Cutting her teeth in the legendary clubs of northern England and her native Belfast, Holly Lester has carved an identity rooted in deep and emotive house music, with subtle nods to the ravey influences of her youth. An alumni of AVA Festival’s acclaimed Emerging DJ Program, Holly has risen to become one of Ireland’s most in-demand selectors, performing at lauded events including Warehouse Project, Love International, Fabric, FLY Open Air, and beyond. Renowned for her blend of house, breaks, and UK-influenced club sounds, she’s earned support from radio heavyweights BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM, and NTS, and contributed mixes for leading platforms like Mixmag and Resident Advisor.

Holly’s curatorial prowess extends beyond the booth: in 2020, she launched Duality Trax, a label championing forward-thinking music with an emphasis on inclusivity and environmental sustainability. The imprint has quickly garnered acclaim for showcasing emerging and established talents from the underground. Holly’s own productions thread together her diverse inspirations—her debut single “Generate” and follow-up releases have found favor in the record bags of Ben UFO, Sally C, and many more.

Splitting her time between the UK and Ireland, Holly continues to shape her scene through her dedication to music, community, and creative innovation—further cementing her status as a vital force in contemporary club culture.
