"Megan Leber, labeled as “the Queen of Restraint” by the modular community, is a Rotterdam (NL) based live performer, DJ and producer who is heavily relying on her intuition. Driven by curiosity and the need to be able to improvise, she uses her sampler on top of her DJ set to pull the dance floor into her world. Working with artists like Speedy J, Rødhåd and Colin Benders for STOOR and releasing tracks on vinyl next to Luke Slater and Ben Sims made her gain ground in the electronic music scene. Her live sets as well as her hybrid DJ sets range from deeper techno to faster techno and occasionally she’ll weave together an ambient set, making her an exceptionally versatile artist and definitely one to not quickly forget."
