About Mulero:
The mid-eighties, Madrid. The Spanish capital is teeming under the grip of a musical explosion the likes of which has never been seen before. In the midst of that rabid swirl, a teenager, unknown and unassuming, enters a record shop to blow his savings on an album, Standing on a Beach, by The Cure. Little did he know that this was to be his first step on the long and difficult path to becoming one of the country’s essential djs.
He soon became a familiar face in the dj booths of the most exclusive underground clubs of Madrid, but the best was still to come and the first chapter was called New World, his first “proper” job.
New World sessions were soon all the rave and Oscar entered the studio for the first time to collaborate in the making of the club’s official record, Nuclear Zone. His was a backseat involvement, more as a sound advisor than as a producer. It wasn’t until later on that producing and deejaying became his livelihood. The record went on sale in 1993 and was quite a success, going on to get included in many of the national compilations of the time.

The New World experience finally came to an end. But it allowed for the birth of THE OMEN, which for many was the ultimate club. The Omen was so successful it quickly became a tourist attraction, with clubbers from all over the country coming to Madrid every weekend to enjoy Oscar’s sessions. This led to a change in his career. He gradually moved away from being an important resident dj to a travelling one. He started to travel regularly, taking the Omen sound all over the peninsula. Firstly to the north, and then gradually, to all four corners of the country. It was the beginning of Oscar’s intimate relationship with airports and the road.
And so to the year 1996 and the third Sonar, a festival which had by then become established as one of the most important in the world. For the first time, the name of Oscar Mulero appeared among the list of national invitees, alongside others of his generation such as The Frogmen, HD Substance or Resonic. Sonar 96 served to officially confirm a whole new scene that had until then been in an embryonic state, but which was now being taken seriously for the first time and coming to be viewed as the seed of something solid. At Sonar 1996, Oscar held his own against stars of the stature of Richie Hawtin, Garnier and Mills.
Outside Spain, people started talking about his unique technique and musical selection. Another mission accomplished. And so on to the next phase…

Biography of Oscar Mulero:
The mid-eighties, Madrid. The Spanish capital is teeming under the grip of a musical explosion the likes of which has never been seen before. In the midst of that rabid swirl, a teenager, unknown and unassuming, enters a record shop to blow his savings on an album, Standing on a Beach, by The Cure. Little did he know that this was to be his first step on the long and difficult path to becoming one of the country’s essential djs.
He soon became a familiar face in the dj booths of the most exclusive underground clubs of Madrid, but the best was still to come and the first chapter was called New World, his first “proper” job.
New World sessions were soon all the rave and Oscar entered the studio for the first time to collaborate in the making of the club’s official record, Nuclear Zone. His was a backseat involvement, more as a sound advisor than as a producer. It wasn’t until later on that producing and deejaying became his livelihood. The record went on sale in 1993 and was quite a success, going on to get included in many of the national compilations of the time.

