DJ Olive co-founded Lalalandia Entertainment Research Corporation. Lalalandia made many of the most memorable Brooklyn warehouse after-hours environments of the ’90s. Multipolyomni and We™ are two notable projects he created. We™’s ’97 release “as is” can be considered a classic. He has founded two record labels, Phonomena Audio Arts & Multiples, and The Agriculture. Olive’s first solo CD, “Bodega,” dropped under the radar…a Brooklyn favorite. He followed it up with the much loved “Live in Tasmania.” On an altogether different world, Room 40, from Brisbane has put out DJ Olive’s “Triage,” “Buoy” & “Sleep,” CDs that are 60-min voyages of beat-less warmth that Olive calls “sleeping pills.” He has been included in many exhibitions including: Whitney Biennial ’08, Treble, Brooklyn Sculpture Center 2004, City Sonics 2004, Mons, Venice Biennale 2003, Whitney Biennial 2002, and Bit Streams at the Whitney 2001. He has performed with: Rich “Lloop” Panciera, Ignacio “Once11” Platas, Luc Ferrari, Marc Ribot, William Hooker, Christian Marclay, Kim Gordon, Christian Fennesz, Otomo Yoshihide, Derek Bailey, Charles Gayle, Steve Shelly, Ikue Mori, Jim O’Rourke, Cyro Baptista, Cornel Rochester, Ralph Peterson, Drew Gress, Mark Feldman, Yuka Honda, Don Byron, Micheal Formenek, Tim Barnes, Bavid Binney, Ralph Alessi, Alan Vega, David Moss, Khan & Walker, Elliot Sharp, Glenn Spearmen, William Winant, Ulrich Krieger and many many more.
