>> OLIVER $ (OLIVER DOLLAR)
The past 3 years have seen Oliver $s name gradually build to a recognizable staple in house music. This Berlin born and based producer has gained acknowledgment through a series of solid releases on labels such as Made To Play, Grand Petrol and Front Room Recordings. Remix credits can be found amongst the most famed independents; including Greco Roman, Rekids and Exploited as well as majors: Polydor and Ministry of Sound.
He first began turning heads in 2009 through his releases “Whatcha Gonna Do” and “You Got It” both on Made To Play. An artist EP, also on Made To Play named “I Hope”, later followed this. He was fully welcomed into the family when asked to mix the Made To Play compilation, which received a welcome response from press and clubbers alike. Production credits have undeniably merged into aspects of touring, as he also embarked on a US tour alongside label head Jesse Rose and Riva Starr to promote the Scion release “A Night at Made to Play”. Another prominent addition to his rise has been his bi monthly residency at the famous Panorama Bar in Berlin, representing Made To Play for their label showcase. Demonstrating his skills not only lie in production but similarly in Live and DJ sets.
2011 was a massive year for Oliver$; his remix of Aloe Blacc’s worldwide smash hit “I Need A Dollar” quickly gained a wealth of respect and coverage online, which was quickly followed by Oliver$’s first #1 Beatport track “Doin’ Ya Thang”, released on Play It Down; Made To Play’s sister label. “Doin’ Ya Thang” remained at the #1 spot for an astounding 5 weeks, and has continued to sit in the top ten since selling over 30k downloads to date, also topping the Resident Advisor chart. This was followed by another “Granulated Soul” also topping the charts at the end of the year. Most recently, his 2 Bears remix of “Work” has been continuing Oliver$’s rise to the top of the underground scene.
It is clear there are exciting times ahead for this prominent Berlin house producer, who is gaining recognition across the world as his unique style of House continues to grow in popularity.
>> JAY LUMEN
Jay Lumen is one of the most exciting DJs and producers to emerge within the new generation of electronic dance music artists over the last number of years. The Hungarian’s musical journey has seen him come a long way, from classical violin training at 8 years old to now being one of the world’s leading driving forces behind the tech house and techno movements.
In a world where chart success and mass appeal usually revolves around music tailored for the mainstream, Jay is one of the very few artists around today who has managed to find huge success with a truely underground sound.
The success of Jay’s productions speak for themselves. Over the last 3 years alone, Jay has achieved almost 30 Beatport Top 10 hits and has climbed into Resident Advisor’s Top 50 “All Time Charted Artists” list. He was the only artist in 2010 to have 6 productions in the Beatport charts all at the same time and in 2011, he repeated the very same feat! Always in demand, Jay releases his music on hugely respected and prolific international labels like Ministry of Sound, Toolroom, 100% Pure, Tronic, Great Stuff, Drumcode etc. Not only a commercial success on the sales charts, Jay’s music is also held in massive regard by his fellow professionals and icons as continuous appearances on worldwide DJs Charts (e.g. Resident Advisor, Beatport DJ Charts etc) prove.
His DJ sets showcase his signature sound which ranges from house to techno, but always maintains the Jay Lumen style pulsating and dynamic grooves. Full of energy and full of belief in his own sound, it is easy to see how Jay has struck the unique balance of bringing the underground to a large scale audience. His touring schedule is hectic, but Jay has it no other way. Gigs in USA/Canada, South America, North Africa, the Middle East and all over Europe underline his worldwide appeal and, together with his seemingly endless stream of chart hits, it seems the addition of Jay Lumen’s name to the elite of dance music world has arrived. |
