As one half of the Murk Boys , Oscar G. has remixed the likes of pop stars such as Madonna, Seal, Donna Summer, Jennifer Lopez and Pet Shop Boys ..On the production front Murk have been responsible for eight Billboard ..1's including club anthems such as "Fired Up" and the ever popular "Dark Beat". Along with long time partner Ralph Falcon, he is in high demand as a songwriter having won 4 ASCAP songwriter awards. His success as a producer/songwriter aside, Oscar's true passion remains DJing. Since the age of 12 ,when he began playing at school dances ,he could only dream of one day playing for thousands of people in the world's top clubs. Now regarded as "one of the most exciting DJs in the world" by Mixer magazine and having played at legendary venues like Ministry of Sound in London, Pacha in Ibiza, Yellow in Tokyo, Echoes in Italy and Twilo and Vynil in New York, his passion remains in tact. In August of 2001 Oscar began his now legendary residency at Miami's world renowned Club Space. His weekly ten hour marathons have become the stuff of legend. He has been able to create an unrivaled following of nearly 3000 Space-heads weekly. In 2003 he was awarded "BEST RESIDENT DJ" by D.J.TIMES and CLUB SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL. In 2004 he was named "BEST DJ" by the NEW TIMES and in 2005 he was voted "BEST HOUSE DJ" and "BEST PRODUCER" at the DJ MUSIC AWARDS. On October 18, Star 69 records released Oscar G’s long awaited new mix compilation, Made In Miami. Look no further than the title of this CD to understand what Oscar G. is all about. He was born and bred in Miami; and is one of the architects of much talked about “Miami sound. Oscar G. was indeed made in Miami and this CD is a window into his world. Made In Miami is Oscar G’s most personal and introspective project to date. Unlike his previous mix CDs – which often only covered a moment in time on the dance floor – Made In Miami was a much more involved process. Oscar received tons of new music from the onset of this project and spent months handpicking the right tunes. After the tracks were selected, Oscar put on his production gloves and made edits, added loops and sampled vocals on to nearly every track. The result is a CD full of tracks he personally enjoys listening to and not one made strictly for the dance floor. “When I selected the tracks for this CD I was trying to pick tracks that represented where I am now as a DJ, but more importantly tracks that I thought would stand the test of time. I was less concerned with having up-front tunes than I was about having GOOD tunes. There is a combination of brand new un-released tracks, tracks that have been big for me on the dance floor as well as a few classics. This is a true representation of how I put my sets together and what I like to hear,” Oscar G. says. When he’s not touring the world, Oscar G. serves as the monthly resident at Miami’s premiere club Space. As one half of Murk, Oscar is busy running two labels – Murk Records and Murk Classics – and continues to deliver as a producer and remixer. This year Oscar G. and Ralph Falcon re-released their 1992 Funky Green Dogs hit “Reach For Me” (featuring remixes from Steve Lawler and Richie Santana / Peter Bailey) and delivered a jaw dropping remix of Lee Coombs “Shiver.” BBC Radio One’s Pete Tong has already labeled the track one of 2005’s finest. As for the future, we can expect more of the same from Oscar G. More DJ sets, more singles and more remixes. All made in Miami. " |
