Oliver (DJs)


Oliver was an American electronic music production and DJ duo, consisting of Vaughn Oliver and Oliver Goldstein, based in Los Angeles.

Career

Vaughn and Goldstein, were hip hop and scratch DJs in the 1990s. Vaughn, upon moving to Vancouver, started DJing in clubs and radio shows, while Goldstein played in bands and made beats in the studio. While living separately by distance, they communicated by Skype and produced music by sending each other parts via the internet. Oliver has worked with Shakira, Britney Spears, and Kelly Clarkson as a producer and songwriter.
Their debut studio album titled Full Circle, which featured collaborations with Chromeo, MNDR, Sam Sparro, De La Soul and Yelle, was released via Interscope Records on August 25, 2017, alongside singles titled "Heart Attack" featuring De La Soul, "Electrify" and "Chemicals". Speaking about the album, they said "We're not really paying attention too much to what's happening with electronic music." The song "Electrify" has received over 1.8 million streams on Spotify and was included in the official soundtrack of EA Sports' FIFA 17. In the years before 2014, they released the extended plays titled Dirty Talk, Mechanical and Light Years Away. In an interview, Vaughn noted his dream collaborations to be Prince, Quincy Jones and Daft Punk. A remix EP of Mechanical was released, featuring remixes from Tchami, Dillon Francis, Values and Nom De Strip. Their song "MYB" was featured on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show. Earlier in 2017, they featured on the Leon Else song "The City Don't Care", which was released via What Are We Doing/Interscope Records.
On October 23, 2019, Vaughn announced on their official Twitter account that no plans were set for any future albums/tours, and that they hadn't worked together on music for over a year, citing professional issues. Vaughn intends to sporadically release under the Oliver name, but states that his focus has been on producing and sound engineering for other artists.
