Lemonella is a Berlin based DJ, producer and poet from South Africa.

Growing up in a country of vast contrast shaped her eclectic taste and a sensitivity for music as a vessel for storytelling and therapeutic exploration.

As a teenager she was influenced by early hip hop, her father’s record collection and the folk counterculture, shaping her first mixtapes. She was introduced to the electronic underground as a teen - instantly hooked on the freedom of the dance floor and its power to connect and unify beyond societal hierarchies.

Lemonella’s creative language is diverse yet distinctive - her love of nature and spirit are always evident in her sound, which mixes a variety of influences from techno, minimal and house, her sets reflect an ever-evolving dance floor sound carried over long-form, hypnotic, ethereal and rolling grooves. She is seasoned in creating both sweaty nights dreamy ambient days, having a knack for elegantly balancing polarities of lightness with depth.

Her first EP ‘Garden of Delight’ is a poetic mediation on nature and feminine mythology. She is also the creator of the radio series ‘Plant Poetry’ and ‘Love & Leisure Airwaves’.

Lemonella has toured clubs and festivals around Europe, the Americas and South Africa, including Frankhan Selectist (Istanbul) Wilderburg (NL) Giegling x MBR (São Paulo) Fusion Festival (DE), Watergate, Renante, Kater (BER), Garbicz (PL) l’bord du l’eau (CH), Château Perche (FR), Labyrintho (CR) Rùmu (PT) & Wolfkop Weekender (CT).
