  • Holly Lester's label Duality Trax blurs the lines between nostalgic and classic sounds. From Fio Fa's rave-meets-breaks record in 2020 to Tifra's sleek electro offering from earlier this year, the imprint pushes modern dance music with subtle hints of old-school vibes. But the music never sounds too nostalgic, and Lester tends to spotlight emerging artists with a distinctly contemporary approach to their work. Tallinn-based duo Abdul Raeva, AKA Steffan Todorović and Joonas Arro, deliver the label's fourth record, Atlas Corporation, and it’s a groovy concoction of bouncy house, techno and breakbeat. It's the title track that shines the brightest—with its wavey acid melody, big bassline and tinkly percussion, this one is dreamy but also extremely danceable. An instant mood-lifter.
