‘Leaders of the New School’ is Toolroom Records’ popular sub-label, a digital platform for the brightest, best new talent in dance music from around the world. The label launched in January 2008, and now, 10 releases in, KATE LAWLER takes up the reigns to mix some of her highlights from the label! Weaving together the diverse and dazzling sounds of the Leaders imprint in her own inimitable, infectious style, Kate secures her position as one of the leading female DJs in the country.

Since she burst into the UK’s consciousness back in 2004, Kate Lawler has worked harder than most at getting the world to sit up and take notice. Successfully building herself a reputation as a very talented DJ, she regularly rocks the premier clubs and festivals in the UK, ranging from Godskitchen to Colours in Scotland, Lush in Ireland and of course her massive residency at the legendary club Sankey’s in Manchester. With her profile exploding at home, it was only a matter of time before she smashed onto the international stage; clocking up the air miles, 2008 is the year that’s seen Kate establish an army of fans on every continent!

If you’ve ever seen Kate Lawler behind the decks, you’ll know that she’s as much a part of the crowd as she is maestro of the music! This Leaders Of The New School compilation confirms that Kate is truly one to watch, a definitive ‘leader of the new school’ in her own right.
