For the next instalment of the Local Selection, we’re pleased to welcome Sligo-born, Manchester-based DJ, producer and promoter Nestor to the series. The 297th edition shows an insight into Jack’s taste that has formed over the years. Featuring a strong selection of electro, UK techno and acid house.

This week’s Local Selection comes courtesy of Nestor. Initially rooted in Sligo before making the move to Manchester in 2022 to pursue music, he has had some glaring success in that time as an artist and promoter of Lace. From spinning in a wealth of Manchester’s venues such as The White Hotel, Hidden, Stage & Radio, DBA and The Progress Centre, as well as picking up gigs in Leeds and Liverpool.

Nestor has also had the opportunity to throw parties in the city alongside his partner Adam Hunter, and in doing so has welcomed a wealth of formidable artists to their party. Some of which include Bas Mooy, Peder Mannerfelt, Anabel Arroyo, Kerrie, Sunil Sharpe and many more artists over the last number of years. In doing so, they have acted as a beacon to platform Irish talent. Showcasing genuine effort to platform talented Irish artists and fostering collaboration among two of Ireland’s most reputable parties, Encrypted and Hidden Love, further strengthening the links between Irish and UK-based parties.

As a DJ and producer, Nestor demonstrates his versatility often, playing a broad spectrum of genres across his sets, ranging from high-energy, gritty techno to feel-good house, alongside some of the biggest names in the underground scene. In 2024, Nestor released his debut EP titled ‘Movement’, which featured on RTE Pulse, SWU.FM and Crop Radio. In addition, Nestor also performs under his Paragon alias alongside long-time collaborator Louie. More recently, Nestor progressed significantly with the release of his debut album ‘The Ramblings of a Sligo Man which explores field recordings, electro-acoustic composition and experimental sound design, followed by his second album Digital Methods’, as well as multiple releases on various labels and an appearance on the iconic Rinse FM.
This recording is a fine display of the range in taste that Nestor possesses. The mix allows the listener to experience Nestor’s progression over the course of the hour. Building the energy and intensity as he slides through a variety of genres and moods that touch on the journey-like aspect of mixes that many DJs try to execute, but so few do – a real reward for your ears.

This week’s entry to the Local Selection Mix comes from OneCanChan, who delivers an hour of chugging, Italo-kissed, acid-drenched jackin’ house, an invitation into their expansive, dancefloor-driven world.

A Dublin-based DJ with Chinese roots, OneCanChan’s musical aesthetic is shaped by years spent working in record stores, digging deep across prog house, acid, breaks, and global sounds. They also co-run Shimmer Dublin, an open DJ and arts collective fostering community and creativity in the city.

They’ve performed alongside some of Ireland’s most respected collectives, including Foxgluv, HONEYPOT, and Club Comfort, and their mixes have reached both local and international airwaves. Appearances include Dublin Digital Radio, Refuge Radio Berlin, and The Cosmic Cast in Naarm. Recent highlights see them opening the White Claw stage at Electric Picnic, supporting Kapote and Cody Currie for Toy Tonics’ first Dublin jam, and sharing bills with Moving Still and Coy Haste (Caribou).

Their Local Selection contribution stays true to this all-encompassing approach, expertly sewing together slippery acid cuts, deep and lurching prog-leaning grooves, and dusky Italo-disco rhythms. It’s a mix that resists introspection in favour of pure physicality, an hour that belongs entirely to the dancefloor.

OneCanChan is a DJ who DJs to make people move, and here, bodies are very much in motion.

Our latest Local Selection welcomes Irish-born, UK-based DJ, live-act and producer Adam Kelly, aka POSER. For this instalment, he delivers just under an hour of carefully shaped selections that are warm, fluid and effortlessly controlled. The recording is one curated with intention, balancing subtle energy shifts with moments of real depth. Dial in for the next hour.

POSER is the electronic music moniker of Irish producer and DJ Adam Kelly, who has quickly emerged as one of the most promising names across the UK and Irish electronic scenes in recent years. Drawing influence from disco, hip-hop, house and modern club sounds, his output balances groove-led energy with an emotive edge.

After cutting his teeth in Dublin’s dance music community, Adam discovered a deeper passion for production during lockdown. His debut single, ‘Je T’aime’, landed in June 2022 and picked up early support from BBC Radio 1 tastemaker Jaguar. Since then, a steady run of releases has seen him surpass one million streams on Spotify.

Now based in London, POSER has immersed himself in the city’s diverse electronic landscape, a move that continues to shape and refine his evolving sound while preserving his distinct musical identity.

His momentum has been reinforced through his selection for the Roundhouse Resident Artist Programme and AVA Festival’s Creators Forum, both of which played a key role in developing his live show. He has since performed live at Roundhouse, The Great Escape Festival and Culture Night Dublin. On the DJ front, he has secured notable support slots for Oden & Fatzo at Index, O’Flynn at The Racket Space and 49th and Main at The Bernard Shaw.

POSER’s contribution to this week’s Local Selection is a refined showcase of his immaculate ear for French touch and groove-driven house, seamlessly weaving in a selection of unreleased original material. It’s a mix that is equal parts uplifting and introspective. One that leads with emotion.

This week's contribution to the Local Selection features rising Wicklow-based DJ and producer Lunaks to the series. Lock in for the next hour as he shares his vision of techno through his lens via these stunning selections.

Operating in the stripped-back realms of techno, crafting a sound defined by tension, release and restraint. His approach is rather uncompromising. Typically focused on deep grooves and subtle movement, his productions aim to draw people in through hypnotic undertones.

Having made recent gig appearances in Berlin, alongside Fuinneamh Festival and numerous standout sets at major Dublin parties, Lunaks has been steadily building momentum both locally and abroad. His productions have garnered support from a range of artists in the industry, such as future.666, Tommy Holohan, and Blasha & Allatt as well as a wealth of others that are keen on what's next to come. His recent EP for Research captures the direction of his current stylistic output, and accurately so.

This recording firmly showcases Lunaks’ techno philosophy. Eerie, polished, and contemporary sound design runs throughout the mix, while off-kilter experimental glimpses keep the listener on edge, constantly anticipating what comes next. Steady, sleek, and full of character, this one is a heavy hitter.
