16 Bit Lolita's is a production alias of progressive house DJs and producers Peter Kriek and Ariaan Olieroock. Producing since 2003 the pair have established a reputation for left field, intelligent progressive productions which are frequently licensed to leading dance compilations.

Early Years: 2003 to present

Peter Kriek and Ariaan Olieroock had both started careers as solo producers before they formed 16 Bit Lolita’s in 2003, releasing their first single the same year: ‘Trading Places’ (Extrema 2003).  Over the following years they released a solid stream of electro tinged, deep progressive tracks that blurred the boundaries between progressive house and progressive trance.

The dup released their debut album in ‘Bodywarmer’ (Extrema 2006) with one CD as 16 Bit Lolita’s and the other as one of their other production aliases Lost Orchestra. 

After years of releases and steadily building DJ support and critical acclaim 16 Bit Lolita’s first big success came with the single ‘Non Verbal Language’ (Hope Recordings 2007) including the dreamy electro track ‘Back To One'.
In 2007 Kriek and Olieroock set up their own record label Bits And Pieces focused almost entirely on releasing their own material.

 16 Bit Lolita’s most successful track to date came one year later with ‘Nobody Seems to Care’ (Anjunadeep 2008) featuring the ethereal vocals of Jennifer Horne. 

The 16 Bit Lolita’s career has progressed in a similarly steady and understated manner as their musical style.  While some other progressive artists have pursued the mainstream with epic vocal productions 16 Bit Lolita’s have pursued a more left field, less obvious sound that they have made their own.
