Jungle Stage
~Donna Leake~
I’ve been DJing globally and hosting a monthly radio show on NTS for over 9 years and 3 different weekly shows on ROVR for the last 2 years.
It began with a love for music, dance and the exploration of sounds, spaces and experiences guided by an ever developing ear. .
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, UK bass, psych, ritual, soundtrack and library music - sometimes I mix it up, sometimes not.
Although I predominantly still play eclectic sets, in the last few years, particularly for club and later night sets, I’ve been exploring and playing more electronic music. Mainly still in the bass music world - dub, dubstep, jungle, grime, and some experimental percussive sounds. 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 tell a story with the music 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 portal.
