Brooklyn based artist DJ Olive (aka Gregor Asch) has been working across an array of sound fields for well over 15 years. In that time he has pioneered a number of musical movements, including Sleep parties, which he undertook extensively in Brooklyn during the 1990s. From these lengthy parties, he’s created a dialogue with certain sound textures and emotive tones – which create suggestive, engaging and calming sound environments. On Buoy he delves deep into the realms of sub-sonic bass, littering the listening experience with field recordings, manipulated turntables scapes and a fine production sensibility that reminds us of the importance composition plays in the realm of atmospheric musics.

Words from DJ Olive:
This is a sleeping pill. Listen to it as quietly as you possible can. Mainly two things are going on at once. One is a metaphor. Buoy - an anchored marker that maps the passing waves. Boringly singular, but never the same twice. There for you in a storm. The other is an environment. A sleep over, early morning light across the room, a screen door occasionally whispers as someone moves about. Light fingers touch something. Curled in a cosy corner friends near by at the edge of sleep.
