Mousai Mix #045 - Liz Somes [Seattle] by Mousai published on 2023-07-19T17:44:29Z For the LA-born, Seattle-based DJ @lizsomesofficial music has been a lifelong love, but her journey to techno DJ took a more circuitous route. Working as a radio broadcaster for rock stations, she was encouraged to try mixing instead of just playing songs from a friend. The moment she successfully mixed two tracks together, she fell in love with the creative freedom and possibilities of being able to express herself on a completely different level. “I felt like I came home.” Initially drawn to the more melodic corners of dance music, once she heard the pounding beats of underground techno, she threw herself into it with passion and determination. Like most DJs, making her own music was the logical next step in her progression. For someone who believes deeply in art as self expression, it’s unsurprising that her output is less about genre specifics than channeling emotions into sound. A listen to her discography under the her former moniker of Demah on labels like Pure Dope Digital, SMR Underground, White Line Music and recently with on Mastoid, Mona Records, Harte Musik, she shows a range from dark and banging to melodic and uplifting techno, while her releases on UM Records Uniting Souls are a much deeper, housier fare. No matter the mood, Liz's productions reflect her emotional connection to music, laying her heart out for people to hear. With a former radio show on Fnoob, a recent mix for Minimal Detroit, streaming appearances for Detroit’s beloved Charivari, sets at multiple Pacific Northwest clubs including Seattle’s beloved Kremwork - Timbre Room, and Monkey Loft, and with more record releases to come, it’s obvious how much Liz is driven to play and create music. She is proving with every move that it’s not how long you’ve been doing it, it’s how much love you put into it. I hope you enjoy this pummeling techno Mousai Mix! Music is Medicine! 𓂀 ~ Mousai Collective 𓂀Listen to Mousai Collective Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6tLkD4IQNj0jNkZxqONF1j?si=92953a78a64a4c79 𓂀 IG: @mousai_collective Genre Techno Comment by DJ DEEP NOISE dark stuff 2023-08-03T09:55:29Z Comment by DJ DEEP NOISE great mix 2023-08-03T09:53:46Z Comment by DJ DEEP NOISE good stuff suporte 2023-08-03T09:53:09Z Comment by DJ DEEP NOISE great souds 2023-08-03T09:52:45Z Comment by Constanza Pucheta Fantastic!! :D 2023-07-21T19:47:01Z Comment by Liz Somes Thank you so much for having me! ♥ 2023-07-21T17:42:47Z
