OSCAR G: LIVE FROM NYC

NERVOUS RECORDS
RELEASE DATE: 29 NOVEMBER 2010


Miami-based dance music legend Oscar G returns with a brand new two-disc set that’s all about New York City.

Disc One of ‘Oscar G Live from NYC’ was recorded live earlier this summer at the NYC super club Pacha. No pre recorded ‘studio mixes’ for Oscar, this set captures the inimitable experience of playing live. The sound of the crowd is intertwined with an impeccable track selection bringing a true sense of the atmosphere and context, so often missing from clinical mix CD’s these days.

Disc Two – worthy of a release on its own – showcases Oscar’s talents as a producer and features 10 brand new tracks including the new single ‘Fuck The VIP’ featuring DMS12 and ‘I’m Movin’ On’ featuring Tamara Wallace.

Recorded and engineered live by Stryke, the live disc is the culmination of months on the road, testing tracks and searching for the perfect mix that works a crowd into frenzy. Several months in the making and nearly 80 minutes in execution, ‘Oscar G Live from NYC’ pulls together the best tracks from Oscar’s tour (with some added editing and mash-ups).

With previous releases such as ‘Space Miami’ and ‘DJ’, Oscar G has carved out his own niche in the mix CD market, releasing mixes that are recorded live and feature all the intangibles that make a great club set. “I honestly believe the only way to truly enjoy electronic dance music is in a live environment. The energy from the crowd is such a huge part of the equation and I find listening to a set with the sounds of the crowd, smoke machines, sirens, etc, just makes it way more interesting. It’s also a testament to the fact that I can rock a room!’

While Oscar G’s previous live compilations were recorded in Miami, this release marks his first New York set to be captured. The decision to move it north was easy when you consider the history of New York City clubbing and Oscar’s influences. “I've had a long distance love-affair with NYC since I can remember and it has given me more musical inspiration than any other city. Plus, legendary NYC DJs like Danny Tenaglia, Junior Vasquez, David Morales, Tony Humphries, Louie Vega, Timmy Regisford and Francois Kevorkian have all taught me how to do what I do. I always feel a sense of responsibility when I play in New York to uphold the legacy built by all those great DJs and I’ve played for many years in New York working to earn their respect.”