The New World experience finally came to an end. But it allowed for the birth of THE OMEN, which for many was the ultimate club. The Omen was so successful it quickly became a tourist attraction, with clubbers from all over the country coming to Madrid every weekend to enjoy Oscar’s sessions. This led to a change in his career. He gradually moved away from being an important resident dj to a travelling one. He started to travel regularly, taking the Omen sound all over the peninsula. Firstly to the north, and then gradually, to all four corners of the country. It was the beginning of Oscar’s intimate relationship with airports and the road.
And so to the year 1996 and the third Sonar, a festival which had by then become established as one of the most important in the world. For the first time, the name of Oscar Mulero appeared among the list of national invitees, alongside others of his generation such as The Frogmen, HD Substance or Resonic. Sonar 96 served to officially confirm a whole new scene that had until then been in an embryonic state, but which was now being taken seriously for the first time and coming to be viewed as the seed of something solid. At Sonar 1996, Oscar held his own against stars of the stature of Richie Hawtin, Garnier and Mills.
Outside Spain, people started talking about his unique technique and musical selection. Another mission accomplished. And so on to the next phase…
There was life after Sonar. The kind of recognition and support he gained as a result of his successes brought even more work, more travel and more big festivals, such as the Members of Mayday Festival, and culminated in 1998 in his first Session CD (the first CD of its type to be released in our country) entitled About Discipline and Education, released by the Catalan label So Dens, which was at the time closely linked to the organisers of Sonar. The musical selection was, for the time, very advanced and ground-breaking. A blend of the best of the dry, industrious sound of Birmingham, courtesy of people like Regis or Surgeon, and the best US sounds of the era, represented by the likes of Jeff Mills and Joey Beltram. The CD was an huge hit. One of the biggest-selling electronic music CDs in the country ever.
Already a well known name on the underground circuit among the most faithful clubbers, Oscar Mulero now started to appear in media headlines in the specialised and general press alike. Thanks to him, the DJ was now a figure taken seriously by the media who had until then viewed them as just another of the many night works. As he had done so on many previous occasions, Oscar was again opening up doors and blazing trails…

His second work was released in 1999. It was done with GROOF, an experienced producer from Madrid. The two formed the duo Quite Unusual, on the GROOF label Brainwaves. They were well received by critics and also enjoyed good sales. His first release with an international label came in 2000 on the French label Kobayashi. It was his first away match and first away victory!
That very year saw the birth of WARM UP and a couple of years later, its offspring POLE. From then on, all Oscar’s efforts were focused on releasing his own material, whether home or away, on the very best techno labels of the planet, such as Coda, Pure Plastic, Tresor, Sheep, Tsunami and Main Out. That put him definitively on the world techno map. Between 2000 and 2002 he released no fewer than 9 EPs, which lead to a contract with one of the biggest dj booking agencies of the time, Dynamix Booking from Berlin, an agency that also represents some of the best techno artists of the world. From then on, Oscar was seen and heard in clubs and festivals from all over the world, more and more often.
In 2003 he released A Occhi Chiusi on the Pure Plastic label, under the name of TROLLEY ROUTE. This was a totally mental electronic work that was also easy to dance to. That album ended a cycle and confirmed his maturity as a producer.
Since then, he has continued his relentless work producing and remixing with the very best techno labels the world over, and he hasn’t stopped appearing on the electronic stage everywhere. Dr. Smoke, his alter ego, gained strength during this period as a showcase of Oscar’s open and eclectic vision as a music selector, leaving techno aside and moving deep into territories such as electro, dub and IDM.

During 2008 Oscar significantly expanded his work map. Visiting the Movement festival in Detroit, China and Japan, he has left his mark on almost every continent.
During 2009, his international presence included forays into countries as exotic (from a techno point of view) as China. As for studio work, that same year saw the digital release of the Trolley Route album, the making of a CD mix for the prestigious Tresor Records label and the creation of the Selección Natural collective together with Exium, Reeko and Christian Wünsch.
Following a memorable anniversary party at Fabrik, Madrid, that was a huge success with the crowds and celebrated his twenty years as a dj, we see the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. From then on he is open to the use of new technologies and new projects, such as the Pole platform, which picks up the thread from Selección Natural and gathers the best of the national techno scene under one banner.


During 2011 we saw the release of his first LP as Oscar Mulero, Grey Fades to Green. A double CD also released as a 4 vinyl set which will bear testimony to Oscar’s maturity and consolidation as one of the most important electronic music producers worldwide.
On the stage side Oscar has developed a fully audiovisual experience with his “Light & Dark AV Set”, tested live in some of the best festivals around.
For 2012 he’s going to celebrate 10 years of his primal label WarmUp, which will soon reach its 30th released record.

