The Detroit-based group The Oliverwho Factory (they go simply by the names Darryl and Shonie) is a bit of a mystery. With a scant 10 releases under their belt since they premiered on their own Madd Chaise Inc imprint in 2003, they have created a name for themselves that is rarely heard but when it is, it’s uttered in a reverent tone. Their sound is one that doesn’t fit easily into a box; its raw and electrifying blend of soulful house and jackin’ techno has likely made them hard to market out of the gate. Which was a problem for Darryl’s previous incarnation on a major label under the name Oliver Who?, a deal that only yielded one album that focused on a range of R&B styles. That experience may be why The Oliverwho Factory are reluctant to enter into the spotlight. Whatever the reason, it’s only a matter of time before the world realizes what they’ve been missing. After sticking to small quantities of vinyl through the years they’ve made the jump to digital distribution with What People Play and saw their gorgeous slice of strut-your-stuff house ‘Together’ featured in the mix on Tama Sumo’s Panorama Bar 02 mix CD.
Kerstin became one of the group’s biggest champions, leading to them performing live at the Panorama Bar and contributing a remix to the Tama Sumo and Prosumer collaboration, ‘Rarified’ on Ostgut Ton. 2010 saw a release on Carl Craig’s prestigious Planet E label, before the pair hooked up with Rush Hour for the excellent ‘Galactic Transit’ 12″ early in 2011. Later the same year, Lerosa’s ‘Amanatto’ album on Uzuri Recordings featured three tracks co-written and produced with the Oliverwho Factory, including vocal contributions from both Darryl and Shonie.

2012 took the Oliverwho Factory to Italy on Bosconi Records, remixing session with Recloose and a Slammin' Detroit track on Dolly Records.  2013 will bring another release on the German label, Couldn't Care More with "You Just Don't Know" and new releases from the Oliverwho Factory's own label, Madd Chaise Inc.
