Oriole is one of the pioneers of the Dirty Deal Audio collective; a beat-maker and producer with a unique style. Oriole’s music can entrance even those who hear his music for the first time. He’s a respectable figure in the Latvian hip-hop and electronic music scene. Oriole’s live performances are oozing genuine enjoyment and enthusiasm, that fills the halls with particularly positive energy. Oriole has been making music for more than ten years and is one of the most recognised representatives of this field in Latvia. He marches onto new sonically-experimental territories and ideas that often surprise not only the fans and listeners, but the other members of the collective, as well. Oriole has taken part in more than 100 albums and releases as beat-maker, while in the latter years he’s more often seen and heard playing his beats live. He has taken part in many events and festivals in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland and Norway. His list of inspirations include music, the cosmos, people, good books and conversations; these impressions have helped him conjure up the music than we can enjoy today, be it sample-based or made from scratch.
