Airwave - A Touch Of Grace - Original Mix

With the arrival of Oscar Sanchez, Meet Recordings proudly welcomes a newcomer who is anything but inexperienced. His debut single “Donkeyhead”, accompanied by “Forked Tongue” and “Yaco,” captures the unmistakable spirit of late-90s and early-2000s techno: raw, deep, rolling, and hardgroove-driven. It’s a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh precisely the kind of energy today’s floors are craving.

From the first bar, “Donkeyhead” showcases Oscar’s signature touch: rugged drums, hypnotic momentum, and a timeless groove architecture that pays tribute to an era when techno was at its purest. “Forked Tongue” reinforces this direction with bold percussive tension, while “Yaco” brings a stripped yet infectious rhythm that DJs will immediately understand as peak-time material.
One thing is certain: clubs and DJs can look forward to serious, no-nonsense techno, exactly what you’d expect from an artist like Oscar.

About Oscar Sanchez:

Oscar Sanchez has been immersed in electronic music since the early 2000s. At just 16, he began honing his craft on Akiyama turntables and stacks of vinyl, practicing tirelessly in his room while recording and replaying Loca FM’s legendary “Techno Culture” program on his Walkman. These formative years shaped his deep understanding of groove, momentum, and the physicality of techno.

Throughout his journey, Oscar has shared the booth with some of Spain’s most respected names—Cristian Varela, Cristian Wünsch, Nuke, Pelacha, Raúl Parra, among many others. He has performed at emblematic venues such as Family Club and Área 42, and appeared at festivals including Oasis Summer Festival, solidifying his reputation in the central Spanish scene.

Since moving into production in 2017, Oscar has released on an impressive list of labels including Unity Records, Kneaded Pains, Dolma, Crash, Transfiguration, WRD, Vezotonic, Plastic Toys, Beats HD, Black Square, Elektrax, Xelima, Diffuse Reality, and has built strong collaborations with Kneaded Pains, MEUK, 09Recordings, The Acid Mind, Say What? and Sway. His catalogue reflects versatility, precision, and a deep connection to the roots of techno.

Conclusion

With the Donkeyhead EP, Oscar Sanchez delivers a powerful debut on Meet Recordings—a release that bridges eras, channels raw authenticity, and positions him as one of the most compelling voices in the new wave of hardgroove and deep rolling techno.
This is only the beginning, and the future looks incredibly promising.
