Career
Lester first started to beat-match at age 14, while growing up in County Armagh. Lester has gone on to achieve wider recognition, playing sets across Europe, and in Australia and Indonesia. In 2019 Amy Fielding of DJ Magazine called Lester "one of Northern Irelands' most exciting selectors". She was also nominated for a DJ Mag award in 2021 in the Underground Hero category. Lester has been featured on BBC Radio a number of times, including performing mixes in both 2021 and 2022. Her sound has been described by Resident Advisor as "raw analogue jams" that "rub shoulders with dreamy trance tinged melodies and swirling breakbeats". In 2023 Duality released the follow-up compilation, "Visions Vol. 2", with all proceeds aiding the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. Free The Night Lester, along with Boyd Sleator, is the founder of Free the Night, a non-profit organisation which started in 2021 with the aim of improving the night-time economy in Northern Ireland, including making it more "safe, progressive and culturally diverse" and campaigning for improved public transport. == References ==
