Oliver Schories

Oliver Schories, an electronic DJ and producer focused on melodic techno alongside deep house, prefers crafting dance tracks that challenge conventional club expectations. His birth took place in 1982 within Germany’s Bremen area, where rock dominated his early listening until the rise of the national electronic movement brought rave sounds to mainstream airwaves. Immersing himself in diverse electronic styles prompted him to start producing original works, yet true recognition arrived only after relocating to Hamburg, a hub with stronger musical infrastructure than his origins. The year 2011 marked his emergence as an artist, soon resulting in the release of his first album, Herzensangelegenheit from 2012, via Parquet Recordings. Despite issuing multiple EPs in quick succession thereafter, he had compiled sufficient tracks for a follow-up LP titled Exit in 2013. Prioritizing complete album projects over individual tracks or shorter releases occupied the subsequent two years, inspiring him to establish the SOSO imprint for greater autonomy in his releases. Fields Without Fences arrived as his inaugural output on this label in 2015, its title drawn from a line in Rage Against the Machine’s “Revolver.” One year afterward came Relatively Definitely, his fourth studio album from 2016.
