| Harry Lemon aka LEMON8 has been at the forefront of dance music both
as a DJ and producer, whilst producing a soundtrack of a generation at
the same time. Model8 - his first ever produced track - is now being
recognized as a landmark in techno and minimal.
As such it earned
itself a re-release on Richie Hawtin's Plus8 after 14 years,
acknowleding Harry as on of the godfathers of minimal techno. Throughout
the years his music is known for bridging gaps and crossing boundaries
between genres and is being played from an amazing array of dj's like
Danny Tenaglia, Tiesto, Danny Howells, Armin van Buuren, Richie Hawtin
and Sasha just to name a few.
Today, Lemon8 is widely recognized as a major influence in Electronic Dance Music. Following
the second progressive wave, late 1999, he managed to create an almost
entirely instant recognisable genre within a genre with a formidable
output of quality tracks and remixes. The 'Inner Sanctuary Sessions'
album, consisting solely of Lemon8 productions, proved the fact that
he's not only an outstanding producer, but an excellent DJ as well.
It
even won him the 'Cool Award' in 2003 for Best Album as voted by Cool
Magazine readers in South America where he came out on top beating John
Digweed, Satoshi Tomiie and even Coldplay. Today the album is being
regarded as a true classic and still very much sought after the world
over. As a DJ he became a household name, playing the most
influential clubs and festivals worldwide including Amnesia, Spundae,
Ministry Of Sound, Pasha, Nature One, Dance Valley, Mansion and God's
Kitchen.
His eclectic approach towards quality dance music is best
appreciated during his sets. Lemon8 gigs are almost everywhere sell out
events and often turn into 8 hours of dance floor bliss creating a vast
amount of dedicated fans throughout the world. . In 2004 his
Bandung Records was the first label to join Armada Music. Focusing on
quality rather then quantity, releases have been sparse but very
succesful, gaining a loyal fanbase worldwide. At present, the new
'Disco Demon Series', are claiming rave reviews both by press and
collegues, regardless of style.
Meanwhile, his new '8-track mind'
radio show is getting great accolades worldwide, again leaping
boundaries and showcasing what the 'Lemon8 Seal Of Quality' is all
