Dorset, United Kingdom

Ascending from the roots of British rave culture, OLEM is an artist with a truly unique story. A former serving member of her Majesty's British army, his passion for music is deep-seated and based on a plethora of life experiences. A big character by nature, OLEM has always been one to throw himself in at the deep end and aim almost beyond reach. From giving himself only two weeks to practice for his first gig to playing at festivals to thousands of dancefloor revellers, he uses his love for electronic music as a driver to push the limits and progress inexhaustibly as an artist on every level.

Combining his fondness of tech house and disco, OLEM’s output encompasses uplifting energy, groove and captivating melodics. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Max Chapman, Mark Knight, Doorly, Purple Disco Machine and Peggy Gou, he incorporates many of the most enjoyable elements of modern dance music to great effect.

A graduate of the revered Sub Bass Academy.
