Tonight at 21:00 (+2 GMT) is the second part of the BKI-23 that started yesterday with Dave Angel's new mix. Today two mixes follow the BKI concept which sees one of UK’s most respected producers of House music, Jamie Anderson and a newcomer live set by Antonio Olivieri…

There are few electronic music lovers that haven’t already heard Jamie Anderson’s work. He has proved himself as a long-term force to be reckoned within the dance music scene, not only through his own broad spectrum of production talents across the colours of dance music but also from his exceptionally high quality DJ and live performances around the globe.Jamie first made his name internationally in the early 90’s and quickly became a recognised pioneer of the UK Tech-House scene. Coming from a strong musical background growing up around musicians in West London and training in improvisation and keyboards with Bristol based Jazz aficionado Dave Buxton, Jamie set up Artform Studios where he engineers and produces the majority of his work and collaborations. His groundbreaking debut album was released in 2001; Jamie Anderson ‘Blue Music’ (NRK), and recent collaboration album with Deepgroove ‘13Machines’ (Harthouse).
Additionally Jamie can be found producing under various pseudonyms with other artists lining up to work and be part of his productions and collaborations. He has joined forces to work on studio projects with artists such as Jesse Rose, Owain K, Jerome, Louis Osbourne, Deepgroove and Switch. Jamie is also the co-producer for the successful Idiotproof project signed to Jesse Rose’s Made to Play label. Remixes for Nick Holder, Riva Starr, Armand Van Helden, X-Press 2, Michel De Hey, The Hacker, Paolo Mojo, Francois Dubois, Onionz and Audio Bullys have expanded his appeal as an in-demand producer.
As a DJ and Live act, his legendary performances at Berlin’s Panorama Bar, Dance Valley Festival in Amsterdam, Zouk in Singapore, Love Parade San Francisco, Cocoon and System in Leeds along with tours of Asia, USA, Europe and South America have all contributed towards establishing his strong fan-base. Having never allowed himself to be pigeon-holed or categorised, instead he looks forward to create new sounds rather than follow trends. For this reason alone is why Jamie is one of the world’s most exciting and innovative artists.
The last two years have seen Jamie Anderson release on some of the world’s most influential labels: Sven Väth’s Cocoon, Jesse Rose’s Front Room & Made to Play, Alter Ego’s Klang Elektronik, Radio Slave’s Rekids, Louis Osbourne’s Mija Recordings and Ireland’s finest house label Elevation Recordings. This year he re-launched his Artform label with new Artist signings and fresh re-design and now co-runs Amsterdam’s legendary Outland Records with an exciting release schedule. A new artist album is in progress and more outstanding music is set for release in the coming months – Jamie is very much the artist to look out for in 2010.

“Jamie perfectly combines the grooving subtleties of house with the twisted funk of techno.” DJ Magazine

“Jamie Anderson has carved out a reputation as a producer able to mould techno and house grooves into a sound very much of his own.” DJ Magazine (2001)
“…one of the UK’s best at surfing the techno / house hinterland in style.” DMC Update

Antonio Olivieri, born in Italy, is a passionate music lover. Like an already heard story, it all began thanks to his parents who made him study classical guitar for 12 years. Apart from this “guided entry” into the music world, Antonio soon enjoyed the taste of exploring music in an independent way, slowly leaving the classical repertoire for a more genuine and even immature take on autonomous composing.
DJ-ing and producing tracks have been stimulating his aesthetics in both directions, which aided him to appear on 3 records at an early age on the Italian major label Saifam Group. This proved to be a too ‘mainstream oriented’ climate in the end for Antonio.
Tired of the Italian music scene and the social and political situation, Antonio left Italy to study in Munich. In 2008, he moved to Berlin, leaving lots of things behind him and trying to find his peace in a more rational and pleasant German society.
Fulfilling his philological view of the music business and the music itself, Antonio is exclusively performing live sets… a purist approach to the genre, this turns into a groovy and melodic live set which Antonio can freely manage in all of its parts and its arrangement for a more genuine live-feeling.
2010 sees Antonio busy with releases on various labels featuring his typical groovy and melodic style. A symbol of his personal and somehow funny view of music is certainly “Together E.P.” on the German label LustundFreu.de. As he states, his live set is currently becoming “a more dancefloor oriented walk through”funk, tech-house and love aiming at reaching a tasty mix of solid grooves and melody sequences”…
