About Leah

‘A woman whose occupation is to spin participates in the whirling movement of creation.  She has chosen her Self, who defines her Self, by choice, neither in relation to children nor to men, who is Self-identified, is a Spinster, a whirling dervish, spinning in a new time/space.’

(Mary Daly, The Metaethics of Radical Feminism, 1978)

When Susan Macdonald left Brisbane for the UK in April 1993, she was planning to be abroad for a year and continue her career as journalist.  Six months later, she was playing piano in a five star hotel five nights a week, and serving customers at HMV Records during the day.  Then her life changed overnight - literally - at a techno club called Lost, New Year’s Eve, 1993.   After hearing Jeff Mills, she started buying records.  She threw her return ticket to Australia in the bin.

Within three years she had DJ'ed at clubs and festivals around Europe, but after marriage and divorce, she worked an office job for the next 15 years. It was not until 2011 that she finally took the leap to quit the corporate crush and return to the decks as Leah Floyeurs (an anagram of Heal Yourself).   

​

Since commencing in 2012 her two-hour show "Leah with Sound" on one of the first internet live streaming music stations, Timeline Music (now Electronic Convergence), she has played dozens of clubs and festivals in the UK and abroad.    

​

Leah's mission as a DJ is to create vinyl sets that encompass a wide range of electronic dance music genres, with selections heavily influenced by the 90's sounds of Detroit, Chicago and Berlin.  She enjoys the challenge of blending beats, textures and melodies to compose sets that are creative and inspirational.   She is resident at London's 50arc, Freerotation Festival in Wales and Dark Machine Funk in Manchester.
