	Olympic Lifts Hailed as a force mightier than truth itself, Olympic Lifts have already bagged an album deal for bastard electro pop label Bungalow Records in Berlin (home of Stereo Total, Mina & Le Hammond Inferno). In late 2001 they decamped to Berlin’s legendary Hip Hop Studio "Amber" to record their first long player, Do One, which was then mastered by no other than Howie Weinberg in NYC. The band took their name from an orphaned sign left by the roadside and Olympic Lifts haven't stopped pilfering and re-appropriating what others have cast aside since. Straight outta Belfast, they are set to achieve maximum devastation as their stoned beats merge with cop show breaks and rhymes fly off the handle. Samples surface and play tag with guitar riffs, never missing a beat. Like dreaming with the telly, radio and stereo on. Olympic Lifts' music is a simultaneous soundclash. Eclectic, eratic and definitely fantastic, they have shared the stage with DJ Kool Herc, David Holmes, Midfield General, Deadly Avenger, 3rd Eye Foundation and Lo Fidelity Allstars, to name but a few. DJ Mark has also worked his decks for Fourtet, Mekon, Skylab, Make Up and Attica Blues as well as Djing at the launch of David Holmes' LP and the Ash end of tour aftershow partay. Sure their rappers are jumped up on alco-pops but they have somehow managed to make pop music it's possible to look cool dancing to. Sadly, they look daft and their hair's a little too long for the gangsta lifestyle they mess around with. Rumour has it that the band was originally founded to pay off drink debts owed to the notorious Belfast booze taxi service and that the band play at all is testament to their superhuman will power as they only have four thumbs between the five of them. watch the "Horizontally / Vertical" video: real 56k/isdn  real dsl More info (external link)
