After an impressive 2018 that elevated the Swedish DJ and producer Jeremy Olander to the next level via a hectic tour schedule at premier clubs and festivals, sold out label showcases, a debut Cercle show that’s been streamed just south of 1 million times in less in a few months, as well as multiple Beatport chart topping releases, he’s set to kick off his 2019 with a return to his highly regarded Vivrant imprint.
The two-track EP, containing club favorite ‘Docks’ and newly minted ‘Brando’, sets the tone perfectly for the creative trajectory of Jeremy Olander’s dynamic and ever-developing melodic house and techno sound. Characterised by swerving, bright, trembling melodies that are contrasted against sinister yet groovy drum work, ‘Docks’ is a bonafide genre-transcending record that does the trick in a wee hour set on a crisp winter morning, as well as with bridging the gap from the initial phase of a set to the peak time affair. The flip-side brings us ‘Brando’, and it continues the sonic journey where ‘Docks’ left off. A deep, melodic and seemingly delicate affair, it features spacey and enigmatic FX and a joyous yet sophisticated synth lead laid across a bed off a subtly thumping bass line. The breakdown, arguably one of Olander’s strong suits, builds suspense in a debonair manner before an imminent and unsuspecting release.
In just three years, Jeremy Olander’s Vivrant label has emerged as one of the most intriguing young labels on the scene at the intersection of deep house, techno, and melodic house. With original releases and remix work from Marino Canal, Finnebassen, Charlie Thorstensson, Khen, Henry Saiz, André Hommen, Tim Engelhardt, and forthcoming remixes from Diynamic’s Karmon and Full Pupp’s Magnus International, the Stockholm-based imprint has in a short time attracted established artists as well as some of the most exciting emerging new talents to its roster.
