Olive T -who’s become an increasingly visible draw at local dance spots over the past year, shows a command of house and techno of all eras that is so fluent it can seem offhanded, and she weaves in plenty else, besides.” - Michaelangelo Matos

Reviews

After putting out the excellent ‘Goin Up’ EP in July, the New York-based artist’s second four-track EP landed this month via Sorry Records. Our pick of the bunch is ‘Shimmer or Glimmer’, which opens up gently with metronomic clicks and gliding string sounds, before steadily ramping up the pressure. By the midway point it’s grown into a formidable dancefloor heater, packing a bold acid line, moody bass notes and reverberating vocals into its potent atmosphere.”

Opening track “Opaque” perfectly captures the moment around 1990 when NYC producers like Lenny Dee and Frankie Bones connected with what was happening in Detroit and the UK and created something simultaneously tough and emotive. 909 drums and sunrise chords all the way! “This is a Bop” is funkier, shufflier, more modernist..” - Joe Muggs
