About Olof Dreijer

On his own or as one half of the Knife, DJ, producer, and musician Olof Dreijer brings an inventive, often playful edge to electronic music. With the Knife, he and his sibling Karin Dreijer combined electronics that alluded to '80s pop and experimental techno, lyrics that explored queer perspectives, and a mordant sense of humor in subversively catchy songs on albums such as 2006's Silent Shout. His 2010s releases as Oni Ayhun continued the exploratory nature of his music, while his productions, remixes, and DJ sets reflected his knowledge of electronic, pop, and global music as well as his artistic curiosity -- strengths that were also apparent on the steel drum explorations of 2023's Souvenir and the flowing, pitch-bent melodies of that year's Rosa Rugosa EP.
