Forming a Techno & Electronica identity in Melbourne, Australia - Charles Oliver is not one to hold back on reconstructing Electronic Dance Music.

Through the incorporation of heavy industrial beats, glitchy abstract percussion, laced with evocative melodies, Oliver seeks to “break genres” in all of his music. As a strong advocate for "pushing music to its boundaries [whatever that boundary may be]", his eclectic style and dynamic production has turned heads from artists such as Jon Hopkins, Max Cooper, Laurent Garnier and Faithless.

With this approach, Charles Oliver brings an evident commitment to producing big dance records. From the cinematic atmosphere in Hivemind (Charles Oliver Remix), to the heart-pumping melodies in Invasion - Oliver's music is regularly supported across Australia's Triple J Radio and Kiss FM UK. From mixes and features with Mixmag, London Warehouse Events and Decoded Magazine, 2021 saw Oliver hitting #1 on Beatport's Techno Chart for his single Saturation Of Self.

His DJ sets, like his production, aim to create an almost 'spiritual healing' experience which he quotes "after a set I feel like I've just been through therapy, even if it's 6am in a dark flashy room". High energy, hypnotic progression and epic soundscapes are prominent during live sets, which has seen him showcase at many Australian Festivals including Rainbow Serpent, along with renowned nightclubs such as Revolver Upstairs.
