Biography
Neil Ollivierra is a Detroit-born multi-disciplinary artist who composes electronic music as [a=The Detroit Escalator Company] He first appeared in the early Detroit techno scene as the promoter of The Music Institute (1988-89); the legendary underground after-hours club that served as the pre-release audio testing grounds for the Transmat, KMS and Metroplex record labels. A growing acquaintance with resident DJ [a=Derrick May] led to his employment as the [l=Transmat] label manager during the labels' most prolific years (1988-1992), wherein legendary artists such as [a=Carl Craig] , [a=James Pennington], and [a=Stacey Pullen] first exploded onto the global scene. The first album by [a=The Detroit Escalator Co.], entitled 'soundtrack (313),' was released in 1996 on London-based [l=Ferox Records]. The album, now out of print and rare, is considered a cult-classic. The 2nd album by The Detroit Escalator Co., entitled 'Black Buildings,' was Neils' first recording for [l=Peacefrog Records]. Concurrent with the album production, he completed a long-planned series of acrylic oil paintings as part and parcel of the Black Buildings album project. The paintings abstract, monochromatic geometric landscapes were the subject of a solo exhibition at Detroit's Cpop Gallery. Today these paintings hang in homes and corporate environments in Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Paris and London. In 2000, Peacefrog released a collection of early-era recordings and previously unreleased tracks by The Detroit Escalator Co., entitled "Excerpts."
