Oliver Way
Introduction:
EPM’s co-founder and one half of the Detroit Grand PuBahs, Oliver Way has been a recognised figure in the Techno scene for some time.
He has been a DJ since 1991 and subsequently released music under his own name in 1998 on Urban Substance Records before joining the Electro, Techno and Funk outfit Detroit Grand PuBahs in 2002. Taking up the pseudonym “(The Mysterious) Mr O” he has produced alongside Paris the Black FU for their own Detelefunk and Engineroom labels. He has also collaborated with Ben Long (Space DJz) on numerous releases and provided remixes for labels including Torque, Beard Man and BulletDodge.
In 2018 he delivered his debut solo album ‘From The Shadows’ (EPMmusic – EPM63) which drew from a lifetime spent behind the scenes in contemporary electronic music. “I wanted this album to cover the different styles of electronic music that I have been into over the last 25 years taking in dub/reggae, breakbeats, electro, ghetto tech, house and of course techno. Using the PuBahs ethos of an album being an opportunity to experiment and take the listener on a bit of a journey, in this case a musical timeline of my life.” It was followed by a host of outstanding remixes from the likes of Robert Hood, Aphrohead (Felix da Housecat), Scan X, Ben Sims, Plaid, Si Begg, Plaster and Exzakt & BFX.
In 2023 he released the ‘Theta State’ EP on EPM Music which featured a remix from .VRIL, preceded by a limited edition vinyl (exclusively via Bandcamp) featuring four of the ‘From The Shadows’ remixes.
In 2026, EPM celebrates “25 Years of Music” with a compilation of exclusive tracks, including one from Oliver.
