All of a sudden, like a clap of thunder in a clear sky, house music exploded in Amsterdam. It was September 1988, the end of the summer that the British had already dubbed "The Summer Of Love," and the birth of a new era in the capital.

Shrouded in steam and smoke, lit by furious, flashing strobes, Eddy de Clercq stands behind the turntables at the RoXY. Beaded with sweat, in deep concentration and completely at one with the music, he builds a compelling, hypnotising soundtrack of electronic beats and basslines. Uplifting house tracks alternate with beautiful, vocal garage and abstract, futuristic Detroit techno. Waves of energy shudder through the crowd, who whoop and cheer with each subsequent track. Football whistles blare, a siren begins to wail. Can you feeeel it? The temperature reaches boiling point as the dance floor explodes in yet another ecstatic climax. But then the DJ makes a radical change in tack. The musical rollercoaster hurtles on into the depths of the night, driven forward by an intense, biting acid track that makes the floor shake. Strange and estranging and going so deep that we seem for a moment to step into an intoxicating dreamworld where time no longer exists.

In the late summer of 1988, over the course of only a few weeks, the RoXY, a stylish, former cinema on the Singel in Amsterdam, grew into a veritable house temple: the dazzling centre of the capital's young house scene and a club whose fame in the years that followed would take on almost mythical proportions. Not only because of the music, but also due to the extravagant clientele, who knew how to create an amazing party atmosphere.

Olivier Abbeloos  is born and raised in Belgium. He’s active as DJ, producer, composer, remixer. 

Step backward,  Olivier Abbeloos a familiar name? That depends on when you first started buying house music.
 
He shot to fame in the early 90's producing classics such as T99's 'Anasthasia' together with Patrick De Meyer & rapper Zeno (which was on Sony Music and XL Recordings around the Prodigy era) and Quadrophonia's 'Quadrophonia' together with Lucien Foort. Two huge records, number ones in many territories worldwide and records that kick started the dance music and in particular the rave scene. The album release of T99 “Children of Chaos” contained 17 tracks. Anasthasia appears on the soundtrack of the 1999 film Human Traffic. A massive hit in 1991 and a great source of inspiration for generations to come. 25 Years later, the iconic song is honored with five new versions on Armada. In 2019 Anasthasia is honored with a lot of remixes on iG Recording.
With Quadrophonia he released the album “Cozmic Jam” including the rave anthem Quadrophonia.
No small feat. Olivier also produced Technotronics Second Album.
 
Fast forward to 2006 and Olivier has struck gold with his C-MOS - “2 million ways” record signed to Lowered Rec. / Universal Music (UK) and remixed by Axwell. But this time its not a rave anthem - this is a raw yet slick house record. 
So what else is Olivier doing ? Olivier runs Holographic & iG Recording, labels based in Belgium. Over the past 20 years, he has developed a typical sound that is like no other in the house scene. He produces several projects under the names C-MOS, Conga Squad, Cloud 9, Nu-matic, Bio-nic, Dynetic, Warp Factor One, Souldraft, Kretek, Soul Patrol, Trigger, Destroyer, Neon, Jarvic 7, Random Generator, Vortex, NBK, QA 0-127, The Concrete Beat, Neutron Pulse, ...
His hot and spicy sequences have appeared on a lot of mix compilations (Armada, Moby, Hed Kandi, Ministry of Sound, ….). Companies like Universal, Sony, Columbia, EMI, BMG, Warner, Virgin, Subliminal, Motivo, Strictly Rhythm, Kingstreet, JBO, Armada, Spinnin' …  licensed his productions.
 
From Brussels to Amsterdam, Berlin, London, LA, … as a DJ Olivier travels the world and gets the crowd wet with anticipation at several house and rave parties. 
Just to name a few clubs, festivals … :
Residencies : La Rocca, Noxx, Fill Collins Club, Studio Live (Who’s Who’s Land), G-Spot, …
Other : Tresor, Kompass, Bangface, Café d’Anvers, Petrol, Kissinger, Krush Club, Vooruit, Decadance, Fuse, Tomorrowland, Time Machine, Age of Love, Melkweg, Paradisio, Turn up the Bass, Ground Zero, Mysteryland, Pleasure Island, Raveland, Wooferland, Bangface, … LA, San Fransisco Berlin, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Moskow, Tokyo, Ibiza…… 
 
That man’s a legend !
