Biografie
Olli Wisdom is the man behind the psychedelic phenomenon that is Space Tribe. Olli is now based back in London, after 15 years in Australia. Olli has a long career in psytrance music, being there since the dawn of the style. He's one of the most well-known names throughout the worldwide scene thanks to his incredible energy. For over 20 years he's been globetrotting in his most unique of styles. Full fluoro outfits and mind bending, ear tickling, soul stretching music have been his trademark for longer than most people have been dancing.
In the early 80s Olli was the singer in the theatrical Goth/Glam band 'The Specimen' and founded the famous London goth club 'The Batcave'. After the band split up in 1986 Olli went traveling in Asia and in 1988 came to Koh Phangan in Thailand where he first encountered the fantastic electro-driven wild psychedelic parties on the beach. Instantly hooked, he immersed himself into the music and has never looked back. He stayed there for 2 years, DJing, and setting up a small studio to make tracks for the parties, before moving to Goa, India. Over the next 4 years, Olli spent his time mostly in Goa, but now starting to travel around making parties in other places (San Francisco, Switzerland, UK, Japan), spreading the word and turning people on.
In 1993, Olli's brother Miki started Space Tribe clothing in Bali. The fractal fluoro party gear was an instant success, and now you can see it at parties all over the planet.
In 1995 the first Space Tribe tracks were hatched with Simon Posford (Hallucinogen/Sphongle) and everything flowed from there. Olli moved out to Byron Bay in Australia and set up the Rainforest Space Base studio. Space Tribe released the first album 'Sonic Mandala' on Spirit Zone in 1996. Since then Space Tribe has released at least an album a year. In 2004 Space Tribe Music was set up as a record label providing an outlet for Space Tribe releases & compilation albums. He's also making many tracks in collaboration with other artists: GMS (Alien Jesus), X-Dream, Menog, CPU, Psywalker, Electric Universe (ESP), Tristan, Dick Trevor (Green Nuns of the Revolution) & MadMaxx (Mad Tribe). Since 2008 Jon Klein (Specimen, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Sinead O'Connor) has been bringing his sublime guitar skills to Space Tribe live shows and in the studio.
Today, Space Tribe continues to travel all over the world, performing and bringing joy to the thousands of dancers who know exactly why they are there. His sets have lifted the spirit and tweaked the synapses all over the planet from Burning Man to Voov Experience, from the mountains in Japan to the beach in Goa.
