Evolving in a world of analogue aesthetics, he was able to make his mark by sharing the turntables with names like Andrès, DJ Assault and Baltra. Definitely intrigued by the diversity of electronic music, his appearances perfectly blend energy and depth.
Leëf is from the far north of France, on the Belgian border. Yet, she is also from the Dominican Republic, since her family relocated 12 years ago. While she currently lives in Montréal, the city she calls home, her arresting musical taste is as global as her background and perspective.
Unbothered by genres, tempos, eras and places, the music Leëf loves and plays as a DJ is simply unconfined. Admittedly, high-spirited emotions in music and grooves galore hit close to home for her. Nonetheless, the finesse of her ears always extends its welcome to the tougher and the more challenging moods alike.
Following her debuts at clubs such as Newspeak, Le Salon Daomé and Pelicano, she is a regular booking for various local crews including Inner Circle Montréal, DTD Records and Kizi Garden Records. As Montréal’s dance community continues to flourish, the same one that adopted her as an early dancer,you can expect to catch her more around the city this summer, whether it is on a dancefloor, a terrace or an even an outdoor stage.
