One Little Independent Records

One Little Independent Records, or OLI Records, is an independent music label that was founded in 1986 by members of anarchist punk band Crass. Inspired by the DIY principles and anarchistic ideals of independent labels, OLI has always believed in giving complete control to artists who deserve a shot at a wider audience. On June 10th, 2020, OLI underwent a rename and rebranding after its founder announced an apology for the label's historic name and logo, recognizing their contribution to racism.

Since its inception, OLI Records has been dedicated to providing a platform for talented artists from various genres. The label believes in supporting musicians who create unique and innovative music that deserves recognition. With a commitment to artistic freedom and expression, OLI continues to nurture emerging talent while also collaborating with established acts.

As one of the leading independent labels in the industry, OLI Records strives to promote diversity and inclusivity within the music community. By embracing change and acknowledging past mistakes, they are committed to creating an environment where all artists can thrive without fear of discrimination or prejudice. With their extensive catalog of groundbreaking releases and forward-thinking approach, OLI remains at the forefront of shaping the future of independent music.

Gabriel Olafs possesses an exceptional talent for telling a stirring symphonic story through instrumental music. At just 19, the composer and pianist wowed viewers and a live audience on Icelandic TV during his first ever live performance, where he was discovered by Björk’s manager Derek Birkett, announcing a record deal with One Little Indian Records shortly after. 

“My favourite thing is to compose a ‘theme’ for somebody – a character or even a place. A memorable melody that instantly takes you somewhere else” the young musician elucidates. At just 14 years old he wrote ‘Absent Minded’ – an imagined theme tune and subsequent lead single from his debut album of the same name. “I am very visually-minded, and I often compose to an imaginary story or character. You could say my album is a score to a non-existent film.”
