DRUM SYRUP PODCAST 10 - OLIVER.R

exclusive | Bad Flatmates 'Major 2 Minor (Oliver.r Re-Shape) | Hypnotic Sunrise

Tzena and Dea team up as Bad Flatmates to deliver their Chemicals Between Us EP on newly founded label Hypnotic Sunrise. The four tracker consists out of three original tracks and a 're-shape' from Bizarre Trax beatmaker Oliver.r, who sprinkled his sound-magic on Major 2 Minor. Oliver.r's version is a frisky deep minimal take with warm percussions in the low-frequencies giving the track not only an organic feel but foremost an irresistible groove, which smoothly goes along with the array of chords - as if Deep House met Minimal in its most formidable way. 

Bad Flatmates' EP Chemicals Between Us is out on Hypnotic Sunrise.

Bizarre Trax with Alexia & Oliver.r - 16 March 2024

exclusive | Raynerfromfinance - Tokyo Dreaming | Truffle101

Curated by the trifecta of Lazy Susan (2StepBec, oliver.r, and Zeus), the Truffle101 endeavor gracefully emerges this vernal season with its inaugural unveiling, spearheaded by co-founder oliver.r donning his Raynerfromfinance guise. Serving as the label's maiden voyage, this debut offering traverses a labyrinth of sonic landscapes, seamlessly navigating through the realms of sleek Jazz, nebulous dub, ethereal ambience, and every auditory nuance in between. As a manifestation of musical profundity, Raynerfromfinance, the maestro behind the numerics, unveils his premiere opus, "An Introduction To Truffle101", delivering a symphony of downtempo compositions that resonate with the depths of the soul.

Within the mosaic of melodies, "Tokyo Dreaming" delves into the profundity of the downtempo genre's abyssal facets. Through its beguiling chord progressions paying homage to the enigmatic essence of the Japanese metropolis, the composition invites voyagers on a cerebral odyssey, transcending physical confines to immerse themselves wholly in the ethos of the land. A magnum opus of sonic artistry, "Tokyo Dreaming" stands as a testament to exquisite craftsmanship, evoking a sensory experience that lingers long after its final note dissipates into the ether.

Radio Pager Episode 56 - Oliver.r

As a Christmas gift, we invite you to listen a recording from the latest Chant Des Oiseaux: the superb set by Oliver.r, English producer & member of Felon5.
It was played on the last day of the festival, that precise moment when the birds take the time to go down from the great heavens. 

It's the first in a series of sets that we will be releasing on the Atipik Soundcloud page that we're happy to share with you. 

We wish you a good listening experience, adapted for long driving journeys but also for more attentive listening during those long winter evenings. 

The Atipik team 💜

RECORDING LCDO 001 - OLIVER.R

exclusive | Oliver.r - What You Got (Deep Dub) | Bizarre Trax

Oliver.r's "What You Got (Deep Dub)" stands out as a refined deep, minimal groover on the "5 Years VA EP", a digital compilation celebrating Bizarre Trax's half-decade of eclectic sounds. The track skillfully balances subtlety and sophistication, making it a versatile addition to the label’s milestone release.

Built on a sleek, Minimal House foundation, "What You Got (Deep Dub)" demonstrates Oliver.r's precision in crafting grooves that feel both understated and dynamic. The bassline delivers a steady pulse, anchoring the track’s momentum, without overwhelming the mix. The standout element is the vocoder-treated "What You Got" vocal snippet, which adds a futuristic edge, subtly weaving in and out with an effortless cool. The vocals never dominate but rather enhance the track’s allure, offering a classy nod to house’s timeless aesthetics.

This deep dub excursion embodies Bizarre Trax's ethos, seamlessly combining party-ready elements with a deeper, introspective vibe. Perfect for setting the tone in an intimate club setting or adding depth to a warm-up set, "What You Got (Deep Dub)" reflects the label's commitment to curating sounds that resonate on both a physical and emotional level.

Overall, the track pays homage to the label’s roots while pointing toward a progressive future—an ideal way to mark five years of Bizarre Trax. Oliver.r’s contribution is both a celebration and a reminder of why the imprint remains a staple in minimal house circles.

Premiere: A1 - Oliver.r - Be Mine [RIDE17]

exclusive | Jhobei - Imperfection | TAN

To mark its tenth digital release, the Bizarre Trax-affiliated TAN label unveils TAN Trax All Stars - a ten-track celebration that feels more like a love letter to the crew’s extended musical family than a mere compilation. What started as a playful outlet parallel to the more curated, wax-driven Bizarre Trax has evolved into a fully formed identity of its own: cheeky, groove-soaked, and ever dancefloor-minded.

Opening this milestone release is “Imperfection” by Jhobei - not just TAN royalty, but one of the driving forces behind Bizarre Trax itself. With past outings on FUSE, Up The Stuss, Locked In, Mood Waves, BinarySound, and more, Jhobei’s sound has become a trademark: a hybrid of housey warmth, technical precision, and just enough cheek to make you smile mid-mix.

“Imperfection” doesn’t knock at the door - it slips through the cracks like golden hour light, casting long shadows of funk and warmth across the floor. A nimble House bassline sets the pulse, elastic but grounded, wrapped in fluttering pads and tight, swung percussion. The titular vocal - clipped, unfussy - drops in almost as an afterthought, but anchors the track like a mantra. Jhobei adds just enough synth variation to keep the groove shapeshifting, always teasing, never overplaying its hand.

Like much of Jhobei’s work, “Imperfection” doesn’t beg to be heard - it just feels like it’s always been there, waiting to soundtrack a hazy morning after or a peak-time wiggle. As far as mission statements go, it’s a perfect opener for an imprint built on community, playfulness, and groove without ego.

Ten releases deep, TAN’s personality is sharper than ever - and “Imperfection” is a reminder that sometimes the smoothest things come with just the right amount of grit.
