Oscar G Sets Release

02/22/2008
. (PR) On April 22, legendary NYC underground house label Nervous Records will release Oscar G’s first-ever original artist CD, INNOV8.

As one-half of landmark Miami-based Murk (along with partner Ralph Falcon), Oscar G. is known as one of the most versatile talents in all of dance music. Over the years, he’s produced some of dance music’s all-time biggest hits while also fashioning a style all his own as a DJ. With DJing and producing holding an equal level of importance in defining Oscar’s talent, he created an artist CD that perfectly reflects both sides of the story. INNOV8 is an album of all original material that Oscar G personally wrote, but also arranged, mixed and programmed as a DJ set. It’s a spectacular mix of original song segments, loops, samples, edits, effects and mixed grooves created from the eight original songs featured on the album.

“I feel like dance music is better represented when it is served by a DJ, so this album is an attempt to showcase my original material while also wearing a DJ hat to put it together for the listener. Each track on this album is there not only because I feel it is strong enough as a song, but also because it serves a purpose in the overall DJ mix that binds the album,” Oscar G says.

Musically, INNOV8 reflects Oscar G’s dark side. It feels like a trip through a steamy jungle where the sweat just pours out and the heat never lets up. While there is definitely a tropical/ tribal vibe to the programming, it’s much different than anything you’ve ever heard from Oscar. Many tracks are minimal in nature and it requires complete attention to take in the experience that INNOV8 will provide to the listener. It’s not just about creating eight house tracks. This is about creating a story through house music filled with the up and down emotions of a DJ set.

Tracklisting:
“Angel”
“Pimp”
“Danceflow”
“You”
“Miami”
“Chunky”
“Lookin”’
“Crunchy Haze”
“Anxious”
