‘1986′ is to me the strangest track on the EP since it’s very personal lyrically but at the same time, it has a production which is really different from everything I’ve ever made. The question which goes through the song (“why are you still there if there’s no one to please you?”) sums up the meaning of it. Even if reasons are opposite, both sides are stuck in the same situation of misery and what they lack is the bravery to leave. The song is not just a personal tale, but also a sort of reflection of what I have seen around me, as there are elements that recur in most of the relationships. 1986 is the year my parents met.”

For our 204th Truancy Volume, we welcome a producer and DJ whose work we've seen bridge genres with pop influences over two decades under a multitude of aliases and projects. With his sister Karen, Olof Dreijer has released a plethora of music as The Knife, forming in 1999 from their then-home-studio in Stockholm, before going on to release their self-titled album on their own record label, Rabid Records, in 2001. Countless tours and a Jose Gonzalez cover later, The Knife had propelled themselves onto the worldwide stage and cemented themselves in pop history. Both eventually turning to their own solo projects, Olof went on to release a series of record as Oni Ahyun from 2008-2010, a project he had worked and self-released without much fanfare, yet were met with rave reviews. The third instalment provided a mesmerising 11-minute melodic masterpiece, that was unlike anything the producer had put together before, yet had all the elements of a Dreijer production. Very much like his remix of Kuar by Emmanuel Jal, OAR003 spiralled into sets all over.

In more recent times, he's taken to recording and production for other artists, working with Houwaida Hedfi (after meeting in Tunisia), as well as music for Planningtorock and Zhala. We caught up with Olof to discuss the role of art and creativity in his childhood, his work with Paula Temple for her Decon/Recon project and his forthcoming album work with Houwaida Hedfi and the band Hiya wal alam. His Truancy Volume, filled with his own edits and mashups of Janet Jackson and Beyonce, is a straight-up fun 60-minute dance affair. Olof, who has previously exclaimed his love for dancing in past interviews, works through a multitude of genres aiming to cause that affect, ranging from artists such as DJ Mujava, DJ Lilocox, Paul Johnson, La Materialista, and of course, The Knife.
