Olav Basoski

“By Martin Sitter

As a house music producer myself, there's very few people I look up to as much as Olav Basoski. Let me tell you why ...

In 1998 I was living in the UK. One night I found myself at "The End" in London, and this MONSTER track came on the PA. It was the type of track that changes your entire view of how a genre should be ... a big, filtered bass line, smacking kick, and a vocal that peeled through my ears, sintering itself into my mind. That track was "Getting Around," by Olav Basoski.

I've followed Olav's music for years, collecting AFAIK all of his records (at the time). In fact, I've played more than a few sets that were 100% Olav traxx. So it was with some awe that I found myself looking at Olav's name on the macProVideo.com order list, a few years ago. Since that time, I've been working on Olav to do a "mixing electronica" tutorial for us, and my wish has finally come true!

Olav Basoski is the "grand signeur" of Dutch house music. He is the founder of several legendary House labels, including Work Records, Samplitude Records & Rootz Records.

Besides his own imprints, Olav is an active and prolific remix artist with over 100 remixes to his credit. In fact, Olav's remix roster reads like a who's who of electronica: Moby, Armin van Buuren, Todd Terry, Phats and Small ... even James Brown & Bob Marley have had the special Olav treatment applied to their sound.

But the single most important thing to know about Olav is the blasting funk and the incredible energy he brings to a dance floor. If you like house music, you MUST see Olav play. But don't take my word for it ... listen to his music and check out his latest tour dates by visiting his website:

"I really enjoyed this tutorial. If like me, purchasing third party plugins can be a bit of an expense that you can't afford right now, then this tutorial will really help you to utilize Logics plugins, especially compression."

"I have 19 tutorials from macprovideo so not everything in this was new. But a lot of it was. I was hoping there would be even more workflow tips like those given in the preview videos. Quick little shortucts is what i was expecting. But it actually felt more like a TNT series in that it went over a lot of creative things rather than just ways to get around the program. I don't do this style of music so this wasn't as useful for me, but still informative. I definitely recommend it. It is well taught."

"Hey Olav, you did it again! I'm gettin' it down. Can' t wait till the next one!"

- Martin Clay / Feb 2nd

"Like a number of other reviewers I found this tutorial excellent. Having only recently started using Logic I found the workflow tips extremely useful and relevant to my style of music production. Olav's presentation style is both educational and inspirational. Full marks, another quality tutorial product."

- Dave C / Feb 2nd

"This is exactly the type of tutorial I've been needing! Packed with loads of great workflow techniques and tips on ways to make tracks sound PHAT! Olav lays it down clearly and quickly, getting straight to the point...which is what I should be doing right now...Fantastic! 5 stars and roll on volume 2!"
