Lilith

"There is an underlying order in this universe, which expresses itself in the form of numerical relations. This universal order is the basis of my music. I do this because I believe that when your music is based on this order, you can touch people in the most profound way." - Lilith, July 2011

Rising Dutch house and techno talent Lilith is showing herself to be as independent and as strong a force as her mythological namesake in today's tough musical climate. Born Caroline Arends, the Amsterdam resident takes her sobriquet from the woman who, in Jewish mythology, was said to be Adam's wife (move over Eve). She left her husband as she felt too constrained and subservient to him – and it's that same desire to be individual and different that drives this emerging start.

First embracing the art and science of DJing in 2004, Lilith spent 7 years as one half of Naald & Draad, developing a weighty, bullshit-free groovy tech house sound that won her and her partner-in-crime great acclaim across her native country and continent. 2010 was to be both the year they released their first record – the cheeky From Blossom Till Dawn on Daniel Sanchez's acclaimed Bla Bla Records – and the year they parted company. In the summer of 2010, Lilith was born as a solo DJ and producer. One with big ambitions.

Following on from playing at the best festivals her homeland NL has to offer (Mystery Land, Dance Valley, Welcome To The Future, Rockit Open Air) as well as world's most respected club mainstays like Watergate, Chalet Berlin, Stereo Montreal, Melkweg, Black Box Italy, Catwalk, Art of Dark London and more, she has held down a 2 year residency at Amsterdam's legendary bastion of all things underground, Studio 80 (2010 - 2012). She also plays a part in organizing the bi-monthly Warehouse parties at Rotterdam's Pakhuis, spreading the good word of house and techno across both of the country's major cities. Throughout the years, she's played alongside heroes of the scene, from Jeff Mills to Guy Gerber, Karotte to Tobi Neumann, Ripperton to Gregor Tresher, Kerri Chandler to Dennis Ferrer and many more. Lilith debuted her live act in July 2011 on the main stage at Have Nice Day festival to great acclaim.

Her first release as Lilith - Angel's Love on Monique Musique - has proved to be an even bigger success than she could have hoped for.. It pointed a finger to a very bright career in the studio, while her strengths and popularity as a DJ continue to blossom thanks to her harmonically-tailored mixing skills and exquisite track selection. In 2012 Lilith released a much anticipated and well-received "Master Codes EP" on Memoria Recordings, followed by a remix of Mike Montano's 'Copy vibe & Paste love' on Pins & Needles. Receiving ongoing support from the likes of Carlo Lio Gel Abril, Hernan Cattaneo, Andrew Grant, Andrea Oliva, Dennis Ferrer, Jerome Sydenham, Robert Dietz and more, Lilith divides her time between being locked up in the studio, working on her upcoming releases & gigging around the world.

Her most recent release on EDEC, Mercurius Retrograde (January 2013), her upcoming mini album on Art of Dark 'Lagrimas del Sol', a collaboration with David Gtronic, as wel as her EP on Moscow Records and the much anticipated EP release on Objektivity are but a few projects a 'busy bee' Lilith has in store for us in 2013. Fully immersed in creating and promoting the music she loves so passionately, this beautiful soul is here to stay.
