DESIREE

A dynamic and vibrant selector from house mecca South Africa, DESIREE is a connoisseur, who is driven by a deep yearning to dig for electronica in its many forms, channelling her broad knowledge and passion into unforgettable performances.

Constantly driving forwards, DESIREE has graced the cover of DJ Mag North America, with the influential publication also naming her as their Future Star. She has also appeared on BBC Radio 1’s iconic Essential Mix series, recorded an epic Boiler Room set and picked up a residency with leading online radio broadcaster, Rinse FM. Her distinct sound has led to bookings at some of the world’s most influential clubs and festivals; DC-10, fabric, Glastonbury, Cercle, DGTL, Lost Village, and many more. DESIREE also runs her own MMINO party, cultivating a distinct ethos and community around her fledgling brand.

Though she champions the rich rhythmic SA sound, DESIREE prides herself on her eclectic tastes. From deep house to techno and more soulful cuts, it’s all in there. Production-wise, her debut EP, Femme Tech, landed on Jackie Queens’ Bae Electronica in June 2022. This was followed by reworks of ‘Pussy Power’ by Keinemusik (feat. Nomi Ruiz), ‘All I Need’ by LP Giobbi and an inspired remix of Salaelo Selota’s South African jazz classic, ‘Thrrr… Phaaa!’.

A formidable force, whose spirit embodies the soul and energy of her home nation, DESIREE is primed to keep soaring to the highest heights.
