We met Leese at Listen Festival in Brussels. We were already playing her tunes on YUKU for some time, but it was her Live show that really throw us off our seats. We went to giver props after the show and our vibes just clicked. “—Hey, we saw your gig, and it was amazing! We danced our legs of!”, we said. “—Yeah! I saw you!”, she said with a smile. That’s all it takes.

Leese is a Brussels-based producer and DJ who’s been getting buzz for her sound - rooted in Bass Music and pulling percussive influences from breakbeat and tribal. “Aasma” draws from Drum & Bass, fast Electro and Deconstructed Club. 3 intense tracks of fast broken beats with vocal samples and sprinkles of melody.

“Aziza” starts with a jackhammer-like rhythm over a half-step beat, before a wailing siren and sprinkles of Baile Funk vocals take over. “Sarma” has a more subdued and hypnotic feel that builds into a rush of trance-y synths. On “Astrakka”, Leese collaborates with Ravl to produce a 145 BPM banger, with heavy rolling kicks and metallic percussion.

“This EP feels a little special. Slowly but surely, I’m finding my way back to more melodic, more “musical” vibes, and that’s the spirit that shaped this project. It also marks my second collaboration with my friend RAVL—a creative connection that keeps evolving and surprising me.”