One of Spain's premier techno DJs, Oscar Mulero is also an accomplished producer who founded his own label, Warm Up Recordings, and occasionally released music on prestigious techno labels including Theory Recordings and Tresor. Based in Madrid, Mulero got into music during the 1980s, initially British goth rock bands such as the Cure, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, and Fields of the Nephilim, followed later in the decade by electronic body music (EBM) acts such as Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, and A Split Second. Around the turn of the decade, Mulero established himself as a popular techno DJ in Madrid, first as a resident at the New World club and then, more notably, as a resident at another pioneering Madrid techno club, the Omen. His style at the time was based upon Detroit techno (e.g., Underground Resistance) and the IDM sound of Warp Records (e.g., Aphex Twin), as well as the German hard trance of Harthouse (e.g., Hardfloor) and the ambient output of Fax +49 69/450464 (e.g., Pete Namlook); in time his style would fall more in line with the productions of Jeff Mills and Surgeon.

In 1996 Mulero performed at the third annual Sónar music festival in Barcelona, an honor that firmly established him as one of Spain's premier techno DJs. A mix album, About Discipline and Education, followed in 1998 for the Spanish label So Dens, and so did a lot of international DJ gigs. In 2000 Mulero founded Warm Up Recordings, and began releasing a series of 12" EPs including Medical Mesh (2000), Sans Souci (2000), Floodland (2001), Learning to Be a Machine (2002), CV Is Dead (2002), The Nine (2003), Pro-Files (2004), Art & Strategy (2004), 46 (2007), and Implant (2007). He later founded a subsidiary label, Pole Recordings, in 2004 and began releasing additional 12" EPs including The Damage Done (2004), Primary Instincts (2004), and El Silencio Habla (2005). Over the years Mulero also released his productions on a variety of other labels including Tsunami Records (Offshore, 2001; The Damage Done, Pt. 2, 2004), Theory Recordings (In Bad Company, 2002; Oblivion/Anaconda, 2002; Anaconda Remixes, 2004), and Tresor (Only Dead Fish Go with the Flow, 2007).

Biografia de Oscar Mulero:

Madrid, mediados de los 80, la capital española vive una verdadera explosión musical no conocida hasta entonces. En medio de toda esta vorágine un adolescente desconocido entra en una tienda de discos para invertir sus ahorros en un álbum, Standing on a beach de The Cure. Ni él mismo sabía que este iba a ser el primer peldaño de una larga y costosa escalera que le llevaría a ser uno de los dj's imprescindibles de este país.

Esta afición por los discos para consumo propio continuó ampliándose con referencias de Joy Division,The Smiths, Sisters of MercyFields of the Nephilim y toda la Dark wave y el rock gótico. La electrónica llegó más tarde, cuando asiste como público a uno de los momentos históricos de la electrónica madrileña, las míticas noches EBM en la discoteca OH Madrid. Hablamos de 1989 y una arriesgada promotora decide traer a la capital a la flor y nata del Body Music Europeo, en unos pocos meses pasan por el escenario de esta discoteca:Front 242Cassandra Complex, Nitzer Ebb A Split Second. Muchos de los asistentes a estas noches se engancharon definitivamente a la electrónica más dura y Óscar fue uno de ellos. La colección crece y ya no es suficiente escuchar los discos en solitario una y otra vez, rápidamente surge la necesidad de compartir esa música con los demás, el virus del dj ataca el sistema nervioso de Óscar, casi sin percibirlo se perfila la vocación y pronto llega la primera oportunidad: Un amigo que pincha en un pequeño club se pone enfermo y le llama para sustituirle.

