Oscar Ellis

House, progressive house, techno and UK garage are Oscar Ellis's territory. He's a DJ and producer, and he also founded Social Frequency, which brings international artists to small, unusual rooms. That background shows in how he thinks about a night: close quarters, a crowd that's there for the music, and a set that builds. Bring him in for a launch or a late party where people have come for the DJ, not for background noise. Oscar is based in Sydney.
