S.A.F.: My 5 Favorite Techno Tracks Right Now

S.A.F. (Stamcell Altering Frequency) is the altered ego of Olle Hoolboom, born in 1995. Olle has been influenced musically from a young age. Although most of his family is active in the Opera industry, from the very young age of 8 he dreamt about being an electronic music producer someday, mostly after being inspired by producers like Amon Tobin, LFO and Kryptic Minds.

However, it wasn’t until age 16 when he actually started producing himself. After fully focusing on his productions after High school, his first release took place in February 2014 for the Authentic Pew label. More releases followed on the labels such as TXTRL and Sueño Artificial.

The S.A.F. sound is hard-hitting and distorted, and it has been catching the attention of respected peers everywhere. Most recently, NX1, Isolated Lines, Shawn O’Sullivan, Rommek and Israel Vines have all remixed S.A.F.’s ‘The Hunter’ on Ravage Black Series.

Olle currently just about lives in his studio, with many forthcoming releases in the pipeline. Luckily, he took a quick break from music production to share five tracks he is really enjoying at the moment.
