Greg Oleksevic aka DJ Wary was born in Poland in 1983.
From the tender age of 16, electronic music has been at the
core of Gregs' world.
His first encounter with the music industry was in 1998,
when he got a job working for DeeJay Music Mag in
southern Poland. He began to experiment with techno
music from that early age and soon it became the driving
force in his young life. Greg started DJing with CDs in 1999
but after just 1 year in 2000 he realised the vinyl was the
way forward. His first residencies were in 2002 in Starowka
and his university's affiliated student club, both in Cieszyn
city. That same year, he set up his own booking agency for
electronic music called PLUR Music Promotions. Through
the agency he began to promote more and more artists
and getting his own personal vision out into the clubs of
southern Poland and soon had his own special crowd.
In 2002 and 2003, he began to co-operate with other
booking agencies to try to corner the market and get his
music out to general public, while retaining a unique sound.
After being offered the opportunity to promote the
biggest ever open air party for electronic music in Tychy
called GIN TONIC, the electronic music
cliche really opened up for Greg and leading on from that,
he went on to host a residency in Pretekst club in Tychy.
This set the stage for Greg crowning achievement to date.
He succeeded in getting his music onto the main stage @
Club Kanty - one of the most important clubs in Poland for
electronic music in December 2003 at 'The Meeting of the
Best Polish DJs', performing a main stage set.
He built on his success and new found popularity, and
was resident in several others clubs and did guest sets at
many festivals in Poland throughout 2004.
Like the way most people start off playing electronic music
in Ireland, Greg played where the people were: open air
rave parties, house parties and wherever else was
available when you aren't well known yet. But things
began to change............
Within the Polish community Greg began to make his
name known. He opened at 'Polished' opening night at the
Turks Head in Temple Bar (new life). He was invited by
John Gibbons from Spin 103.8 to Project 'DOM', the first
big project for the Polish community in Ireland with big
other Polish names on the line up, supported by 4FunTv
(main clubbing channel in Poland) at The Vaults. He was
subsequently invited by Brian Taaffe to Project Revolution
in which he supported Dave The Drummer and Lucca.
From 2005-2007 Greg had residencies in many venues:
- CIRCLE and Electro Mint at Karma (with Dr Smile)
- INTEGRATION at Spirit
- Revolution and DOM at The Vaults (with Brian
Taaffe and John Gibbons)
- Frazers Basement - Circle
- Ocean Café - Basspressure (with Gabi Kardos)
- BBL - a well known Polish party place in south
Dublin
- Since 2007 Greg has been known as a DJ by his full
name Greg Oleksevic, promoting a vibrant party
scene amongst the Polish community,
introducing DJs like, Dr. Smile (house), Gabi
Kardos (electro/techno), Adriano K - (minimal /
electro) to PLUR Music Promotion Collective.
In 2007/8 PLUR Music Promotion Collective through the
stewardship of Greg Oleksevic branched out and
created ISI (Irish Party Service) for Polish in Ireland,
(www.isi.fora.pl).
Greg himself headlined at many gigs throughout
the country. He played also in Northern Ireland and
regularly back in Poland where he maintained his
grass roots.
He had 2 tours IRL vs PL, in October- November 2007
with Brian Taaffe, and April-May 2008 as a solo headliner.
At present, in partnership with his brother Adam (DJ
Lesar), another accomplished DJ back home in
Poland, they are concentrating on a new project with
2 DJs playing on 4 decks called GA Compound with
digital releases due out this year.
This and upcoming projects will be put together
using the best of modern music technology and much
more to come.
