There are a many ways to experience the world of electronic dance music – DJ, producer, promoter, punter. Brisbane all-rounder Leo Hede comfortably straddles all of these four elements, equally at home spinning tunes to 5pm or 3am dancefloors as he is working on his studio tan, watching the floor go wild at the renegade Kana outdoor parties he co-hosts or hugging a mate under a festival tent in the middle of an Underworld-inspired live dance music epiphany.
With club sets in Brisbane and sporadic outdoor sets at the Kana events that since humble beginnings in 2008 have become a Brisbane institution. Since joining founder Elliot Clarke at the helm, Leo has co-hosted Kana parties in parks, on and under bridges and in abandoned warehouse spaces in honour of dance music’s original acid house revolutionaries.
Whether DJing, promoting or again dabbling with production chances are you’ll see him by your side on a dancefloor sooner rather than later.
