DJ Olive (USA)
DJ Olive is known for many sounds, from beats to sleep to avant-turntablism. In the early 90’s he was an active member of the infamous Williamsburg scene, producing ambient events throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. He was a founding member of We™, one of the most influential electronic acts to emerge from the U.S. scene in the ninties. As a joke, he gave birth to the term “illbient” and has been credited with founding the illbient movement. As an improvisor he has performed with thousands of world class musicians such as Luc Ferrari, Kim Gordon, Ikue Mori, Uri Caine, John Zorn, Christian Fennez, plus many more. In 1999, he co-founded the Agriculture record label, releasing roof music, “beats in the backyard sunrise kinda vibe“, on which he has released solo albums Bodega and Heaps As. More recently DJ Olive has been releasing ambient sleep albums that he calls “Sleeping Pills“, Buoy and Sleep are both available on Room40. Performing at the Hollywood on Thursday night, DJ Olive will be on turntables and live electronics.
