Oscar G, one-half of the legendary production team known as Murk, and current resident at Club Space in Miami is releasing his 2CD + DVD set today, aptly titled DJ (dē'jā'). The release features brand new Original Artist Album, DJ Mix and DVD – captures the artist raw and completely of the moment -so of the moment, that it was recorded and filmed live from Space Terrace during one of his infamous Sunday morning after-hour sessions.
At a time when most dance labels are cutting costs, stripping back and going digital only, Nervous Records has their own idea of how to do business in a rough climate – offer more! That's the rationale behind Oscar G's whopping new three-disc effort, DJ (dē'jā'). But it's not only offering more, it's offering more of a good thing. Oscar's project comes without the influence or suggestions of his record company. This is 100% from the mind of Oscar G and offers a comprehensive and honest look at what's made this artist a sensation at home in Miami and via the global dance charts.
Disc 1 features 10 brand new Oscar G original productions. Those familiar with Oscar's chart topping work with Murk partner Ralph Falcon will be surprised by Oscar's new direction. While tracks like "Stuck On You (featuring Stryke)" and "Your Love (Featuring Tamara Wallace)" will appeal to fans of solid vocal house, there's also a surprise in store for those into dance's music minimal side. "Innosence" is a solid piece of minimal 4/4 electronic music wound tightly with all sorts of lovely bleepy things and gorgeous melodies. It's beautiful stuff and the product of Oscar G's recent shift from analog to digital gear.
Disc 2 offers a look into Oscar G "The DJ." This mix was recorded live and represents Oscar G's DJ set on the Space Miami Terrace at 7AM on @ Sunday morning – peak time. A Space resident DJ for nine years, this mix CD offers a look into what this world renowned residency is all about. The disc is programmed with tracks that can only be described as "the Miami sound." Oscar chose tracks from many friends and fellow Miami producers including Christian Falero, Ralph Falcon, Lazaro Casanova and more. If the artist album and DJ mix doesn't give you enough of a picture, then flip over to Disc 3 for a video documentation of an evening of music conducted by Oscar G at Space Miami.
