German live act Lake People is making his US debut this week, with a tour through three cities: Miami, New York, and Detroit. He is fresh off the release of his most recent notable remixes of Nico Stojan’s “After the Hour” and Kollektiv Turmstrasse’s “Ordinary.” Lake People has also released productions under the alias Llewellyn, such as the remix of “Fews” by Panthera Krause. His work has been supported by the likes of Dixon, head honcho of Innervisions and Jozif, who was recently asked to compile a "Balance Presents" mix. Hailing from Leipzig, there is little to be found about the enigmatic figure we know as Lake People. Besides his alias Llewellyn, he can sometimes be found collaborating with Powel under the name Lake Powel. Some rough researching tells us that Lake People's career only a few years ago in 2010 and his first name may be Martin, but of that we are still not completely sure of.
But never mind the man, what's important is his music. Ambient and melodic, Lake People's is a deviation from the heavier sounds of house, into an exploration of electronic music's lighter side, giving the 4/4 beat room to breathe. Rather eclectic in style in his sets, Lake People varies from more classic house to electronica, making it an evening of musical exploration to tickle our brains with new sound waves. Check out one of his previous sets below.
This Thursday, August 8th, Bespoke Musik and Sub-Motus will team up to present Lake People alongside German DJ LUX at the Electric Pickle in Miami. Sub-Motus resident Baez will be opening at the Miami show.
The US tour continues the following night on Friday, August 9th at a secret location in Brooklyn presented by Bespoke Musik. Lake People will be joined by Tigerskin in a live set alongside resident Rami Deejay and special guest LUX. Be sure to get your tickets on Pulse Radio!
Thursday, August 15th at the Grasshopper Underground in Detroit marks the third and final US date for Lake People. Detroit local Aboudi Issa will provide support for the event presented by BuddhaGroove and Grasshopper.
