Essentially, Dollar is still doing what he's always done, but his life has changed dramatically we find out while chatting over coffee in a trendy downtown spot during Miami Music Week…ĭo you still feel Miami is a relevant place for us all to come? Hammered on the radio and even at weddings, now Dollar is getting picked to play house on the main stages of EDM festivals, all while playing “cooler” gigs of his choosing, including regular sets at Panorama Bar. Last year, after teaming up with Swiss DJ Jimi Jules to put out ‘Pushing On’, an infectious house beat with a sample of Alice Russell for Defected, he found himself once again at the top of the Beatport charts, placing at No.15 in the UK singles chart. However, around the time of ‘Doin Ya Thang’ he was considering giving up music altogether, until its unexpected success encouraged him to continue. For the best part of the ‘00s immersed in the fidget house scene, Dollar quickly became known as a master of the sample. He grew up in Barth, two hours from Berlin, where Jan Driver, his cousin and producer for Boys Noize Records and Grand Petrol, introduced him to big-room progressive house at the age of 11 and eventually sold him his first synthesizer. Up until that point, Oliver Siebert (Dollar) had been living in Berlin and slogging away for years as a DJ, releasing on labels like Man Recordings, Jessie Rose’s Made To Play and its ‘real house’ spin-off Play It Down. As a result, he ended up scoring 50% of royalties. At what point does sampling become plagiarism? It's a common question in dance music, but with few occasions has the debate become as contentious as with the release of ‘Doin’ Ya Thang’ by Oliver Dollar in 2011.Ī raw, groovy bootleg involving a played-out sample of Moodymann live on the mic at a gig in Manchester, it had DJs and dancefloors alike going nuts, but not without raising a few eyebrows, including that of the Detroit DJ whose voice was unknowingly borrowed - some say pilfered.
