OLIVER TWIZT

OLIVER TWIZT features in HARD ASS SESSIONS vol III alongside DJ ROCKID with the track “Wanna Be Gangstas” available in all digital stores.

– My name is Oliver Twizt and I’m a dj/producer from Holland. You could describe my sound as energetic-shufflin-party beats with aggresive-electronic-hiphoppin leads. My goal is to resurrect HIPHOP, but on 128 bpm now!
- I always was a fan of Buraka Som Sistema (played their essential mix so so so many times!), so it was really a surprise when I got the email! I’m inspired by kuduro and you’ll hear it a lot in my other tracks as well. Back in the early 90′s you had a similar genre which was big in Holland called “bubbling”. For me “bubbling” was a combination of pitched up dancehall riddims (140 bpm) mixed with samples of “Sranang Pokoe” (local Surinam music). So my parents always played Surinam music when I was younger and later bubbling hit me. So I really grew up with these energetic percussive rhythms. So I guess making kuduro was always in me and this was a good chance to finally get it out!
