Reeshy is a proper northern lass - grew up in Middlesbrough and now lives in Leeds. She learnt to mix vinyl when her now 13 old daughter was in bed , 10 years ago. 
Reeshy plays and loves everything from Disco to Soul to UK Garage to Techno and spends hours digging and going back through her music rediscovering stuff that she forgot she ever had.
She plays round Leeds and Manchester at all sorts of parties and loves an after party set. 
This mix was done in her kitchen on her technics with her cats as my audience. One jumped on the mixer halfway thru. 
The mix summarises Reeshy’s personality and style as a DJ and she’s she knows pretty much straight away if she likes a tune or not by whether it makes her pull a bass face.
Favourite selectors are; Truly Madly , Joe Delon, Binh, Lutz , Evan Baggs and Wendy.
