Tony Ollivierra is an underground hero from Detroit, who in addition to releases as Ibex on his Ibex Music and Northside District imprints, had some respected editions on the likes of Planet E around the turn of the millenium. He donned the DJ Slym Fas alias around 1996 - 1997, when he produced three EPs which have been much sought after in recent years. These unearthed jams come courtesy of STEP: the new vinyl-only label from the founders of PETS - Catz n Dogz. From the bleepy and lo-slung "Motion Activation", the emotive hi-tech soul of "Amphibious (Green)" or the epic futurism of "Functional Apparatus" calling to mind the work of local legends such as Derrick May or Juan Atkins.
