Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, Oscar Cabrices - better known as DJ OC, was exposed to a vast musical forefront from a young age; but during his college years, Miami’s house scene sucked him in for good.
Oscar soon began rocking small parties around town. The gigs were far from glamorous, but he used the opportunity to learn how to make the temperature of a party soar past the boiling point. As the late 80s exploded with the fresh sounds of 90s House, his passion grew and he's never looked back. In the fifteen years since, his multi-styled musical skills have developed into a precise compound of rhythm, texture and groove.
After moving to Columbia to pursue his PhD in Analytical Chemistry at the University of South Carolina, OC was noticing the big "buzz" concerning the "electronic dance community." A local deejay caught his ear, and influenced him to try out his own style in the same direction. Soon, OC began his revolution of new music. With his blend of Miami house and Ibiza style beats, he gained massive respect from audiences, venues and radio stations.
An effusive personality both on stage and in person, a genuine love of his music and an enthusiastic desire to work a room has led OC to become a firm favorite with promoters, clubbers and local musicians amongst Columbia. Broadcasting live every Saturday night from 11pm to 2am at The Elbow Room in 5 Points, OC’s weekly showcase of diverse, quality house music and dance-floor dynamic is approaching its first birthday come 2010.
A forensic chemist turned DJ – who would’ve guessed? Earning his Doctorate degree next year, OC is proving himself to be one of the brightest talents around.
