Space Tribe
Space Tribe is the alias of Goa/psy trance and clothing producer Olli Wisdom. Olli Wisdom, who is British, and now lives in London, has been a pioneer of psychedelic trance for many years. In the early 1980s he was the singer in the theatrical Goth/Glam band The Specimen, and ran the famous London goth club The Batcave. After the band split up in 1986 Olli went travelling in Asia and in 1988 came to Koh Phangan in Thailand where he first encountered the electro-driven wild psychedelic parties on the beach. He stayed there for two years, DJing, and set up a small studio and making tracks for the parties, before moving to Goa, India.
Over the next four years, Olli spent his time mostly in Goa, but starting to travel around DJing parties in other places (San Francisco, Switzerland, UK, Japan). In 1993, Olli, his brother Miki, and Richmond started Space Tribe clothing in Bali. In 1995, the first Space Tribe tracks were hatched in the studio with Simon Posford (Hallucinogen/Shpongle).
Olli moved to the rainforest in Byron Bay in Australia and set up the Rainforest Space Base studio. Space Tribe released its first album, Sonic Mandala, on Spirit Zone in 1996. In 2004 Space Tribe Music was set up as a record label providing an outlet for Space Tribe releases and compilation albums. Space Tribe has also made many tracks in collaboration with other artists such as Sirius Isness, X-Dream, GMS, Menog, CPU, Psywalker and especially Electric Universe, working under the name ESP.
Olli travels all over the world, playing live at parties in a variety of locations such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, South Africa, Israel, America, Thailand, India, Ibiza, Bali, England, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Russia, Portugal and Chile.[1]