Primer contacto con la profesión, y desde abajo, sin atajos, recorre su camino paso a paso, con decisión, creyendo firmemente en cada movimiento que hace, poniendo toda su pasión en la música, sin más. No pasará mucho tiempo hasta que se haga un habitual en las cabinas de los clubes más underground de Madrid, que acogen estupendamente su discurso musical oscuro y cortante, alimentado por lo mejor de la electrónica europea de baile y lo más selecto de la new wave y el rock más arriesgado. Así terminan los 80 y se inicia una década que será vital para el desarrollo de Óscar Mulero como dj, lo mejor está por llegar y la primera piedra se llama New World. La noche madrileña se electriza, clubes como Attica, Saratoga, Voltereta, Nacional 3 o De Nombre Público apuestan por la música europea más underground y por los dj's que mezclaban. En ese pequeño embrión del techno New World jugó un papel fundamental, y sus dj's (Óscar, Yke y Yury) fueron parte muy importante en este hecho. New World sonaba atronadoramente, metálico, con precisión, la cabina estaba en medio de la sala y el contacto con el público era total. La música que se programaba era abierta, sin límite, tan pronto podía sonar The Cult como Front 242 o el disco más underground del new beat belga o el trance alemán. Los asiduos al club reciben este mensaje musical con verdadera pasión y rápidamente se convierten en incondicionales. El boca a boca empieza su trabajo...

El éxito de las sesiones en New World va en aumento y Óscar entra en el estudio por primera vez para colaborar en la creación del disco oficial del club, Nuclear Zone, una aproximación a distancia, más como consejero sónico que como productor real. El disco sale a la venta en 1993 y supone un éxito bastante notable para la época, llegando a incluirse en diversos recopilatorios de ámbito nacional. Visto en perspectiva es un trabajo muy acorde con el estilo que imperaba en los primeros 90 y con el tiempo ha llegado a convertirse en un objeto de culto en Ebay.

Como todo en la vida, la experiencia New World tiene un final, el dueño del local decide venderlo y la época mítica de la plaza de los cubos firma su requiem. Lejos de ser el final de algo, supone el comienzo de algo aún más grande. Nace The Omen, para algunos, el club total, formado por un equipo de lujo en todos los aspectos. En The Omen, cada aspecto estaba tratado con minuciosidad, los dj's seleccionaban la música usando todo el abanico de estilos a su alcance, desde los ralentizados y líquidos comienzos de sesión hasta los finales más apoteósicos y memorables. La sesión del club estaba concebida como una película, siempre diferente, siempre móvil, con la misma atención en el principio, nudo y desenlace. Junto con la música los visuales y las proyecciones aportaban algo totalmente nuevo en las noches de la capital, nadie había visto hasta entonces en la misma cabina tres platos y un ordenador. La conjunción de dj's y light jockey proporcionaba una experiencia audiovisual total. En cuanto a la imagen gráfica, los flyers del Omen eran verdaderas obras de arte, creadas al detalle, experimentando con las tipografías, formatos y materiales más futuristas, creando imagen de marca y marcando escuela. Como dato curioso, en la info se daba igual importancia a los dj's, a los light jockeys y a los relaciones públicas, llevando el espíritu de equipo hasta cada rincón del club.

Durante esta etapa, Óscar marca definitivamente su concepto de sesión y su estilo de mezcla constructivista, en la que los discos pierden importancia en si mismos para convertirse en herramientas de construcción de algo mucho más grande en forma de sesión. Musicalmente, los sonidos cósmicos de etiquetas europeas como Harthouse o Eye Q se mezclan con las sonoridades más ásperas y abstractas de influencia detroitiana o británica, los primeros UR, los primeros Tresor o los primeros Soma, añadido al mejor ambient e IDM para la apertura , con todo el catálogo de de Warp y sus series Artificial Intelligencecomo paleta sonora, además de música de sellos tan arriesgados como Apollo Records ( subdivisión downtempo del mítico sello belga R&S) o la electrónica planeadora de Fax Records. El éxito del Omen lo convierte rápidamente en atracción turística, con clubbers de todo el país viajando a Madrid cada fin de semana para disfrutar de las sesiones. Esto conlleva un cambio en la carrera de Óscar, su peso como residente va mutando a dj viajero, comienza a salir regularmente para expandir el sonido Omen por toda la península, primero en el norte y progresivamente en los cuatro puntos cardinales. La íntima relación de Óscar con las carreteras y los aeropuertos toma forma...

