OB1 (Olly Berry) is a techno producer, performer and DJ from Bristol, UK.

He has been a regular fixture on the Bristol free party and underground club scene since 1996, entertaining the crowds with his own special blend of banging, warehouse-style techno and acid.

OB1 has been playing live techno since 1998, when he played his first live sets at Bristol’s Freakency club night.

He went on to form the Irritant live p.a. with Dr. Chill (MJ12) in 1999. Together they played many club nights, free parties and warehouse raves all over the UK and in Europe.

He has continued to take his solo live act out to underground clubs, parties and festivals in the UK and Europe, playing techno, acid and hardtechno.

OB1 has focused more on studio production in the last few years in addition to playing live acid techno and has enjoyed releases on Isotope Recordings, Sketcha Traxx, Corrosive Records, Coaxial, Braingravy Records, CDJ303, Stay Up Forever Projects, Acid Test, Chase Yer Tail, UK Ruff, AK Recordings and his own label System Rejects.

In 2013, OB1 founded the System Rejects vinyl label along with fellow producers Tassid, Austin Corrosive and MK303. The label was born as a vinyl only outfit, releasing extremely limited edition records featuring the founders’ own tracks (with some special guests). Later in 2013, the imprint launched Digital Rejects, a digital sister label.

In the pipeline are many more releases on a variety of labels, lots of exciting studio collaborations and potentially a brand new live collaboration. And of course parties! See you down the front!

Biri & The Geezer are producing together and producing some fantastic tracks.  You can buy direct from Biri from discogs  here

Techno is a scene that has built a reputation for embracing anyone from every walk of life.  Doesn’t matter if your a doctor, nurse, teacher, soldier, or any other industry, doesn’t matter what race or creed everyone is welcomed into this warm and loving scene.

A movement within the scene has been formed to help stamp out fascism. See the link above for techno tracks made by some well known underground techno producers.

The tracks are free to download but people are encouraged to donate as the money will go towards anti fascist charities.

Acidtechno.co.uk are fully behind any move towards getting rid of fascism out od the scene.

Expect to see antifascist events & releases springing up within the scene in the future.

Liberator DJs

From the rich history of the global Anarchy movement came three DJs and producers who have together brought the free party vibes of techno to the world. Legend has it they are brothers, but these brothers are not blood, these brothers are united by their love of techno raving. London 1992. Chris, Julian and Aaron together became Liberator, dj’ing and organising parties with free festival sound systems such as Spiral Tribe, Conspiracy and Circus Warp who all came together for the UK’s biggest ever free rave event at Castle Morton in the summer 1992.

Soon the Liberators were flying all over Europe connecting with more free party sounds systems from Holland, France and the Cezch Republic, blazing the decks with the techno sounds coming out of Detroit (Underground Resistance, Jeff Mills), Belgium ( CJ Bolland and R&S records ) and of course the UK ( The Hypnotist, Edge records ). London 1994 Stay Up Forever the Liberator record label hit the scene and gave birth to Acid Techno, the uniquely styled sound of the 303 set to a fast and furious groove. From hits like A&E Dept’s “Rabbits Name Was..” to the still massive “One Night In Hackney” from Dynamo City.

Stay Up Forever has become a legendary dance label and now incorporates a label collective which features the Cluster, 4×4, Maximum Minimum, Hydraulix and RAW imprints among many others. The Stay Up Forever label collective is one of the few organizations that still releases 12” records due to the demand of the fans that love the Liberators and their music on vinyl. The Liberators are still playing around the globe from Venezuela to Japan with Chris Liberator appearing twice in DJ Mag’s 100 top DJs. Expect to hear Julian playing unique freak style techno, Aaron and Chris playing party techno all the way to Acid Techno.

The Liberators come to party…. after all they are true ravers.

Acid Techno with Trooper & DJ Spliffy B, David Judda Oliver, Ray Von

★Trooper’s journey with dance music began in 1991 when he was just 16 years of age and was taken out by some older mates to legendary raves such as Elevation, Dance 91, Raindance, Fantazia, Yikes and Interdance, as well as Spiral Tribal and Bedlam sound system parties on the underground free party scene.

During this period, his passion for the music was fiercely ignited and he was introduced to mixing vinyl on the 1210’s by his mate DJ SDR, owner of Shoebox Records. From this point, there was no turning back.

A few years later in 1994, Trooper started getting involved with the local music scene and began working at Ruffhouse Records in Slough, who also ran the Menace sound system. Inspired by these times and meeting new people on route, Trooper started spinning tunes.

Always up for a party, he was given the title nickname ‘Trooper’ as he was always the last man standing and shortly established his turntable skills as ‘DJ Trooper’ on the underground party circuit, playing Jungle and Drum & Bass at various parties in and around London and the South East.

He also used to take a trip up to Music House in Holloway Road, London, and hang out with the top Drum & Bass DJ’s, who went there regularly to cut their latest tracks onto dub plate fresh for the weekend raves. Around this time, he also got involved distributing the ‘Ravescene’ magazine and writing party reviews for raves such as Telepathy, AWOL, Roast, Innersense and Jungle Fever.

Next step in 1996, Trooper and fellow music comrade, DJ SDR, started the record label ‘Freestyle Flava’, experimenting with different styles and beats in the studiounder the guise ‘Point 2’. They produced some great rockers including ‘Wait 1 Minute’, which was featured on Tony de Vit’s ‘Live in Tokyo’ album. In the studio, they also wrote Trip Hop and Broken Beats inspired by Ninja Tune club nights at the legendary Blue Note in Hoxton, London.

After taking a few years out at the end of the 90’s, Trooper returned to the dance floor in the new millennium and got involved with the Hard House scene. The hard beats and vibes reignited the fire in his rave heart, but something was definitely missing until he discovered the underground London squat party Techno scene and from that point it was full steam ahead.

Over the past 10 years, Trooper has gone from raver on the dance floor to playing on many sound systems including Freebase, E1S, Malfaiteurs, Manik, Storm, Hackney Sounds and plays regularly on the Stinky Pink, Hub and Krysis rigs as resident DJ storming the dance floor with his own take on Acid Techno, also enjoying pushing the speakers to the limits on various rigs at Frenchtek dropping the beats that captured his heart all those years ago. But with Trooper’s personal history of dance music and broad musical knowledge, you can also hear him playing a broad spectrum of sounds such as Old Skool 91/92 Rave, Hardcore, Jungle, Drum & Bass, Progressive House, Acid House, Breakbeat and Electro.

Over the last few years, Trooper has been working hard on the London party circuit, playing at club nights such as Smash Techno, Stay Up Forever 100, Stay Up Forever after parties, Philanthropy, Braingravy, Lucid, Soitiz alongside DJ artists such Chris Liberator, Aaron Liberator, DDR, Geezer, Gizelle Rebel Yelle, Rachel Rackitt, Sterling Moss, Birinight, DJ Ant, Jerome Hill, Thermobee, Tassid, A.P, OB1, Austin Corrosive and many more.

And on to top all of this, Trooper has recently returned to the studio, writing tracks with DDR – their track ‘My Face is Melting’ was released on the legendary ‘Hazchem’ label. Since then, he has been back in the studio with Steve Mills and ‘Geezer’ Guy Mcaffer producing tracks for future projects. So keep your ear to the dance floor and listen out for Trooper’s unique energy and sounds.

So there you have it, Trooper is an electric force to be reckoned with, and with his broad musical knowledge to keep you entertained, this music soldier is here to stay. And you know it’s party time when Trooper’s in the house, so you have been warned!
