The Ascended Man is a pseudonym of Olivier Abbeloos.
Olivier Abbeloos is active as DJ, producer, composer, remixer.
Step backward, Olivier Abbeloos a familiar name? That depends on when you first started buying house music.
He shot to fame in the early 90’s producing classics such as T99’s ‘Anasthasia’ and Quadrophonia’s ‘Quadrophonia’. Two huge records, number ones in many territories worldwide and records that started in particular the “rave” scene. No small feat. He also produced Technotronics Second Album.
Fast forward to 2006 and Olivier has struck gold with his C-MOS – “2 million ways” record signed to Lowered Rec. / Universal Music (UK) and remixed by Axwell. But this time it’s not a rave anthem – this is a raw yet slick house record.
So what else is Olivier doing ? Olivier runs his own labels Holographic & Epos, two club labels based in Belgium. Over the past 20 years, he has developed a typical sound that is like no other in the house scene. He produces several projects under the names C-MOS, Conga Squad, Cloud 9, Nu-matic, Bio-nic, Dynetic, Warp Factor One, Souldraft, Kretek, Soul Patrol, Trigger, Destroyer, Neon, Jarvic 7, …
His hot and spicy sequences have appeared on a lot of mix compilations (Armada, Moby, Hed Kandi, Ministry of Sound, ….). Companies like Universal, Sony, Columbia, EMI, BMG, Warner, Virgin, Subliminal, Motivo, Strictly Rhythm, Kingstreet, JBO, … licensed his productions.
From Brussels to Amsterdam to London to LA, as a DJ Olivier travels the world and gets the crowd wet with anticipation at several house and rave parties. He has played at different clubs and festivals.
