M3-O

Moses “M3-O” Olivier is a multi-genre DJ and music producer based in the UK. Moses discovered Happy Hardcore back in the mid-90s and was instantly hooked. From that point on everything in his life revolved around listening to happy hardcore and all forms of “Rave” music. Coming from a musically accomplished family and surrounded by musically active people since birth, he was always interested in more than just listening. Immediately after discovering Happy Hardcore he was interested in how the music was created and performed; even though he didn’t have a clue about either at that time, this didn’t stop him from choosing a DJ name and dreaming of the day he would be able to share his passion. Eventually in 1999 he acquired a pair of KAM belt drive decks and a two channel KAM mixer. With that he was away teaching himself the art of DJ'ing and making weekly visits to Rhythm Nation, the only record shop in his hometown of Doncaster that sold the kind of music he was interested in. After years of making a name for himself recording mixtapes for his friends and performing at house parties, in 2004 Moses, who went by the name of DJ “Kronic” at the time, played his first set at a local event called Generate. Over the next few years Moses went from strength to strength playing main stage at some of the biggest events and venues in his area such as TFI, Uprising, The Doncaster Dome, the legendary Scunthorpe Baths Hall and Doncaster Warehouse to name a few. Around about the same time, inspired by the likes of Scott Brown, Sy & Unknown, Hixxy, Styles, Brisk, Ham, Mark Breeze, UFO and many more he linked up with an old childhood friend, Kevin Instinct, and the two began working together on some early productions. Circa 2008 Moses also began working with Terrence “Topflyte” O’Neil (aka SonicSound) and the two of them began exploring deeper into the modern (at the time) UK Hardcore sound. After a long period focusing on his career aspirations in his day job, and following an unofficial set in the legendary resort of Ibiza, Moses decided in 2014 to put more energy into his music. He immediately overhauled his studio and in 2015 set about developing his skills towards the modern style of DJ’ing and production. Still under his Kronic alias Moses returned in 2015 with several studio mix projects as well as some unofficial track releases. In early 2017 Moses realised he needed to draw a line under the past and start from the beginning. With that he decided to leave the DJ name he chose as a kid. "M3-O" was born. Under his new alias he went to work and had his first label release in the same year. In November 2017 Moses launched his new music brand This Is Our Sound (TiOS) with his track "M3-O feat. V-Star - Feels So Right" (which hit No.9 in the TID Charts). Fast forward to February 2018, Moses had his first No.1 in the TID charts with his track featuring V-Star "From My Heart". By June 2018 Moses had released his first artist album called “Year One”. The following 12 months saw Moses create and feature on a further 8 albums internationally including Al Storm's hugely popular "Dark Shadows" series and his own artist album "Undeniable", which sold out physical copies almost immediately and continues to sell in it's digital format. After a relatively quiet period on the DJ front, in 2019 Moses went international again (but officially this time) when he had the opportunity to DJ at the mighty "Unity In The Sun 2019" festival in Kavos, Corfu. This booking gave major benefits in elevating the TiOS brand to a new level of awareness and set in motion some incredibly positive things. As of 2022 with 6 albums of his own, track features on a further 8 albums, over 100 track releases under his M3-O alias Moses continues to direct the TiOS brand, Promote events, mentor artists and release music relentlessly.
