Montreal-based DJ, remixer, and sound engineer Mitch Oliver is at the forefront of the melodic house movement. With over 2 million Spotify streams, Mitch is on a mission to spread positive vibes and unite people through his music, which has been released on prestigious labels such as Glasgow Underground, Kindisch, and TrybesOf. Known for his ability to blend subtle and sophisticated sounds with impactful grooves, Mitch has played at iconic events such as Burning Man and SXM Festival, as well as key clubs across Europe, North, and South America.
Recently, Mitch made history with a ground-breaking performance at the International de Montgolfières festival in Quebec, becoming the first DJ to play inside a hot air balloon at the event. His ethereal track ‘Out of Space’ was part of this unique set, blending seamlessly with the breath-taking aerial views and adding an otherworldly dimension to the performance. The combination of the track’s atmospheric soundscape and the surreal experience of floating in the sky left an unforgettable mark on attendees.
The theme of ‘Out of Space’ reflects the feeling of lacking time in our highly connected era. Mitch aimed to express the need for space – to breathe, to move, and to let ideas flow. He notes, “To be creative, we need space and time. If we don’t give ourselves this space and time, it becomes impossible not only to live healthily but also to have creative ideas.” This idea is encapsulated in the track’s title and lyrics, reflecting the reality of our society today. The lines “Out of Space” and “Out of Time” highlight the need for mental clarity and perspective, while “Gotta Run” emphasizes the importance of physical movement for mental well-being.
