Since starting in 2012 Los Pastores' Oblack has released music by some of the scene's most well-known talent, with appearances from Robsoul Recordings founder Phil Weeks, Endless owner Luca Bacchetti and Dogmatik Records boss Alex Arnout. Deep Vibes label head Sascha Dive and German producer Christian Burkhardt now join the ranks with a collaborative release, previously working together on Raum...musik, Freebase Records and Burkhardt's own label CB Sessions.

The release opens with whipping snares and as bouncing bassline in 'Chordrush' before dubby synths ebb and flow throughout, moving into the mesmerising 'Craigser' where soothing chords join echoing effects. Tying it all together, Los Pastores put their spin on 'Craigser' by taking the track into more percussive territories, adding breakbeat inspired drums and a variety of samples.

From 2012 the label Oblack was set up as an exclusive platform of music expression of Los Pastores, Snna and Nacho Arauz. From Valencia -if Ibiza excuses us- this label bets on undergound house produced on a digital platform, and especially vinyl. Up until now, several artists have released on the label: Luke Solomon, Justin Harris, Yaya, Tuccillo, Filsonik, Brett Johnson, Jay Haze, Phil Weeks, Djebali, Italoboyz or Neverdogs, among others. Their releases- with the highligts of 'Other Sentido EP’, ‘Smoke Game EP’ and 'Discover Base EP' -have been played by masters such as Luciano, Richie Hawtin, Apollonia, The Martinez Brothers, Loco Dice, Mirko Loko, Catz N Dogz and Ricardo Villalobos. They have currently have put out 19 releases, and they have signed as producers 11 of those in vinyl. At present, their 'Vinyl Only' project is the one they feel the most excited about, in so far as it brings back the most genuine format for djs, the 12”. In this new division they have released their first album- under the name of ‘Los Pastores with collaborations’- in which they have guests as System2, Javi Bora, Aldo Cadiz, Juliche Hernandez and Hanfry Martinez. 


Moreover, since 2013 their already infamous 'Oblack Label Nights' have taken their very own signature all around Spain. In this parties they have shared the dj booth with artists like Yaya, Tuccillo, Phil Weeks, Arado, Andrew Grant, Tato, Filsonik or Neverdogs, organising also their successful and acclaimed dates in Ibiza venues such as Destino, No Name, Sankeys or City Hall in Barcelona. 


Pay attention, always, to Oblack Label, which means delightful dance underground music.
