Hivemind (Charles Oliver Remix) - Daniel Joshua

#1 Beatport - Techno (Peak Time/Driving) Release Charts - 31.08.2021

The first track from my upcoming EP - Saturation Of Self.

I wanted to introduce a more refined style of dedicated club music I have been exploring over the past couple of years. The first single 'Saturation Of Self' touches on how complex and brutal in nature our subconscious obsessively modifies our identity; the repetitive thoughts that saturate our perspective versus our ability to diminish these thoughts in the midst of a rave. I wanted this track to be driving, heavy, and most importantly dance-floor-defined. I'm really excited to hear it through this type of environment when we get the opportunity....

Out now via all major digital retailers.

Saturation Of Self

Excited to release the second single today from my upcoming EP. This one's titled 'Invasion'.

Buy/Stream: listen.charlesoliver.net/invasion

Grateful for the DJ support from Maceo Plex, Adriatique, HAAi, Henry Saiz, Tinlicker and Anthony Pappa.

'Invasion' stems from the idea of breaking genres. The track takes a little bit of every techno-influenced genre and invades its identity.

I love putting elements together that don't traditionally stick and try to make them work. The bassline defines this, as it initially sounds a little bouncy or boppy, though as it distorts and mutates over time it turns the track into something more heavy and driving.

I had a lot of fun experimenting with this concept of “genre invasion", as it strongly captures the sonic foundation of this EP.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did creating it.

Invasion

I'm excited to finally reveal my second official EP today, out now via all major digital outlets.

I really wanted to showcase a select body of work I felt boldly signifies my current sound. I've been honing in on a more industrial and cinematic sound aesthetic lately; something I feel shaped the overall mood of the EP.

The three tracks all sort of came to fruition in one hit during the middle of the pandemic in 2020. Despite it being a time where clubs weren't really operating, the EP definitely represents a longing desire for crunchy saturated drums banging out through a loud system.

The EP release reveals the third and final track 'Articulation'; this one hits a little more progressive and melodic, something I feel complements some of the harder, aggressive sonic elements I played with in 'SOS' and 'Invasion'.

It's honestly been a little strange making club music when everyone's sitting at home, though now with Australia's lockdown easing I'm really excited to hear these out, and hopefully across the globe once we all open up.

One of the most incredible stage designs I have ever witnessed, and could not be more honoured to play on! Had an incredible time up in Byron Bay NSW playing at Bohemian Beat Freaks 2017, the sister-festival of Rabbits Eat Lettuce. Here is the mix recording - I played at 1:30am Friday night, right after Sebastian Mullaert on the Tree of Life Stage.

Hope you enjoy :)

Live @ My Aeon [Supporting Extrawelt]

Melbourne based artist @charlesolivermusic delivers a spellbinding mix for the next instalment in the LWE series.
 
Cutting his teeth touring Australia’s world famous festivals and clubs, most notably Rainbow Serpent and Revolver Upstairs, Charles is now expanding his reach worldwide. With his own brand of high octane, experimental techno, Charles has gained support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Faithless (Sister Bliss), and Maceo Plex. In 2017, he announced his arrival with the brilliant EP 'Heights', climbing into the top 10 on the Beatport charts. Drawing inspiration from (and in recent times supporting) the likes of Max Cooper and Extrawelt, his latest industrial and glitchy productions ‘Correction’ and ‘Fragility’ have seen his popularity soar even further, starting what promises to be another standout year for Charles.

155 - LWE Mix - Charles Oliver

Since the release of his 2023 debut album A Glimpse from the Other Side, Charles Oliver's trajectory has been a meteoric rise, amassing 1+ million Spotify streams and multiple #1 placements on Beatport & iTunes. 

Following the album, Oliver sold out his debut ‘live’ show in Melbourne, Australia, along with officially collaborating with Jon Hopkins. 2023 continued with an interstate tour alongside The Kite String Tangle, plus an official remix for ARIA Award Nominated Duo - Lastlings, marking a year of groundbreaking achievements.

Blending heavy industrial beats, glitchy percussion, laced with evocative melodies, Oliver's genre-defying tracks include the haunting Hivemind (Charles Oliver Remix), and his sophisticated dance-floor EP Saturation Of Self, which saw him gain notable press from the likes of MIXMAG, Balance Music, Triple J and London Warehouse Events (LWE).

His live performances, characterised by high energy, immersive storytelling, and epic soundscapes, have enchanted audiences at Australian festivals such as Rainbow Serpent and renowned venues such as Revolver Upstairs, solidifying Charles Oliver pathway in redefining the world of Techno and Electronica.

Summer 2024 sees Charles Oliver embark on his debut EU & UK Tour.
