Playlist of the Week: Leena Punks
Leena Punks
Hey, Leena Punks here! Currently, I’m writing this on my way to Ibiza to play at Amnesia, and I can’t help but reflect on how wild 2025 has been so far. From my Amnesia residency with Ben Hemsley and Kettama, to festival sets at Luminosity, B4L, Anjuna, Brooklyn Mirage, and Concourse Project, it’s been nonstop production, DJing, and traveling – zero time for anything else, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Touring like this is intense, but music makes it all worth it, and I’m so grateful to live this life doing what I love.
I’m really happy to be sharing this Beatport playlist of the week, showcasing new music from me and other artists that inspire me. This selection includes my latest release Mokshe with Darren Tate on Anjunabeats, some current favorites, and tracks that I’ve been loving for a while. It’s a blend of progressive house, melodic techno, breaks and indie dance – exactly the kind of music you’d hear from me in both club and festival settings. So turn it up, press play, and let this playlist take you somewhere unexpected.
This one started from a hindi vocal I discovered that inspired me to write a breaks track that I uploaded online. Darren reached out and we kept working and testing it out before we released it to the world in early September. Huge thanks for all the support so far!
Kasablanca never miss with their futuristic sound design – "Audio Machina" is a driving, euphoric cut that bridges emotion and peak-time energy seamlessly. I’m a huge fan of their production and their live sets are on another level honestly.
Genix always delivers and "Rave Digger" with MC Lethal is no exception – pure fire for the dance floor. I'm also a huge fan of the breaks. I listened to this for the first time at Brooklyn Mirage in May. Excited to share that I’ve got a track with Genix and the House Gospel Choir coming soon on Anjunabeats.
Mat Zo’s productions are always on another level – "Wounded" is raw, emotional, and hits with that perfect mix of beauty and intensity. This track is amazing and puts you instantly in a trance.
Deep, hypnotic, and euphoric – "Come Alive" is one of those tracks that lifts the room instantly.
I came across this one recently while digging for new music to play. I haven’t had the chance to spin it yet, but I can’t wait to drop it. Beyer and Avantgarde take you deep – dark, cinematic, and built for those 5 am moments.
Massive fan of Glowal’s latest EP – every track is unreal, and it was tough to pick just one. "Level of Love" is a proper standout for me. It’s so emotional and a bit melancholic but has those driving drums that keep the energy. Big fan!
Township Rebellion played at my last Hestea event at E1 and absolutely tore it up. I’m a huge fan of their fusion of indie dance and melodic techno – "Rainbow Serpent" is pure magic. There’s so many other tracks that I love to be honest. Everything they touch is fire.
I came across Paradoks a few years ago and have been a massive fan since. Again quite tough to choose only one track but this collab with Adam Sellouk is pure uplift with "Cloud 9" – melodic, powerful, and guaranteed to take the crowd higher.
Sam is on another level – one of the best DJs I’ve seen live and such a brilliant producer. His remix of The Chemical Brothers’ "Do It Again" is just massive.
Olga is a brilliant DJ and an absolute sweetheart. Her remix of "Say Hello" takes the classic Deep Dish energy and flips it into something fresh and hypnotic. It’s one of those tracks that you know will create a hands in the air moment.
