"It takes time to learn how to DJ in a club and how to work - how to read a dance floor is a real skill": DJ and label boss Hannah Holland on improving music production, and the similarities between DJing and soundtracking

Hannah Holland in-studio.

After first exploding onto the London DJ scene in the early 2000s, Hannah Holland has become a mainstay of the queer and alternative club world. Since she founded Batty Bass Records in 2008, her career has spanned the writing of a plethora of soundtracks (including Adult Material and Electrician) as well as a wide array of collaborative material.