Pero desgraciadamente, el Omen también tiene un final, no deseado por nadie, en plena explosión mediática de las drogas de diseño y los fines de semana interminables, como una víctima más de una información sesgada y desconocedora de los valores musicales de lo que ahora llamamos techno. A partir de este momento, Óscar Mulero no será residente permanente nunca más, Las constantes peticiones de promotores , tanto en nuestro país como en el resto de Europa, le implicaran en un constante tour de fin de semana que no parará ni un momento durante toda su carrera.

En sus primeros escarceos europeos tiene la oportunidad de compartir cabina y entrar en contacto directo con lo mejor del techno mundial: Jeff Mills, Laurent Garnier, Derrick May ... Óscar aprende y sintetiza en su grabadora mental nuevas técnicas, nuevos sonidos y los suma a su ya extenso bagaje, ni siquiera él es consciente, pero está creando algo inusual, un dj total total que sabe tanto enseñar como aprender, que no se estanca y que ve su carrera como una constante evolución, cerrando etapas y buscando nuevas metas.

Llega 1996 y con él la tercera edición de Sónar, un festival que por entonces ya se ha consolidado como uno de los más importantes del mundo. Por primera vez el nombre de Óscar Mulero aparece entre la lista de convocados nacionales, junto a otros compañeros de generación como The Frogmen, HD Substance oResonic. Sonar 96 sirve como confirmación oficial de toda una escena hasta entonces en estado embrionario, por primera vez es tomada en cuenta como algo serio, como el germen de algo sólido. En esta edición Óscar mide sus fuerzas con figuras de la talla de Richie Hawtin, Garnier o Mills y no sale perdiendo. Fuera de nuestro país se comienza a hablar de su técnica y selección musical únicas. Objetivo cumplido y una etapa más cerrada.

Pero hay vida después de Sónar y este espaldarazo de nivel le proporciona aun más trabajo, más viajes, más grandes festivales, como el Members of Mayday, hasta derivar en 1998 en su primer cd de sesión (y uno de los primeros editados en nuestro país) About Discipline and education, editado en la discográfica catalana So Dens, por entonces muy vinculada a los organizadores de Sonar. Para la época, la selección musical era totalmente avanzada y arriesgada, con lo mejor del sonido seco e industrioso de Birmingham de la mano de Regis oSurgeon y lo mejor del sonido de USA representado por Jeff Mills o Joey Beltram. El Cd es un éxito absoluto de ventas, siendo uno de los cd's de música electrónica más vendidos de la historia de nuestro país. Si el nombre de Óscar Mulero ya era conocido por el underground y los clubbers más fieles, pasa ahora a ocupar las portadas de los medios especializados y generalistas, gracias él la figura del dj es tomada en serio en medios que hasta ahora solo lo veían como uno más de los trabajadores de un noche. Como tantas otras veces, abriendo puertas y marcando caminos.

Pero no se conforma aún, a objetivo cumplido objetivo puesto, music non stop. Aún no se siente completo, la idea de producir su propia música le quita el sueño, el salto no va a ser fácil, pero aún así decide darlo, como siempre sin buscar atajos, desde abajo, desde el principio. El objetivo está claro, si quieres trabajar en esto de formar profesional, recorrer el mundo y darte a conocer más allá de tus fronteras no te puedes quedar quieto, necesitas editar tu propia música, necesitas que los dj's que admiras pongan tus discos, que el mundo se entere de lo que se está perdiendo. Manos a la obra, ya no sólo hay que estar al tanto de las últimas novedades musicales, ahora hay nuevas tareas, hay que conseguir el material de estudio necesario para hacer realidad la música que tienes en la cabeza. Pero las máquinas no suenan solas, el proceso de aprendizaje es duro y a veces frustrante, hay que pasar muchas horas en blanco hasta sacar del equipo algo que se ajuste medianamente a los que tienes en el cerebro.

