BIO
He started in the recording studio as an engineer, working on mainstream production from the Blues Cafe Studio in Paris to Townhouse Studios in London. But in the background he was programming breakbeat, drum and bass, triphop, hiphop and lounge through projects like Shagshag, Dubweisers or Uprock Massive, with 20 EPs released across 2004 and 2005. Loved by scores of djs such as Misstress Barbara, Carl Cox, Chris Liebing, Umek, Marco Bailey, Christian Varela, Dave Angel, Felipe, Tonio and Green Velvet, they lead to much bigger success in 2006 and the start of Giacomotto's international career.

With a thriving run of bootlegs, from Felix da Housecat to 2 Many Djs to Tiga, that year he also put out his first electro releases on Dietrich Schonemann’s imprint, Tora Tora Tora. TTT-14. Entitled Jamon y Queso and coproduced with Damon Jee, the track scored immediate support from dj’s such as John Acquaviva, Sven Vath, Steve Bug and Tony Rios, and was followed by another smash on John Acquaviva’s imprint Definitive Recordings. Walking on The Moog was co-produced with Damon Jee and created such a big buzz on the scene that it even opened the doors to the top10 of Beatport’s electro house chart and the mainroom of Privilege, Ibiza.

2007? It started with his killer remix of Robots Need Oil by Volta. Massively played around the world, this remix reached the second place of Beatport Top100 Chart, then followed by a number one with Gail in the O. Now constantly on the move across europe and Brazil, Olivier now plays clubs and events like Privilege in Ibiza, Rex Club in Paris, Heineken City Hall in Amsterdam, La Bush in Belgium, Fabrik in Madrid, Turnmills in London, Hrad in Slovakia, Dom Im Berg in Austria, Fusion in Germany, and is a key artist on Definitive Recordings, which will release his followup to 'O' towards the end of 2007...
