Olivier Weiter – House music’s very own shaman
Barefooted, scruffy and imposingly tall. You are staring at Olivier Weiter from a dance floor, and -whether you like it or not- you are performing wild, animal-like dance moves. You are sweating, you are screaming and you are fusing with attractive strangers. How the hell did you end up like this..?
Do not worry. This is the effect that the man they call house music’s shaman has on people. You are not the first to succumb to his magic, and you will not be the last.
Olivier Weiter’s sets are always hypnotising and sweaty, leaving the urge to lose yourself almost overpowering. Fed by his audience’s energy, he keeps bewitching them with both rolling drum rhythms and melodic dreamy records. Ask any regular visitor of underground house parties in Amsterdam about Weiter and they will testify to this. If they are willing to share their experiences that is..
While deeply rooted in Amsterdam’s obscure underground house scene, Olivier Weiter has grown to become an established name in the broader Dutch nightlife. His uncompromising sets for Cocoon, Time Warp NL, Mystery Land and Sensation have proven that the Weiter show was made for bigger crowds. He is also a more than welcome guest in Berlin, where he has brought his renowned marathon DJ sessions to clubs such as Kater Holzig and Wilde Renate on multiple occasions.
