Since we discovered Olly's production talents three years ago at Nukleuz I've had the pleasure of working with him regularly on a number of high profile projects and have always known that it's only a matter of time before his passion and talent for hard dance sees him become a major player on the circuit. He has been an excellent addition to the team at www.trackitdown.net where he's our hard dance specialist and is totally integrated into Riot! where his help with marketing and PR has been one of the reasons why the events have been so successful. Ed Real on Olly Perris, February 2005.
Olly Perris is a 21 year old hard house producer & DJ from Southampton, UK. During his short production career, Olly and his production partner Ashley Sinclair have achieved an incredible amount. Their debut single "The Venue" was produced entirely over the internet, setting the trend for other producers to follow. It was released on Nukleuz Blue in December 2002, and has gone on to sell almost 6,000 copies.
Olly's production career has flourished ever since this, having 6 other releases on Nukleuz, and a handful on Alphamagic Ltd with Alf Bamford, another young, upcoming hard house starlet. Olly is also label manager for Addiction Digital, the UK's number 1 digital UK hard trance label. In total, Olly has sold over 50,000 records, appeared on a UK Top 40 single and DJ'ed all across the UK as well as Ibiza and Australia. Not bad for a 21 year old.
In addition to this, Olly has appeared in interviews and features with DJ Magazine, Harderfaster, Tidy.com, Nukleuz.com and Trackitdown, and, along with Ashley, have been quoted as being "...leaders of the nu skool in hard house production..." (Nukleuz.com, May 2003)
Olly's lifestyle away from music is hectic to say the least. Although studying for a History degree at Southampton University after gaining A Level and GCSE qualifications, Olly also writes as a freelance journalist for Harderfaster.Net, where he has interviewed the likes of BK, Nick Sentience, Guy McCaffer & Dom Sweeten, and also at Trackitdown.Net, where Olly also works as a talent scout, finding new labels and new tunes to feature on the site. Olly is a naturally outgoing clubber, who makes it his number 1 priority to go to student clubs at least 3 times a week! Olly has been described by nearly everybody who knows him as an outgoing, bubbly personality with a real thirst for a good time!
