Lemons Always Zest is a mysterious and emerging, 24 year-old New York-based bedroom producer. Inspired by the city’s queer rave scene, the mysterious and emerging New York based producer creates dance music as part of a ritual of processing difficult emotions on the dance floor.
Last August, Lemons Always Zest released “Can’t be the End,” as well as an unofficial remix to Britney Spears’ 2007 hit “Break the Ice.” Building upon a growing profile, the New York-based producer released the five-track EP L.A.Z 1, which featured lead single “don’t lie to me” earlier this month.
The EP’s latest single “i need more” is a euphoric, deep house-like, instrumental club banger anchored by skittering beats and glistening synth arpeggios that seems to subtly channel Larry Levan and Octo Octa.
“This song grapples with being entranced in euphoria while realizing that this feeling is fleeting,” the New York- based producer explains. “Inspired by long disco instrumentals that felt relentless in their pursuit of pleasure, it starts & ends abruptly to entice the listener before pulling the rug out from under. The ending was inspired by Tinashe’s ‘Gravity,’ with the beat switch further digging the listener into a hole they can’t escape from.”
