Local Selection 297: Nestor

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.
