DUDJ presents: Holly Lester

Lineup Holly Lester DUDJ Residents DUDJ are delighted to host the wonderful Holly Lester for our first party of the year at Yamamori Tengu. Originally hailing from rural Northern Ireland, Holly Lester has been busy carving her niche in the world of house and techno since emerging from England’s north-west dance scene at the start of the last decade. Holly first rose to prominence regularly playing for institutions Shine, Chibuku Shake Shake and The Warehouse Project, and has since gone on to command dancefloors in cities as far as Baku and Tbilisi, ticking off European destinations like Berlin, Amsterdam and Prague along the way. A permanent fixture for AVA festival, she recorded her infamous Boiler Room there in 2018; that moment would lead to DJ Mag and The Guardian citing her as a star on the rise, the latter likening her to fellow compatriots Bicep. While it's a flattering comparison, Lester's sound is all her own. Raw analogue jams rub shoulders with dreamy trance tinged melodies and swirling breakbeats, constantly driven by the distinct percussive energy that has become her trademark. With a penchant for the sounds of yesteryear, expect to hear early French house slammers and forgotten Detroit classics interlaced with her unique approach to modern-day house music. DUDJ residents will be on support duties, getting your hips moving from the word go! This is not one to miss. See you all on the dance floor!
