Leon Bolier

Doyen of the Dutch trance scene, Leon Bolier initially rose to prominence in Subsphere, a trance collaboration with his brother Bart releasing music on labels Green Martian and A State of Trance. A prolific producer and remixer, Bolier went solo in 2005 and within a couple of years made it into DJMag's Top 100 only to be dropped from the list a couple of years later following a change of style. Being dropped from the list did little to harm Bolier's popular appeal and he remains one of Holland's hardest working DJs playing hundreds of gigs per year. Early albums feature collaborations with a wide variety of artists such as Alana Aldea, Sie van Riel and Marieke de Krui but his later work is more progressive and less reliant on outside influences. 2015 brought a change of name to WSTLNDER and his third album Atmostopia, was claimed by Bolier to be a demonstration of creative freedom unfettered by the need to create floor-filling hits. Bolier's most significant hit to date remains the single Ocean Drive Boulevard from the double disc album Pictures, released in 2008.
