Thad Lester

First captivated by electronic music late in 1988, the last 17 years have been spent working in many facets of the music industry, all the time on a crusade to collect the tunes that have shaped his somewhat distorted reality and share them with others.

1989 with acid house at ZuZu’s, Chevron and Checkpoint Charlie. The early 90’s with rave/techno/trance at Pure, Maze, Biology, Chemistry, Karma, Imagineer, Hardware & Every Picture Tells A Story.

The mid-90’s mix of hard house at Dome, progressive at Union City, Mansion, parties at the docks and the twisted sounds of trance in the bush at Earthcore. While Earthcore and the progressive scene is where his heart lies, his collection is a blend of the best from all those eras.

His work has included promoting clubs, touring international DJ’s, managing record stores, a record label, a DJ bookings company and years of graphic design, but none of this has outweighed his main passion – playing records.

More recently Thad has tried his hand at production, with a certain success.

His first track – Midnight Firefight – an acid inspired tech-trance adventure, first aired on the main stage at Earthcore’s 10 Year Anniversary. After finally passing on a few copies it made it onto the charts of local DJ Dean Millson & Greece’s rising star DJ Kosmas Epsilon who continued to play it at gigs across the globe.

With a stash of his own unreleased material and a collection of records as diverse as his – expect the unexpected!
