Oliver Night - Between The Lines (2025)

London-based producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist Oliver Night has released his debut album 'Between The Lines' on Tru Thoughts. This genre-spanning project, which traces the evolution of his sound, blends influences from UK sound system culture with forward-thinking production. The record features notable collaborators, including the legendary Roots Manuva, as well as KAYA FYAH, TREV, Goldbar, Megatronic, David Mrakpor (Blue Lab Beats), and Jay Phelps. Rooted in collaboration and experimentation, the album fluidly moves through broken rhythms (broken beat), soulful textures, jazz chords, and elements of hip hop and house. Key tracks include the energetic "Undefeated" (feat. Goldbar), "Run Like The River" (feat. TREV), the percussive "Friends" (feat. KAYA FYAH), and the broken beat-backed "Boss" (feat. Roots Manuva). Other compositions explore future-disco ("We Are Love" feat. Megatronic) and psychedelic, trance-like jazz ("Trance End" feat. David Mrakpor). A former member of Roots Manuva's Banana Klan, Night is known for appearances at Glastonbury and collaborations with artists like Bel Cobain and Jimpster. His style resists neat definitions, characterized by a distinct "Ollie groove" that ties together the diverse moods and genres. 'Between The Lines' establishes Oliver Night as a versatile and forward-thinking voice in the bruk and soul landscape.
