BIOGRAPHY:

Biography of DJ OlliS (Olli Sovijärvi); Helsinki, Finland

OlliS (Break That House, YleX)

At the tender age of 25 the old 'new talent' has dj'ed only for 3 years, covering the main musical directions from House to Breakbeat and Techno; performing with a progressive edge alongside Ian Ossia, John '00' Fleming, Kasey Taylor, U&K, Orkidea and Jori Hulkkonen at various events. His selection of strong melodies, groovy basslines, breakbeats and trance elements can now be heard weekly on YleX 91.9FM.

OlliS' musical history goes way back in time. He grew up in a very musical family where many different kinds of music were present most of the time. At age 6 he started to play the piano and a few years later his parents offered him a chance to study theory of music. Drums were the second instrument to be added on OlliS' repertoire when he started studying at junior high school.

At around 12 years of age Olli got interested in electronic music. His first musical idol must have been Paul van Dyk. Olli was also really into rave at those times, which were the peak moments of the genre. That was also the time when he got interested in making electronic music with simple tracker programs. After following the trance scene from the mid 90's he moved to progressive house music. Since then his all time favourites DJ's have been Sasha & Digweed, Chris Fortier, Anthony Pappa, Ian Ossia, Nigel Dawson and Paul Oakenfold to name but a few. At the moment there are also so many great producers that it is even hard to be updated, but OlliS' favourite ones are Derek Howell, Luke Chable, James Holden, Chris Fortier, GPAL, Mick Burns, Matthew Dekay, Yunus Güvenen, John Graham & Max Graham to name a few. Big respects go to Finnish talents U&K, Orkidea, Miika Kuisma, Incolumis and Introvert also.

OlliS represents a new generation of progressive house music, a style that is built on strong melodies, groovy basslines, breakbeats and trance elements. He also likes to play tribal and tech house and more chilled house once in a while if needed, but the key word is progressiveness. His dj sets are ecclective journeys of todays electronic music mixing old and new stuff, always giving the crowd an unforgettable musical journey. Expect to hear a lot from this man in the future!
