Olav Basoski

Born and raised in Haarlem, The Netherlands, and a descendant of a Polish soldier, Olav Basoski (b. 14/10/1968) is one of the biggest names in dance music. He started his career as a DJ when he was just at the age of 15. In 1987 he bought his first recording equipment and he started to produce his own music. Olav made more than 100 records but not always as 'Olav Basoski'. He used a lot of pseudonyms like Sil, Bruce Webber, 6 Bells All, Mellow-Dee Project, The, and World Series Of Life. In the past Olav Basoski worked together with other producers, like Erick Eerdhuizen AKA DJ Erick E and René ter Horst AKA DJ Zki.
Olav Basoski did a lot of remixes for some very famous artists like Moby, Pulp Victim, James Brown, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Phats & Small, U96, Mirwais, Bob Marley, JX, Apollo 440, Vengaboys, Hardfloor, 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor and many others. In the meantime, his own 'Samplitude' serie revealed more of his sampling and reworking. The single 'Opium Scumbagz' (2000), remixed to great effect by the Cleptomaniacs, pushed further his popularity.
In 2005, 'Waterman', a reworking of 'Bam Bam' originally performed by Sister Nancy, featured the vocals of Michie One.
