Olivier Gregoire aka Kolombo came to international prominence through King Kong records (Sharem Jey’s label) for which he’s been producing many electro-house EPs with his partner, Jerome, under the name of Lou Lou Players.  The pair went on to remix artists such as Darren Emerson and Joachim Garraud and became a hugely influential DJ in the South of Belgium, playing huge festivals.  Carried by this success, Olivier founded his own label named Loulou records but then felt it was time to start producing along and started recording under this soon-to-be-big Kolombo moniker.

He was spotted by Systematic records boss, Marc Romboy who created a sub-division of his label to release his Kolombo material called Viceversa and got him to remix Systematic artists under his real name Olivier Gregoire as well as a full solo EP on Systematic.  He then hooked up with Belgian producer Compuphonic to release EPs on Tiga’s Turbo imprint for which also has solo material lined up.  They also have remixed Cari Lekebush, The Presets and Martin Solveig.

Kolombo has released on some of the biggest labels worldwide including Kompakt, Turbo and Australia’s own Modular.  Producing music himself as Kolombo and as one half of the Lou Lou Players and Mugwump it seems Kolombo is going to cause a stir when he makes it to Australia for the first time.

On Sunday, 13^th September elsewhere hosts Kolombo for his first and only Gold Coast show.  Alongside Kolombo will be Giv, Stretch and Ladyboy.
