Biography

Olivier Grégoire aka Kolombo hails from the city of Namur, in the South of Belgium where he has been djing for a long while as well as promoting highly succesful parties. He has been producing dance music since 2001 but it took him a couple of years more to really master his art of modern production under many pseudonyms in several dance-music genres, which gave him a HUGE discography.
His international break-through come through King Kong Records (Sharam Jey's label) for which he has been producing many electro-house Eps together with his partner Djerom under the name of Loulou Players.

As Loulou Players, the pair went on to remix artists such as Darren Emerson, Joachim Garraud, Zoo Brasil, John Acquaviva or Remo feat Cheleonis R Jones and became a hugely influential dj duo in the South of Belgium, playing huge raves and festivals.

Olivier founded his own label, naturely named "Loulou Records" and it was time to start producing alone and recording under his soon-to-be-big Kolombo moniker. Experimenting new ideas and production techniques and made a mix between house, tech house & minimal and still with a club feel on 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 created a sub-division of his label to release his Kolombo material call Viceversa 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 on Tiga's Turbo imprint for which he has also solo material lined-up. They also have remixed Cari Lekebush and the Presets (on Modular) and Martin Solveig.

As a side project he's also producing deeper music together with Belgian house dj veteran Geoffroy (Hi-Phen, Suicide, SSR) as Mugwump whose 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)

The future looks bright with new material lined-up on Systematic, Turbo, Boxer, Hypnotic and many more as well as collabs n remixes all over with Compuphonic, Ante Perry,Oliver Klein, Mugwump and start a new deephouse projet with his cousin call Family Stuff...
