Holly Lester’s Duality Trax Label has quickly become synonymous for its blend of future facing sonics and mind-warping melodies, served together with a healthy dose of nostalgia. A label just as focused on making dancefloor destroyers as it is exploring left-leaning, personal projects, it’s within this duality where the label has found its success, never afraid to shy away from b side oddities or tracks edging more towards good-old-fashioned-fun.

DUALITY5 steers towards the latter, with Manchester based DJ & producer Aiden Francis providing the serotonin on tap with three lively dancefloor cuts, including a huge remix from Italy’s Matisa. Aiden had a big 2022, releasing music on Magic Carpet, Gestalt and beloved music platform and label Houseum, solidifying himself as one to watch in the euphoric unity of house, trance and techno.

Title track ‘Plastic Fantasy’ is the star of the show, a suitably sassy roller that places everyone's favorite blonde icon front left of the speakers. Subtle old school strings contrast with alien electronics, providing familiarity in an otherwise unfamiliar world. A bubble-gum vocal then rolls in cheekily over a driving bassline and dynamic percussion  - used in a way I’m not sure the original creators had in mind. ‘Future Proof’ meanwhile demonstrates Aidens’ knack for contemporary progressive house music. With warm pads, swirling sonic textures and moments of blissful euphoria, it’s energetic enough to move a dancefloor, but gentle enough for home listening too.

The record comes to a close with ‘Aquamarine’, with Aiden opting in favour of free flowing breakbeats and mind expanding synths, together radiating a feeling of warmth and hope for days to come. Italian DJ and producer Matisa is on hand to round the EP off with a bass-heavy rendition of ‘Plastic Fantasy’ a no-holds-barred speed garage licked stomper, with the power to lure smokers back inside the club with their feet firmly planted on the dancefloor.

Sourcing influences from 90s Tech, house, trance and breaks Aiden Francis' pure passion for underground electronic music radiates through his music and DJ sets.

"Semi Delicious boss Demi Riquísimo has launched a new sub-label ‘A Lifetime On The Hips’. The label has a simple mantra; no frills club cuts designed for the dancefloor. London based trio Inner Zone contribute the fourth rhythm of LOTH’s debut outing with ‘The Vision’. A menacing beat that twists and turns for a peak time, dopamine inducing trip."

From four corners of Earth, four artists transcended borders and united as digital entities to form our next release. ⚡🧚‍♀️🔮
Overflowing with frequencies, Aiden Francis & Cybernet get us moving with 2 club-ready tracks. With a nod to 90s progressive house and trance, we are taken towards a meditative state with their signature individual sounds, spinning us back in time. Chug keeps the room moving, while Cybnet's takes us towards a peak-time slot. Digging deeper, Laars and Maze complete the EP with 2 gorgeous tracks. Densely layered, undulating rolling adventures, taking us more in the direction of mind-altering deep house. 🎲 @aidenfrancis @neptunediscs
