Olof Dreijer (b.1981) is a member of The Knife. Now based in Berlin, he performs minimal techno shows as Oni Ayhun, previously as DJ Coolof.
Olof Dreijer is a producer, DJ, musician and member of The Knife who has been pushing the borders of electronic music for two decades, keeping things fun and colorful. Over the past decade, when he’s not been busy producing music, Olof has been DJing throughout Europe at clubs and highly-respected international festivals. At the turn of 2010, Olof started working as Oni Ayhun, a secret pseudonym that explored more experimental directions and played with gender. In 2015, Olof toured with Paula Temple, rRoxymore and Planningtorock as Decon Recon, a project that played with hierarchies in electronic music. Decon Recon’s music was made with a communal pool of sounds, not knowing who had done what. Olof is currently active producing other artists and teaching music production. He recently finished producing Tunisian multi-instrumentalist Houeida Hedfi’s album for Phantasy Sounds. He’s also worked with Swedish(-Kurdish) pop artist Zhala, their track “Holes” was released on Konichiwa Records. More music from Olof and Zhala will follow soon. Olof also delivered a remix of Zhala’s ‘Holes” and 2020 has seen further reworks from him of Moroccan artist Mehdi Bahmad’s "Rouge A Levres," ”Ti Chuong” from Sudanese artists Emmanuel Jal and Nyaruach and the Royksopp and Robyn collaboration “Monument.” Current Olof Dreijer DJ sets feature a tight mix of all kinds of grooves he likes to dance to himself, ranging from funky Techno and melodic house to Baile Funk and Batida.
