Spanish techno veteran Oscar Mulero delivers a specially-curated mix for our 184th Global Vibe Radio episode.
Oscar’s DJ career has been as prolific and long-lasting as the evolution of dance music. As a key figure in its development, Oscar has always absorbed new trends and kept his finger on the pulse of electronic dance music, from the end of the ’80s right up to the present day. It is impossible to understand his genius without taking into account the tireless work he has carried out behind the decks for three decades now. Production-wise he’s been releasing records since the late ’90s, with countless 12″ vinyls and several studio albums, as well as many remixes for the best players in the scene.
Oscar runs Warm Up, his very own imprint, since 2000 as well as the label PoleGroup Records since 2004, both of which have reached the 50 releases mark. On 2013 he started a series of live A/V performances under several project names like Light and Dark, Biolive and Monochrome AV. Recent years also saw the explosion of SelecciĆ³n Natural, the project he founded alongside his PoleGroup colleagues Exium and Reeko, as well as touring far and wide, reaching every corner of the globe from Los Angeles for WORK presents to the depth of South America, from every significant techno city in Europe to far-flung Japan, all cementing his status as one of the most respected and sought-after techno pioneers of the last two decades.
Meeting Oscar in LA earlier this year was somewhat of a surreal experience for me personally. I had long respected his artistry and had lost myself on dance floors in Europe listening to him play on several occasions and, not knowing what to expect ahead of picking him up at LAX, my mind raced through various subjects we could possibly talk about. With three decades of industry experience, what would he be like? What would he think of LA and the party that night? Was he as “hardcore” as he looked in the pics with his tattoos and punk-rock style?
Needless to say, at least to anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Oscar, all my expectations and doubts were thrown out the window the minute we introduced each other. The man in front of me was kind, attentive, talkative and as genuine as they come. He was as interested in me, and the LA techno scene he was about to play for, as I was in him and his music. He may have been doing this for 30 years and he has likely “seen it all,” but the impression I got as we got to know each other more, was that of a young artist still eager to prove himself, of an artist with a clear mission in mind when it comes to techno.
Oscar returns to the United States on Nov 8th and 9th to perform two important gigs, info for which can be found below.

Our time together impressed me so much that we kept in touch, and he immediately took up my invitation to contribute to 6AM’s mix series as well as to sit down for an exclusive interview to accompany it.
