Hailing from Finland, LUMI's debut release, “Look The Other Way,” charted at #3 on Beatport’s Indie Dance charts. With her quick rise, we put her to task on our quick-fire Q&A.
As cliche as it may be, it truly saved my life, and it can change my mood from a bad one to a good one in an instant.
Probably biohacking.
Decrease the time between thought and action, and you will be more productive than 90% of people.
Weird art. The feeling of awe in nature. Waterfalls.
Being sober at the club.
Club Space in Miami. It’s the best for a reason.
Working as a nurse assistant at a hospital.
When I feel like my entire brain is on fire.
My current job in tech. I’ve known for a while that I’m ready to give it up because focusing on anything and doing any task feels like pulling teeth!
Tiger Stripes - Sneaking Hot Dogs Into People’s Pockets. I f**king love that track and the name too.
Go out and become part of the culture and scene, start an event, meet people, and support them.
I’ve only released two EPs, and thank god I’m not falling out of love with them yet!
Fantastic Fungi.
The Almanack of Naval Ravikant has really good advice for life, happiness, etc. But Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being as well as “The War on Art” is another good one for aspiring artists.
Looking into someone’s eyes at dinner and not at your phone.
Being backstage.
Pepperoncinis, iced matcha, and reformer pilates.
Warm sunny days, iconic outfits, and dancing in public.
Not starting sooner.
An assistant tbh.
The first one I played was a disaster, to be honest, and the venue shut down the following week.
Depends on who, but rich most likely.
Track selection and variety.
Body Language - MANDY, Booka Shade.
Yoga, sound bowls, reading, a good meal, time with family and friends
Serum -, let's be real. It has an easy-to-use interface and many options you can easily explore when customizing certain sounds and waveforms.
Art.
Messi.
Inside a hyperbaric oxygen tank.
Village Revival Records in NYC.
Entitlement.
Kompakt Extra. I love the versatility. They are very selective, and the music is never cookie-cutter—actually, quite the opposite.
Ironically, the vast number of possibilities and options sometimes makes me want to do it all; the need to narrow it down can sometimes be the hardest part.
If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.
Seth Troxler - WMC 2010 ‘Bats’ video on the DJ Mag YouTube.
Get the basics right first and focus on simplicity; overcomplicating the melody or too many crazy FX will just confuse the listener and make the track sound like sh*t.
Once you do that, you can add your signature sounds that make your music yours, like a cool vocal, a specific style of drums, a certain kind of snare, etc. Being unique is the best thing you can do, don’t go cookie-cutter and follow the same pattern everyone else is doing. Don’t be afraid to stand out.
...little kid that wants the newest Webkinz or Tamagotchi.
That no one really knows what they are doing, including me, at that time.
Sound can change vibrations and frequencies, which can resonate in your body in different ways and alter your mood, feelings, and emotions. So, yes.
Set & Setting by Goom Gum on TrueSoul record label.
Leave this world with no regrets is my biggest motto. The worst that can happen is you get a no, but dying with the regret of never trying will be worse.
