Awakenings Podcast S356 - Lola Cerise

"For this Awakenings set, I crafted a journey through the roots and evolution of my sound. Expect a raw blend of old school techno, tribal rhythms, and industrial textures—echoes from my early days at illegal raves and warehouse parties. Woven together with modern cuts, unreleased tracks of mine, and a touch of psychedelia—my signature—this mix bridges past and present with relentless intention".

She played the piano but confesses her rebellious side lead her to do her own thing, where during her teenage years became a regular at many illegal raves where she discovered acid core, tribal and tribe core genres. When she was a teenager, she openly talks about her mother’s battle with depression over her parents’ divorce, a situation which has deeply created her necessity for a hardworking attitude, along with never needing to depend on anyone but herself to achieve her goals. At 18, she initially moved to Lyon to study art and made the decision to learn photography as a profession, dropped out of university and became a part time model to help pay for her studies. After some years studying photography, she decided to move to Australia for 3 years, where she started to get back into raving. It was there Lola started to play around with DJ’ing, progressing to producing within a year and soon realised that she needed to move to a new city, Paris in 2022. Lola’s music is a reflection of all of these experiences, sometimes its fast and intense, other times more emotive and complex, but always tells a story. She has released on Gomboc Records, Comme des les films, Khazad Records and Record Union, supported already by Indira Paganotto, I Hate Models and Cera Khin, she also has landed a slot as a resident at the legendary Gotec Club, whilst starting her own label First Date Without Panties, alongside key streams with HÖR Berlin, and BCCO. She announces her debut in 2025, with an 8 track mini LP on ARTCORE, a big milestone and the start of an exciting new journey.
