum macines. Using apps like imaschine, Live pad. DJ'd since my belt driven decks in my youth. I listen to a Lot of different genres. And love digging 
for vinyl gems. Enjoying making  The underground sessions Radioshow's playing the best in Deep House,and producing when I can. Thanks for stopping by to check out the music. The downloads on the mix's are free.

Independent electronic ambient artist, crafting immersive soundscapes that blend atmosphere with deep exploration of texture and tone. My compositions are shaped by the active imagination described by C. G. Jung and the vivid landscapes of my dreams, translating emotions into evolving auditory experiences.
Influenced by ambient minimalism and deep bass tweaking with VCF filters, my music layers rich harmonics, resonant frequencies, and fluid transitions to create enveloping and transportive journeys.
