Farrell works with 2-step swing, broken drums, weighty bass and chopped or softly sung vocals, offset by piano, guitar and translucent synth beds. His DJ sets move between garage, house, techno, jungle and ambient passages rather than locking into one tempo.

More about Oscar Farrell

He came through London’s live circuit as a jazz guitarist and Sampha’s music director before developing his solo club productions. George Daniel brought him into dh2, while a monthly Rinse residency has given him room for long-form sets and b2bs across the label’s wider circle.

A story

Advice from Lil Silva led Farrell to scrap a tonne of music and reset his solo project.
