❤️‍🔥 TE3ShA ❤️‍🔥

With at least 5 years behind the decks, Christchurch based DJ TE3ShA has played clubs, parties and underground doofs all across Aotearoa 🎧

Drum & bass is at the heart of her sound, moving through dark rollers, minimal, jump-up, tech, jungle and bass heavy sounds, often layering vocals over dark, high energy selections. 🎶

While DnB is her foundation, she’s also been branching out into psytech, forest prog, techno, bass house and psychedelic sounds, learning to mix new styles and exploring where her musical journey takes her. 👽

The doof scene is where she feels most at home but anywhere she gets the chance to share her passion for music and watch people lose themselves on the dancefloor is her happy place. With plans to eventually produce and develop her own sound, TE3ShA is just getting started. 🥳🪩
