France’s Olympe4000 joins forces with DJ Physical this June to release their new ‘Hack Me I’m Famous’ EP, perfectly blending together their individual high octane styles across five original cuts.
In recent years French producer and DJ Olympe4000 has been steadily etching her mark on the contemporary electronic music scene through her residency radio show on Rinse France, festival appearances and output on her Adrenaline Quality imprint. Here she returns to her own label once again, this time round though, collaborating with DJ Physical, notably known for releases on Shall Not Fade’s Lost Palms sub-label, 1Ø PILLS MATE, Molekül and Life In Patterns among others.
Opening the EP is ‘Sex Symbol Sex Target’, perfectly setting the tone for the EP through a combination of ethereal pads, swinging breaks, murky acid bass and crisp, saturated percussion. Title-track ‘Hack Me I’m Famous’ follows, laying down stuttering trance like melodies and airy atmospherics atop a bouncy bass groove and bumpy drums. ‘Name Drop Me’ is up next, shifting gear back to a frenzied acid lines at its core alongside sporadic amen breaks, cinematic strings and a sturdy rhythm section.
‘Free Access To Nothing’ then sees the duo veer into deeper realms with delicate synth textures and twitchy arpeggios floating atop choppy bass stabs and heavily swung percussion. ‘Out Of The Race’ then rounds out the release, fully embracing a jungled tinged aesthetic this time courtesy of roots reggae vocal lines, heavy doses of sub bass and the genre’s iconic shuffled drum breaks.
