Career edit

Dada Life edit

Dada Life is a DJ duo consisting of Olle Cornéer and Stefan Engblom. The group's major hits include "Rolling Stones T-shirt", "Happy Violence", "Kick Out The Epic Motherf*cker", "Unleash the F*cking Dada", "White Noise / Red Meat", "Feed The Dada" and their remixes of "Dynasty" and "Llove" by Kaskade (feat. Haley), "Big Bad Wolf" by Duck Sauce, "Who Is Ready To Jump" by Chuckie, and "Prutataaa" by Afrojack and R3hab.

Dada Life additionally hold two Guinness World Records, for the world's largest pillow fight[2] and the largest gathering of people dressed as fruit[3]

Name edit

Dada Life is named after the Dada art movement in 20th century Europe. Dada was a form of artistic anarchy fighting against the cultural, political, and social values of the time.[4] In the same way, Dada Life and rave culture as a whole is a protest to return to the experience of the body and away from the capitalistic and rationalist dogma of today's society.

Night Gestalt edit

Night Gestalt (named for the German psychological therapy practice) was launched in 2015 after Olle was diagnosed with cancer.[5] Night Gestalt is described as "everything Dada Life isn't" and has so far released an eight-track debut album entitled One.

Dibaba edit

Dibaba is a solo-project from Olle focusing on house/techno music. Dibaba has released more than ten EPs, one album, and numerous remixes, on labels such as Gigolo Records, Deeplay Soultec, PIAS, Ninja Tune and Compost.[6]

Art Projects edit

Bacterial Orchestra was released in 2006 as a "self-organizing evolutionary musical organism".[7] The installation consists of several audio cells, with every cell listening to its surroundings and picking up sounds, trying to play together in a musical way. The musical material comes from the background noise, people talking or sounds played by other cells. One installation (Public Epidemic No 1) received an honorary mention at File Prix Lux 2010 (Interactive Art) [8]

Released in 2008, Chambertronica is the meeting of three chamber musicians and three electronica-artists, initiated by Håkan Lidbo, George Kentros, Olle Cornéer, Anna Petrini, Mika Takehara, and Lisa Nordström.[9]

In 2011 Olle released "New Flesh Network" [10] a musical performance for traditional choir, controlled via a network by the artists in real-time. Every person in the choir wears a pair of ear muffs canceling out all sounds, making them hear only the instructions that they individually receive in their in-ear headphones.
