Leon Bolier (Dutch pronunciation:[ˈleːjɔnboːˈliːr]; born Leendert Wouter Bolier; 21 October 1980), also known by his mononym Bolier, is a Dutch
tranceDJ and
record producer.
Biography
Bolier's career began to flourish in 2008 with a number of successful song releases including the hit song "Ocean Drive Boulevard". He placed at #95 on the DJ Mag's 2008 list of the top 100 DJs in the world, and moved up 32 places in 2009,[2] and placed at #68 in 2010. He has had his songs played by top DJs like
Tiësto and
Armin van Buuren[3] as well as his tracks appearing on famous trance compilations such as In Search of Sunrise 4: Latin America and A State of Trance 2006. Two of his albums were released during the span of 2008 and 2010, titled Pictures and Phantasma, respectively. By the following year, which coincided with his complete dropping out of DJ Mag's list of the top 100 DJs, his musical style began to change, as depicted in "Disco Davai" among others.
At the end of 2014, Bolier started working on his third album under his new alias WSTLNDR. The 12-track work, titled Atmostopia, featured his complete return to his original creative roots which were not seen in his repertoire since the release of Phantasma. The album was released on Black Hole[4] on 14 September 2015.
