PsyOP

Who is am i?

Oliver Blazevic aka Oliver B, PsyOP, Sancho and HJ started to produce music in the early nineties in Germany. A trance/techno tape from his older sister changed his life.

The Beginning

As he was playing keys since he was a kid, he got an Amiga with Protracker and started to produce, low quality results but a lot of fun, better to say he was addicted.

Standard way of getting into production.

As the time passed he got better equipment and started to produce music on a more professional level. One aspect from Oliver's music remained the same, no usage of loops of any kind everything you hear is been played and programmed.

Having performed live for the first time in 1994 school in Germany , playing two synths at the same time he knew that music will play a big part in his life.

Around the mid nineties he started getting interested in Goa/Psy trance, one of the main DJ's who introduced the new sound to our small community in Germany was Thorsten Paul founder of KLOPFGEISTER and a pro DJ.

Discography

In 1996 he recorded his first album TRS, a compilation of his best tracks at that time. Produced with two synths and a mixer it was more of a compilation of learning the trade and learning sound design. It was the the year I heard Hypnotizm played in a Nightclub, DJ Petter Heller made one 16 old hobby producer very happy.

1997 album VIZIONER was a different compilation, trance, psy and breaks, the sounds of that album. More experimental album with some advanced midi programming and hardware sequencing. This album defined Olivers sound. There have been few other Goa trance tunes but I did not finish them on time to have them on this album. Track Kosmos is one of them.

1998 album PHASE 3 was the last recorded in Germany, this was almost a mainstream compilation with trance, breaks and for a change few house tracks. Lots of input came from friends, i tried few new styles to expand my production technoque. Tracks like Nirvana remained in the background until 2002, when he got some interest from labels in the UK and set the download servers on fire.

1999-2002 Few single independent releases and a switch from hardware to software DAW's and the virtual world of sound.

Latest releases can be found on Olivers label Psydonia Records.

Now

Currently situated in sunny and beautiful Perth, Australia, Oliver continues with his addiction, psy trance and breaks/down tempo play the biggest role in Oliver B productions these days. All new live act is in making and I'm working on new DJ sets.

Embracing both hardware and software Oliver's latest trips to the world of sound are more experimental then ever, still he manages to apply his signature on both styles be it broken beat or four on the floor.

Forth album will be finished this year and it will be a album that was in making since late 2006. I wanted to release something that I would be proud of and create something that would define my sound in a ever-growing and expanding psy trance scene.

Many more unreleased trax are coming soon.
