A producer, vinyl-only DJ, and label founder, @hectoroaks emerged from Madrid’s underground dance scene, later moving to Berlin to become one of the most sought-after selectors on the international club circuit. 

His mix for this month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show explores the edges and planes of unfiltered techno, with a selection of tracks taken from his labels OAKS and KAOS. As ever, the mix is accompanied by an interview, where Oaks discusses his early love of 80s synthpop, countryside raves in Madrid, and why he’s chosen vinyl as his medium.
