Staff WriterNext up as part of the Local Selection series is talented producer and DJ, Olympias. Her live and DJ sets are inspired by dub, deep house and techno, creating a warm and hypnotic sound which can be heard throughout this live set.
Having grown up in Dublin, Olympias was drawn to the nightclub scene and began to learn about DJing at after-parties. She began playing piano from the age of 6, which saw her first foray into gigging playing piano bars in Dublin.
Her skills behind the decks brought her to perform in clubs such as Radion and Sugarfactory in Amsterdam as well as shows in Hong Kong, Thailand, Germany, Italy, Spain and the US. She had a residency in Dublin with Division at Pygmalion and her radio show on InsomniaFM aired to thousands of listeners, earning her a spot after Chris Liebing’s AM/FM podcast.
In recent years, she decided to focus more on music production, taking on a course with Elevator Program, and releasing her first EP ‘Black Bird’ with their label. She kept her training going and started 1-1 sessions with producer, Subb-An, and mixing tips from Dope Choppa. Her hypnotic style is influenced by dance music from the late 2000s, where her live sets are inspired by chill-out, dub, deep house, minimal, techno, and a bit of blues, creating a warm and hypnotic sound.
This is the perfect midweek musical mood enhancer. Catch her play this Friday in the Pawn Shop, in the meantime, listen below:
We’re very excited to partner with electronic music platform Elevator Program, a music production platform and online community, helping producers crack the creative code needed to produce top-quality electronic music.
