Earlier in May, electronic artist and producer TOKiMONSTA released her remix of “Golden Years” by David Bowie. The song was created as part of a trio of new Bowie remixes for a Peloton celebration of Bowie’s legacy and enduring influence around his 75th birthday in 2022. TOKiMONSTA, aka Jennifer Lee, is an accomplished Grammy-nominated Los Angeles based producer and DJ, who has collaborated with artists such as Anderson .Paak, and has remixed tracks for Beck, Duran Duran, Disclosure, Sia and worked on the Netflix series ‘Squid Games’. Of Bowie, TOKiMONSTA stated “To me, I connect with Bowie as an amazing innovator. He was always reinventing himself and pushing the envelope of music, while somehow never ceasing to be authentically himself. His experimental fashion choices are always a beacon for me to challenge my style and look.” TOKiMONSTA will be quite busy in 2023 with performances at numerous festivals and select dates but will also be touring with Odesza this fall on their ‘The Last Goodbye’ Tour throughout the U.S.
TOKiMONSTA spoke with B-Sides host Pete Mar about performing at Lightning in A Bottle 2023, why it’s her favorite festival to perform at, recent new music and future plans
