Jeremy Olander, is a Swedish DJ and producer based in Stockholm, Sweden. He was born in Fairfax, Virginia, United States and relocated to Stockholm, Sweden at an early age.[1] His style of electronic dance music has been described as a cross between an authentic brand of Progressive house and melodic House music and Techno.[2]

Career

Olander's first official original release came out on Sovereign House Records in 2009. He went on to continue to release a number of EPs on smaller independent record labels, including JOOF Recordings founded by John "00" Fleming, before signing to Dutch Spinnin' Records. He released 3 EPs on Oxygen Recordings and Spinnin' Deep, both sub-labels of Spinnin' Records. He then released on Phazing Records, founded by Australian DJ and producer Dirty South. The EP, entitled "Airsteala EP", came out in 2011 and was the third ever release on the label. It included the original mix of "Airsteala" and a remix by Dirty South.[3]

In 2011 Olander became the first artist to sign an agreement for multiple releases on Pryda Friends, a label founded by one of his main musical inspirations; Swedish DJ and producer Eric Prydz. To date, Olander has had 6 releases on Pryda Friends that have come to be some of the label's biggest sellers. His most successful outing on Pryda Friends was "Let Me Feel", a single released in 2013 that peaked at number 10 on the overall Beatport Top 100 chart.[4]

During his tenure at Pryda Friends, Olander also released music on other dance music labels, such as Sudbeat Music founded by Hernán Cattáneo, Toolroom Records founded by Mark Knight and Cr2 Records founded by Mark Brown.

In 2014 Olander became the first artist to sign an agreement for multiple releases on Pryda Recordings. His inaugural EP on the label became the first from an artist other than Eric Prydz.[5] The EP, consisting of lead track "Jackie" together with "Lauderdale" and "DLIGTY", went to number 1 on the overall Beatport Top 100 releases chart and ousted Aphex Twin from the top spot. It stayed at number 1 for 10 days.[6]

He has produced a number of remixes for other artists both in and outside of the electronic dance music space, including Dosem, Mendoza, Digitalism, Golden Girls, The Good Guys, Glenn Morrison, 16 Bit Lolitas, Adrian Lux and Henry Saiz.

Olander employs an alias called Dhillon for a certain style of his music. It is described as darker and deeper underground Techno.[7] His most successful releases as Dhillon have been put out on Drumcode Records founded by Swedish DJ and producer Adam Beyer. In 2014 Olander played his first show as Dhillon at Sound Nightclub in Los Angeles, California.[8]

In 2014, Olander performed at the EPIC 3.0 show at Madison Square Garden put on by Eric Prydz.[9] The show incorporated a 20m, 4K hologram and 32 lasers.[10]

In March 2015, Olander announced his and his manager's club concept for smaller, intimate venues called lo-fi. The inaugural event in the series sold out in 3 days and was held on May 15 in his home town of Stockholm at a defunct bomb shelter. Olander is said to take the concept on tour in 2016. “We want to create a simple but powerful experience that reminds us of the type of events that made us fall in love with this music 13-14 years ago. My manager and I were brought up at warehouse parties and small, sweaty 200 capacity venues where LED walls and CO2 cannons were non-existent", Olander said.[11]

On April 20, 2015, Olander made his debut on Canadian progressive house and techno label microCastle. The label has previously released music by acts in the likes of Dosem, Guy J, Henry Saiz, Eelke Kleijn, 16 Bit Lolitas, King Unique, Jamie Stevens and more. The EP featured 3 original tracks as well as a remix delivered by Spanish DJ and producer Marc Marzenit.[12]

On July 6, 2015, Olander released his first track on Spanish label Suara with his remix of Dosem's "Runnerpark". Other remixers that were a part of the project included Henry Saiz & Marc Marzenit, Mathias Kaden & Daniel Stefanik and AFFKT. The remix EP was supported by Eric Prydz, Booka Shade, Paco Osuna, John Digweed, Hot Since 82, Adam Beyer, Monika Kruse, Popof, Alan Fitzpatrick and Joseph Capriati.[13] Olander's remixed peaked on Beatport at number 4 on the Top 100 Techno chart.[14]

On November 30, 2015, Olander, along with his manager Alexander Drewniak, launched his own label, Vivrant. The first release featured the long desired Taiga and Roots, as well as Pinkerton from Olander Essential Mix with Prydz and the previously unheard Falls. [15]

In late October 2016, he brought back the Vivrant party to his hometown with a lineup containing acts such as Henry Saiz, Finnebassen and Sweden native Charlie Don’t Surf. The sold out show was held at Nobelberget, a 1200 cap venue just outside Stockholm. [16]

Jeremy was nominated for Beatport Progressive House Artist of the Year in 2016. [17]

In May 2017, Olander hit a milestone in his career by releasing on John Digweed’s well known imprint Bedrock Records. ’Last Dance’ was Olanders first ever collab project, and stayed as number 1 for 10 days on the Beatport progressive house release chart and peaking at 29 at the overall release chart. ”It’s definetely a dream come true”, Olander said about releasing on the label.

Olander gave back to his supporters with a free event called ”Vivrant Open” in June 2017, where he played for 8 hours straight, making it his longest set to date. The event was an open air at Amfiteatern in Långholmen and about 2000 people attended the event. [18] [19]

Adding to his list of breakthroughs in 2017, Jeremy also got the chance to do his first residency at Sound Nightlcub in Los Angeles. Previous Sound residents include Guy Gerber, Pete Tong and Marco Carola. [20]

Olander had his first label showcase at the yearly Amsterdam Event Festival in October 2017. Olander brought names like Marino Canal, Guy Mantzur, Khen, Tim Engelhardt and Ejeca with him, making the show one of the highlights of the year for the swede.

In late 2017 Olander debuted on Anjunadeep with his ’Crossed’ EP, which was released on December 8. Continuing his impressive run on Beatport, the EP peaked at number 2 on the overall release chart and earned the number 1 spot on the progressive house release chart. [21]

At the time of writing, Olander has released 6 original releases on his imprint Vivrant under various production aliases. All four releases under his made it to number 1 on the Beatport Progressive House Top 100 releases chart. Olander has also put out two back to back EPs under his monicker Dhillon on Vivrant. They also made number 1 on the Beatport Top 100 Techno releases chart. [22]

Olander is signed to American music publisher Warner/Chappell Music.[23]