Y una vez superado este primer escollo hay que tener el tiempo y la poca vergüenza necesarios para presentarlo en público en forma de demo, aceptar todo tipo de opiniones y tener el sentido del aprendizaje muy desarrollado para constantemente aportar algo nuevo. Si has hecho bien todo esto tendrás una recompensa en forma de disco, y si éste funciona, doble recompensa. No todos los dj's son buenos productores y viceversa.Óscar ha trabajado muy duro para equiparar su nivel como DJ con el de animal de estudio.

Su primer trabajo lo edita en 1999, junto a un productor madrileño experimentado, Groof, ambos forman el dúo Quite Unusual en el sello del propio Groof, Brainwaves con apoyo unánime de crítica y ventas. El bautismo de fuego da resultado satisfactorio y le proporciona el suficiente arrojo para lanzarse de lleno a su carrera en solitario. Ese momento llega en el año 2000, en el sello francés Kobayashi. Primer partido fuera de casa y primera victoria. El siguiente paso está bien claro, no se puede depender de los demás para editar tu música, hay que crear un sello.

Dicho y hecho, en el mismo 2000 nace Warm Up y un par de años después su vástago Pole. A partir de este momento todos los esfuerzos se concentran en editar su propio material ya sea en casa o jugando fuera en los mejores sellos del planeta techno, como CODAPure PlasticTresorSheepTsunami, o Main Out, entre otros..Esto le sitúa definitivamente en el mapa mundial del techno editando nueve maxis entre 2000 y 2002. No esta mal. Trabajo de fondo, gimnasio, entrenamiento, llámalo como quieras, ahora hace falta un Hit, uno de esos temas mágicos que nunca sabes cuando vas a componer, que muchos no llegan a componer nunca, que solo sale cuando las coordenadas se juntan con precisión.

El momento llega cuando Ben Sims pide una demo a Óscar para su selloTheory, uno de los más potentes del panorama en aquel momento, tras un lento y costoso ir y venir de masters y demos entre Madrid y Londres y horas y horas de trabajo de estudio, Anaconda es editado a finales del 2002, esto supone su primer hit internacional que le coloca definitivamente en el all star de los productores techno mundiales, el disco es pinchado y charteado por los dj's más respetables del globo y como consecuencia directa la carrera de Óscar Mulero se dispara de forma exponencial. Fichando por la prestigiosa agencia alemana de booking Dynamix, compartiendo roster con lo mejor del hard techno. El pasaporte se colapsa de sellos de aeropuertos de los cincos continentes y sus maletas visitan desde entonces los mejores clubes y festivales de América del sur, Europa o Asia. Para la mayoría de los mortales ya hay suficiente con esto, para Óscar Mulero no.

Para completar su doctorado le falta un álbum, un trabajo de concepto. Nuevo reto, nada fácil. En 2003 se pone de nuevo el mono de trabajo, se encierra en el estudio con su paquete de tabaco y los víveres necesarios y publica en el selloPure Plastic, bajo el alias Trolley RouteA Occhi Chiusi, un álbum de electrónica total mental y bailable al tiempo, Con este álbum se cierra un ciclo y su madurez como productor queda fuera de toda duda. Desde entonces y hasta hoy su labor como francotirador ha continuado, tanto como productor como remixer en los sellos imprescindibles del techno mundial y continuando con múltiples sus actuaciones sin descanso por todo el planeta electrónico.

Una carrera sin manchas, sin giros, repleta de trabajo y dedicación, con el mismo amor por la música que a mediados de los 80 le hizo comprarse su primer vinilo y sin perder nunca la ilusión, una ilusión que le depara un futuro lleno de nuevos proyectos y expectativas, como la edición de su segundo álbum como Trolley Route, La creación de la nueva plataforma Zero Oscillator Parties junto a Dj Muerto, en las que da rienda suelta a su pasión por todos los estilos de la música electrónica, aunando tradición y futuro. En definitiva, un artista completo sin el que no se puede entender la historia de la música de baile en nuestro país.
