Since 2009, Luis Caballero (@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 (@mandarin-ffr) 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.

Born in 1975, he starts djing in 1995 in France. It’s in Geneva-Switzerland that his career has taken another turn. His jobs as owner of a vinyls shop during the 200’s, event organizer and artistic director of some night-club’s mades him know as nobody how to drive a party. Doing radio shows and djing all over Europe for more than 20 years (A Redbull Tour in Czech Republic still stay is best souvenir), he shared decks with some of famous Dj’s of the past and actual scene as Gene Farris, Onionz, Lil’Louis, Harry Romero, Djul’z, Craig Alexander, Dave Angel, Steeve Bicknell, Terry Francis, Nick Curly and many more…
His sets explore all the trends of undergound electronic music with the sole aim of making people dance, dream and travel. His tracks are always mixed with great precision and he offers a selection as surprising as it is coherent. Ghetto house, dub house, melodic and progressive deep-tech, minimal house and techno are all the component of his music styles.
