"They were wild and crazy years." The Spanish techno icon discusses his early years in Madrid, running record labels and staying true to his sound for more than 30 years.

Spanish DJ and producer Oscar Mulero is a legend of underground techno. Since starting to play parties and make music more than 30 years ago, he's earned a reputation as an anti-conformist tastemaker who's adamantly stuck to his guns. While his trajectory began with Madrid's goth and punk clubs in the '90s, he eventually found techno in the early '00s and started two labels, PoleGroup and Warm Up, as homes for the hypnotic, spaced-out sound that's become his signature. 

In this RA Exchange, Mulero reflects on the early days of the Spanish techno scene and how it's evolved, as well as his own roots and influences. Today, the artist is as active as he's ever been, he discusses how he's maintained longevity as an artist in the face of changing trend, as well as his best practices for making music at home and on the road. Listen to the episode in full.

Locked in and coming of age in a pre & post-COVID ravesphere, Wali/Wareshevik shows no signs of slowing down but will still cede his will to that of the dancefloor, whether as a raver or DJ. Weaving through techno, EBM and darker, glitchy & industrial sounds in his sets, Wali still enjoys mixing & dancing to anything within the spectrum of electronica including synthpop/wave, grime/dubstep, trance, house, glitch hop/IDM, jungle/breakbeat, Balti/Jersey club, juke/footwork, and Bollywood/South Asian influenced sounds.
