ODDD1 is a DJ from Costa Rica who emphasizes mixing deep, dark, and hypnotic techno. He aims for immersive sets driven by a passion for storytelling. His performances evolve slowly, pull listeners inward, and explore the darker corners of techno. Each mix is designed to be an experience: atmospheric, entrancing, and mind-bending.

As the global scene shifts toward faster and heavier trends, ODDD1 draws inspiration from deviating from that current, seeing the need to preserve spaces where techno remains true to its roots—hypnotic, deep, and atmospheric.

One of ODDD1’s missions is to bring more visibility to darker and experimental techno in Costa Rica, where the scene is still small and many venues hesitate to explore beyond the mainstream. Through carefully curated sets, ODDD1 aims to open doors for the sounds that aren’t always given space.
