Since 2009, Luis Caballero has been managing Oceanic Recordings. With almost 300 releases to date, the label has stood the test of time but has kept its initial vibe and remains at the forefront of the underground. Oscillating between house, tech-house and deep-tech, all the young talents from Chile, Venezuela and more broadly South America have made the label famous. Recently joined by Mandarin at the helm of the label, Oceanic Recordings is further diversifying and opening up even more to the emerging international scene focused on minimal house.
