OSCAR G: the South Beach Invasion
Oscar G, one-half of Murk, Liberty City and Funky Green Dogs, is
regarded as one of America's most successful DJs and producer /
remixers. For over a decade, he has created literally hundreds of
original productions and remixed the A-Z of the biggest-selling music
artists in the world. The signature Murk sound is created with a dark
feel, sultry tribal drums, pulsating basslines, unforgettable melodies
and soulful vocals. Their songs are simply legendary. Oscar and partner
Ralph Falcon forged a friendship in the second grade in Miami. They
both began to DJ as teenagers and have worked non-stop towards their
dream of reaching people with their music. They gained inspiration and
education by listening religiously to house greats like Frankie
Knuckles, Tony Humphries, Junior Vasquez and their long time mentor /
friend Danny Tenaglia. Growing up deeply rooted in their Cuban-American
heritage while living in Miami, they got off to their true start in the
winter of 1991, when Murk Records first stormed onto the dance music
world with their debut collaborative creation, "You Got Me" as The
Intruders. From that moment on, Oscar and Ralph went on to create an
assembly of house classics that would forever be instilled in dance
music history. From the eternal impact of the Sound Factory classic,
Liberty City's "Some Lovin'", to the Billboard chart-topping staple by
the Funky Green Dogs: "Fired Up!", to the 2003 Twisted global epidemic
known as "Dark Beat", the Murk sound has truly been heard across the
globe. Their music has compelled the likes of Madonna, Depeche Mode,
Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, Pet Shop Boys, Jennifer Lopez and Donna
Summer to request remixes. Oscar G is widely considered to be one of
America's premier DJs. From regular appearances in Canada to Pacha New
York to memorable summer sets in Ibiza for Pacha, he is a seasoned
performer.
