BIOGRAPHY:
Olivier Grégoire aka Kolombo hails from the city of Namur, in the Southof Belgium where he's been djing for a long while as well as promotinghighly succesful parties.
He has also been producing dance musicsince 2001but it took him a couple of years more to really master hisart of modern production within many pseudonyms and dance music genresand a HUGE discography.
He came to international proeminence trough King Kong records (SharamJey's label) for which he's been producing many electro-house Eps withhis partner Djerom under the name of Loulou Players.
The pair went on to remix artists such as Darren Emerson, JoachimGarraud, Zoo Brasil, John Acquaviva or Remo feat Cheleonis R Jones andbecame a hugely influential dj duo in the South of Belgium, playinghuge raves and festivals. Carried by this succes, Olivier founded hisown label, naturely named Loulou records but then felt it was time tostart producing alone and started recording under his soon-to-be-bigKolombo moniker.
He started to experiment new ideas and production techniques and made amix between house, tech house & minimal and still with an club feelon labels such as Giant Wheel (with Ante Perry), Boxer, Hypnotic,Robotronic, Ladies and Gentlemen, Add2basket, Karate klub,...
He was also spotted by Systematic records boss, Marc Romboy who createda sub-division of his label to release his Kolombo material callViceversa and got him to remix Systematic artists under his real name,Olivier Grégoire as well as a full solo Ep on Systematic.
He then hooked up with Belgian producer Compuphonic to release eps onTiga's Turbo imprint for which he has also solo material lined-up. Theyalso have remixed Cari Lekebush and the Presets (on Modular) and MartinSolveig.
As a side project he's also producing deeper music together withBelgian house dj veteran Geoffroy (Hi-Phen, Suicide, SSR) as Mugwumpwhose recent eps on Mood Music, Misericord (Ewan Pearson's label),Disco45 (Rob Mello's label) and Kompakt have been causing a stir(imminent Mugwump remixes and tracks on Kompakt, Cocoon, R&S,Gigolo, Eskimo)
