DONNA LEAKE

Dive into Donna Leake's ever developing taste, drawing sounds from all over the globe and all over the clock including jazz, reggae and psych.

Good luck explaining the contemporary pop, hip hop and R&B landscape without Odd Future. Many of its current trends – colourful, jazz inflected production, a focus on collectives and collaborative scenes, free genre experimentation and cross pollination, were all channelled through a crew of LA school kids, skateboarders and their friends at the dawn of the 2010s. Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, The Internet, and numerous acts and artists who have orbited the now defunct label of Odd Future represent a dominance of modern US popular music that is tough to truly calculate. We sift through their influence and pick out some of their most important music.

Soundtrack

Since the early days of chiptune and primitive midi tracks, the fluttering arpeggios of the harp have been a go-to sound in video games when depicting the dreamy, the calm, and the divine – this Otaku features an hour of harp-led covers of video game soundtracks.
