Miami's EDM Scene
Bonjour Miami! Or
as my Cuban Father would say, Que Bola?!
As promised, on the last article I wrote I said I’d talk about Miami’s EDM
scene but I did you one better. This week I interviewed an up-and-coming Icon
in the Miami Scene known better as “Lemony” From the “Miami Beat Wave”. Here’s
what he had to say!
Dj Alain:
Hey Billy! Or should I say Lemony from Miami
Beat Wave!! How’s your day going?
Lemony:
Lol, it's going quite well. Just eating some
Arebetters.
Dj Alain:
Sounds good! So the reason why I have been
trying to get in contact with you was to ask about your opinion on the EDM
scene here in Miami. How
would you describe it?
Lemony:
Powerful. My opinion on it, is the genre
itself is very inspiring in many ways. Not only do EDM festivals bring so many
positive people together, but it also changes lives. I've seen friends from
high school who were hard core gang bangers grow up to be hard core ravers who
wouldn't harm a soul now days. I feel like we all have very powerful voices in
the EDM community and in Miami especially instead of working against each
other, we should all wok with each other to express the power of our scene. The
issue is so many competitions all over Miami. EDM use to be earned, you use to
have to follow maps, and clues to get to a rave.. Now a days it seems as if you
can walk outside your house, and there will be a rave on your front lawn lol.
But the entire scene down here is great, I just wish we could all work
together.
Dj Alain:
How long have you been "djing" in
the Miami Club scene?
Lemony:
Well, I've been DJ'ing for coming on 3 years,
but prior to DJ'ing I was an extremely hard working promoter in the club/rave
scene. Mostly for underground raves.
Dj Alain:
Do you see yourself someday in the ranks of
other great DJ's in the EDM scene such as Tiesto, Deadmau5, etc.
Lemony:
I've worked hard for everything I
accomplished, and to be where I am today. I'm not famous, or internationally
known.. Far from it.. But... I am a strong believer in following your dreams,
and I will continue to do what I love, and that is to make music, and mix
records. If it happens, it happens.. Everything happens for a reason. One
thing's for sure.. I'll never stop doing what I love.. Till death do us part
Dj Alain:
Where could the people reading this if they
wanted to party find you out during the week? Any places where you will always
be at?
Lemony:
I hold bi weekly and weekly residencies at
Club Cinema, The Vagabond, and Mekka. Other than that you just have to follow
me on Facebook to get my up to date events. I'm constantly getting booked for
one time special events. Follow me on Facebook at Facebook.com/lemonysnicks
Dj Alain:
Anything you want to say to the readers before
we wrap this up?
Lemony:
We do this for you guys Miami, and if it
weren't for you all we would be nothing. We will continue to support our city
to the fullest, no matter where life takes us! -MiamiBeatWave
