Following her 2024 release A Little Strange / Activate, Donna-Marie is back on IbogaTech with a stunning new two-track EP, Awaken / Astral.
With her signature blend of moody yet uplifting melodies and techy basslines, Donna continues to push her sound into deeper, more immersive territory. Awaken is a hypnotic, groove-driven cut layered with evolving synth textures and an undercurrent of emotional tension. On the flip, Astral explores a more cosmic and minimal path—subtle, atmospheric, and rhythmically entrancing.
Based in Auckland, New Zealand, Donna-Marie—also known as Donna Birt—has built a reputation for delivering dynamic, genre-blending productions that balance energy with emotional resonance. A veteran of the London underground scene, she’s graced the decks at legendary venues including Brixton Academy, Egg, and Ministry of Sound, before taking her sound global with tours through South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S.
Now firmly rooted in New Zealand, Donna’s current sound reflects her journey: matured, refined, and instinctively crafted for both the mind and the dancefloor. Awaken / Astral is another powerful statement from an artist who knows how to move a crowd—physically and emotionally.
