Dj
Obliveus
His mates call him OB1 or OB, though Eric, Big Daddy or Sir is also cool with him! OB comes from San Jose, California, but has lived in Melbourne, Australia for the past 9 years and began throwing parties soon after arriving.
OB mainly plays
an infectious blend of funk, hip hop, dancehall, Motown soul,
reggae, disco, edits, pop and just about anything else he
can use to work the room. The one thing you can say about
OB's style is that he's hard to define; yet always plays
to the crowd and will pull out whatever it takes to get the
party jumping. Assuming that's what is required. If it’s the after work dinner vibe to full-on dance floor craziness or vice-versa, Ob can take it that way and has been doing it for many years.
Since
moving to Melbourne, OB has held down residencies at club
nights like Out Of Order, Fractured, Destroyer, Break Rock
City, Prime Mover, Sound Check and Regrooved. OB was also
behind a party called Beats Working for 5 years before leaving
to pursue music more in touch with his weird nature.
OB
has also rocked plenty of sets at festivals such as Earthcore,
Rainbow Serpent and Adventjah and was fortunate enough to
have his eclectic mix played on Triple J national radio as
part of Nicole Foote's 'The Mixup'.
You
can catch Ob with regular sets and residencies at Section
8, The Penny Black, Bimbo Deluxe, Phoenix Bar, Veludo, Murmur,
Campari House and First Floor, so keep your eyes and ears
out, if interested.
OB
also writes a funk/soul column monthly in Inpress Magazine,
The Get Down, as well as doing graphic design work for USA
based clothing company, Fresh Knox. As a sign of OB"s eclectic
nature, his music career has seen him support and play with
many of the top names in breakbeat, hip hop, dancehall, drum'n'bass
and live music. DJ's and producers like Andy C, Plump
DJ's, Pendulum, Marky, Freq Nasty, Katalyst, Fort Knox Five,
