Oscar Mulero’s DJ career has been as prolific and long lasting as the development of dance music. As a key figure in this evolution, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the 80’s right up to the present day.
It is impossible to understand the phenomenon of this DJ in Spain without taking into account his tireless work behind the decks for more than a decade.
Oscar began as a DJ at the end of the 80’s in Madrid, in the most experimental clubs of the city such as Imposible, Capital, Kitch and Babia, playing Gothic Rock and EBM, the most important styles at the time. In the 90´s he began to play at the legendary club New World (Madrid).
The mid-eighties, Madrid. The Spanish capital is teeming under the grip of a musical explosion the likes of which has never been seen before. In the midst of that rabid swirl, a teenager, unknown and unassuming, enters a record shop to blow his savings on an album, Standing on a Beach, by The Cure. Little did he know that this was to be his first step on the long and difficult path to becoming one of the country’s essential djs.
He soon became a familiar face in the dj booths of the most exclusive underground clubs of Madrid, but the best was still to come and the first chapter was called New World, his first “proper” job.
