Berlin-based live performer and Electronic DJ Semodi blends Progressive House and Techno with the catchy hooks of pop and the harmonic depth of classical music. In recent years, Semodi has released tracks with labels like Bonzai Progressive and Heimlich. Last year, his first EP ‘Next Summer’ was released under Thisbe Recordings alongside remixes by Nico Pusch, Melokind, and Theus Mago. Of late, the artist has been touring Germany’s electronic music festivals with his live-act Mojoy, namely Fusion, Katzensprung, Wilde Möhre. as a DJ, he has been playing sets at Berlin’s nightclubs Renate and Ritter Butzke.
Semodi’s remix is an edgy reinterpretation of MARIA Die RUHE’s original record ‘DANCE OR WE ARE LOST’. Having sprinkled techno tropes and layered syncopated hi-hats over a loop of MARIA’s infectious chorus lyric, the producer intensifies the quirky avant-garde undertone, using retro filters to push and pull her vocal across the mix while deep, thumping kicks hammer against crunchy basslines and harmonic plucks.
