DJ SHARE (Sharon Pieksma) is never far from a dance floor, always on the go bouncing between gigs and festivals.

But we managed to steal a few minutes with her! In this super quick catch-up, we threw a few fun questions her way to get to know the woman behind the decks.

Can you tell us a bit about your musical journey? Did you start out in the organic house direction, or has your style evolved over time?
Actually, I started out playing deep tech and minimal. That was the sound that first got me booked at clubs in Rotterdam where I’m from, and across the Netherlands. One of the biggest turning points for me was Burning Man. It completely changed how I connect to music. The experience there opened me up to more organic sounds, deeper, more emotive, more layered, and that’s when my style really started to evolve in that direction.

What’s funny is that I’ve recently started mixing some of that older deep tech and minimal music back into my current sets, which has been a fun full-circle moment.

Which of your own produced tracks has a special meaning to you?
A track that’s particularly close to my heart is “Moon.” It stands out from my other productions because it has a deeper, more introspective feel. The whole process was super organic, because I wasn’t overthinking it, it just flowed. I even used my own voice in the track, which made it feel really intimate and honest. The message, “reach for the light, reach for the moon,” is simple but powerful.

What’s the longest set you’ve ever played and how long did it end up being?
That would be a 16-hour set I played at a private event in Moscow, definitely the longest I’ve ever done! It wasn’t planned at all… I think I was originally meant to play maybe four to six hours. But the vibe was just so good, the energy kept flowing, and I somehow ended up behind the decks for a full 16 hours.

It turned into a real journey, not just for the crowd, but for me too. I went through so many different styles and moods, I’m pretty sure I played through my entire USB, including some deep tech tracks from way back in the day. It was intense, but also so much fun.

And yes, there were definitely a few moments where I’d put on a long track, run off to grab a bite, or even just walk around and soak in the energy before jumping back into the mix. It was wild… but in the best way.

If you were forced somehow to switch jobs and not be a DJ anymore, what do you think you’d be doing instead?

Wow, that’s a tough one. I feel so deeply connected to music, it’s hard to imagine doing anything else. Music makes me genuinely happy. I listen to it and dig for new tracks literally every day, so I think I’d still stay close to it somehow.

Maybe I’d become a guitarist and focus more on live music… or I’d dive more into organising retreats. I really love the idea of creating meaningful, mindful experiences for people, though I see that more as a passion than a full-time job. Either way, it would have to be something that feeds the soul.

If you were kidnapped and locked in a room with just one song playing on repeat, which one would you want it to be?

What a scenario! But okay, if I had to choose, I’d probably go with something calming and timeless. I don’t always listen to electronic music; I really love more downtempo, dreamy stuff that helps me unwind or gets me inspired.

Something by Thievery Corporation would be high on the list. Their blend of mellow, reggae-influenced sounds always feels full of love and light. But if I had to pick just one track… I think it would be “Porcelain” by Moby. It’s been with me for so long, and I never get tired of it. It has this beautiful calming effect, slowing my mind down in the best way. I could definitely survive on that one.
