Or:la
Orla is a DJ and producer as well as founder of Deep Sea Frequency label.
Liverpool-based artist was Born in Derry, Northern Ireland’s second-largest city, and in her teens Orlagh was struck by the local club culture. Attracted by its music scene, in 2012 Orlagh left Northern Ireland for university in Liverpool, a city she’d never stepped foot in before.
After joining a DJ society with Manchester-based Holly Lester, Orlagh started playing out as Or:la. The pair then set up a workshop, teaching people how to DJ in their spare time, while Orlagh and another DJ friend, Jessica Beaumont, aka Breakwave, started their own party, Meine Nacht (‘my night’ in English).
The real turning point came when Scuba signed Or:la to Hotflush in 2016.
Getting to release UK Lonely on the label was a huge achievement for her.
Orlagh Dooley is not one for putting on a big show. It’s her concentration, precision and diversity that have led Or:la to a Warehouse Project residency. Likewise, Orlagh is not rushing with her own productions. With a love of jungle, techno and old-school dubstep, upped tempos and UK bass music holds a place in Or:la’s heart.
