Whether causing chaos on a Boiler Room or soundtracking an old warship in Amsterdam, @hollylester has had an attention-grabbing ascent into dance music.

Originally hailing from rural Northern Ireland, she’s been busy carving her niche in the world of house and techno since emerging from England’s north-west dance scene midway through the last decade.  

It was as a DJ where she first rose to prominence, regularly playing for institutions Shine and Chibuku Shake Shake before a residency at the Warehouse Project beckoned.  To date, she's shared stages with the likes of Motor City Drum Ensemble, Optimo, Joy Orbison and Paul Woolford. 

The dancefloors she's commanded have included familiar names such as Printworks, XOYO, Wilde Renate and IPSE. Her knack for pursuing more exciting projects has seen her play in an array of unique locations across Europe.  These include an abandoned bowling alley in Baku, a forest off Ireland’s east coast and an ancient wine factory in Tbilisi, all sashaying to Lester's inimitable sounds.

This natural talent for sharing the music she loves naturally lent itself well to radio. As well as appearances on BBC radio, she was one of the founding residents of Manchester station Limbo.  Free from the confinements of the dancefloor, Holly explores ambient, jungle, downtempo Balearic cuts and more, alongside new and unreleased music from around the world.

A natural progression in her evolution as music curator was of course to begin her own record label. Launched in 2020, Duality Trax is inspired by the idea that two contrasting energies or emotions can exist simultaneously in the same space, bringing about a natural symbiosis and balance. This happy collision of opposing forces is the mission statement for the imprint, with a strong desire to represent balance and inclusivity across each release.

Where did you record this mix and what did you have in mind while recording it?
"Recorded this mix at home after a long day at work. What I miss the most is small, dark & sweaty club. With that in mind I have tried to make a compilation of tracks which would fit to a trippy club-night. "

How would you describe your sound in general?
"Warm lush sounds."

What are you looking forward to the most this year?
"Being able to dance again in a club:)"
