Individualist – Lakydoe Bit (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, The Latest, World Music|Tags: , , , , |

“The slowly building rhythmic intro develops into an irresistible deep Afro House beat with a solid kick as the foundation to a multi layered euphonic collection of acoustic & electronic instruments, that are hit, shaken, scraped, strummed, blown or otherwise coerced into joining in the fun. The vocals are delightful, enhancing the whole vibe in a wonderful way.”

Individualist is an Afro-acoustic, deep house production duo based in Halle (Saale), Germany. Comprising Wayne from South Africa and Rob from Canada, the duo met by chance in front of the latter’s studio and decided to make electronic music together, before evolving into a proper live group and production duo. Their music is characterised by colourful, swinging house beats with deep roaring basses, earthy acoustic instruments and glitchy sonic landscapes - a culmination of Wayne’s deep roots in South African house music and Rob’s background in music studies and passion for raw analogue sounds. The beats and bass are created on an analog synth, while the guitars, keys, harmonica and vocals are recorded live, resulting in raw and honest house music with a decidedly indie aesthetic and a sound that is uniquely their own. Prolific producers, the duo have released dozens of tracks on various labels in Germany, England, Singapore, Dubai, Switzerland and the USA, including remixes from the likes of FKA Mash, ChronicalDeep, Gumz and Tahir Jones.

“Beats and work with samples are beyond praise, the texts contain everyday philosophical reflections, but their presentation is short, and most importantly - correct in meaning. Professionalism in writing lyrics is felt even by an inexperienced ear.”

“Биты и работа с сэмплами выше всяких похвал, в текстах прослеживаются обыденные философские размышления, но их подача краткая, а главное – правильная по смыслу. Профессионализм в написании лирики чувствуется даже неопытным слухом.”

Elvis Vierbergen (ThisIsLema) is an international DJ/Producer born in Congo in 1993. At the age of 2, Elvis got adopted by a Dutch family and has lived in The Netherlands ever since. The name ThisIsLema has an important background story for Elvis which is also the reason he decided to use this as his artist name. As Elvis got adopted, together with his sister, she (at the age of 2) kept saying ‘’Lema’’ after the adoption. As his adoption parents assumed, he then must have been named Lema. However, at a later age they found out Lema was actually the name of their father and Elvis was his real name. As a respect to his ancestry he quickly decided that ThisIsLema would be the name to go by.
