About the author
Jerry is the name, online is my game. I'm a digital enthusiast, ranging from old skool gaming and Space Invaders to iPads and social media. The integration of digital elements in everyday life and art have my particular interest, and besides that I'm part time rockaholic.

A bi-weekly Monday mixtape from an Amsterdam-based DJ to kick-start your new week. Archive here.

Lola Villa is Bogotá born, Buenos Aires bred and Berlin grown – now being of musical menace to the Dutch capital. Her travels have brought her closer to both her Latin American roots and a borderless exploration of global sounds. When playing, Lola invokes landscapes, animals & rituals of her homeland Colombia – a country rich in Amazonian, Andean, Afro and Arab musical legacies. Her electronic sound is for that exact same reason a profound journey of melodies, a playground of rhythms going beyond genres and boundaries.

We welcome you to a voyage through the Amazon rainforest, the Caribbean, the Altipano, the Rocky Mountains and the Andes.

Sueño Americano (‘American Dream’) relates to not only that one America we know of, but to the entire continent of the Americas. This vast and far-reaching land knows of many dreams. For this podcast, she wanted to recall those dreams. We welcome you to a voyage through the Amazon rainforest, the Caribbean, the Altipano, the Rocky Mountains and the Andes. Expect musical connections between past and present, east and west, tropical and deep. An ongoing voyage with carefully crafted folkloric moves.

Lola Villa’s a new kid on the block, but already played a few times in both Amsterdam and Berlin. You can check her out, June 5 in Radion at the Slowmotion Club!
