Wax & Wane: Donna Leake

We are delighted to welcome Donna Leake, another stalwart on the UK DJ scene to our next Wax & Wane session. "I has been DJing globally and hosting a monthly radio show on NTS for 9 years. It began with a love for music, dance and the exploration of sounds, spaces and experiences guided by an ever developing taste. I love and play many styles of music from different times, places and feelings. Influences and inspirations include but not limited to: traditional dance and folk from all over the world, jazz, percussion, hip hop, dancehall, reggae, dub, roots, bass, rap, psych, ritual, soundtrack and library music - sometimes I mix it up, sometimes not. In the last couple of years my focus has turned to playing much more bass music, particularly for club and later night sets. Still all Vinyl. Time, event, venue, surroundings, sound system and current feelings will determine whether a particular focus on genre, music styles and emotions structure the set or whether they’re all part of the ride. The mission is to create a space to feel, think and dance our way through the motions of life’s many moods together in unity, respect and freedom while giving thanks to music as a healer, teacher and an infinite portal!
