On this episode of The Felix Sama Podcast, I sit down with Joy from Lime for a real conversation about dance music, legacy, survival, and the songs that kept generations on the dance floor.
We talk about the legacy of Lime, the power of classics like Your Love and Babe We’re Gonna Love Tonight, what disco means today, how the music business has changed, and why real dance music still connects with people across every generation.

We also get into something every artist needs to hear in 2026.
I gave Joy some one-on-one coaching on how artists should promote themselves today, build their brand, use content, connect with fans, stay visible, and create new opportunities instead of waiting for the industry to call.

This conversation is more than nostalgia.
It is about music history.
It is about reinvention.
It is about ownership.
It is about artists learning how to stay relevant in a new music economy.
If you love disco, freestyle, classic dance music, club culture, artist development, or the stories behind the songs, this episode is for You.
