Introduce yourself? Preferred pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 1 fun fact about yourself? 

hi! Leesh here. they/them. currently living in Chicago. one fun fact about me? ich lerne Deutsch und ich liebe es so <3

How is everything going with you right now?

oh you knowww. Life! it’s a Trip isn’t it? emerging butterfly energy lately. changing my ways and riding the waves, doing what i can, loving more, taking care, digging deeper. emotional as ever and learning more about listening deeper, to myself, others, sounds and messages. 

Any fun predictions for 2021?

i predict 2021 will continue to be a blossoming year. 

How did you get your dj name?

Leesh is a nickname family and friends have been calling me for as long as i can remember. when i was trying to decide what DJ name to choose back then, a mentor told me that my name will be “chosen for me”. at the time i was going through such a massive self-discovery, so while doing that through sound i really wanted a name that wasn’t just ~my name~ but still really fit my energy. one that felt very much like “me” but also didn’t feel too mysterious, so when at a club or a Rave or whatever and someone says “Leesh” there’s already this personal connection there. always feels like a friend already and it makes me happy! 

What change do we need in the dance scene post pandemic?

harm reduction ~ i have felt strongly about this topic during my entire Rave life, but even more so now post-pandemic. the sudden change of life that we all have experienced through 2020 i’m sure helped many of us see even deeper into some of our patterns (healthy & unhealthy) and how to be even more careful than we maybe already were. it definitely did for me. of course there have always been initiatives and organizations that have been doing their part to help build dancefloors from a harm reduction / social justice lens. but post-pandemic i think this energy needs to be utilized *fully* at *all* of the Raves. yes, let’s totally play together as psychonauts in the very fun pool we all know so well, but let’s do it safely. let’s gather up all the supplies and ingredients to take better care of each other and of ourselves. Rave is mindfulness, connection, community, insight, passion unfolding. and if we aren’t completely taking care of one another (and ourselves), then what is it? sustainability is key and health is important. DIY baby!  
What is your most recent favorite DJ mix and why?

over the weekend, listened to Closet Yi’s Crack mix in the car on a much-needed, first trip out of Chicago and into nature in a very long time. so beautiful.
 
Describe your favorite thing to drink and how it makes you feel?

i really, really love beverages. so this is hard to choose. so here are 3 that you’ll *always* find in my cooler: 
water: seriously. i love it so much and it feels ecstatic. anytime, anywhere, always. H20 for LIFE.
prosecco: makes me feel exactly as it is ~ bubbly and crisp and bright. 
Cool Blue Gatorade: it makes me feel like a cute, sweet bursting juicy blue raspberry. i love that this fantasy fruit doesn’t even exist. how silly. 

Why do you think it's important to share music?

DJs, friends, and family have literally changed my entire life by sharing music. and when i’ve been lucky enough to figure out what *that track* was when i had a ~moment~, it’s so much more than a track. it’s a piece of experience. we share, we care. 

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

more DIY raving, always. and if we’re in the clubs, venues that aren’t compromising values for the sake of capitalism, racism or harmful societal norms. it’s not good for anyone.
