Rephrase biography and discography

rephrase music
Rephrase is the name given to Sydney producer/musician Jaime Olsen.

Starting his production career in 1999, Jaime entered the Australian leg of the Roland Groovemaster competition and won an endorsement allowing him to expand his humble bedroom studio.

Joining forces with an old band mate in 2001 he formed Sydney breaks group Db Chills. They signed their debut album "BrokenSound" to Stephen Mallinders (Cabaret Voltaire) label Offworld Sounds in 2002 and were nominated for a DMA that same year.

With Db Chills taking a break in 2003 Jaime focused on producing his debut solo album "Beatcoaster" under the name Rephrase.

December 2003 saw the release of a 12" EP on Sydney label Casa Del Discos. This release managed to fall into the hands of some established djs from around the globe including John Stapleton (Dope on Plastic), Gilles Peterson & Miguel Migs (Nrk)

The album finally dropped in January 2005 with the tracks "Mink" & "The Concert Begins" being embraced by local radio stations Triple J and FBI.

Throughout 2005 Rephrase tracks appeared on numerous compilations both here and overseas with the highlight being the inclusion of the track "Boulevard" on London label Jack to Phono's "Who Shot Jacques Laverne Vol. 2" compilation.

2006 looks promising for Rephrase with a new album due in September and a series of 12" releases on Sydney label Knowfoowl as well as a new live line up featuring Jimi Polar on Keys and Noel Boogie supplying the cuts.
Also in the pipeline are remixes for Bah Samba, Flevans, Beatphreak, All Good Funk Alliance, Kurtis, Tom Eno & Kidzen.

(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love.

Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
