About Powell

Going by his surname, London-based producer Oscar Powell records abrasive, distorted experimental techno that displays a biting sense of humor and an irreverent attitude toward the conventions of club music. He's influenced by '80s post-punk and industrial, as well as British hardcore techno and drum'n'bass, and he prefers using gritty guitars and primitive drums in his tracks rather than heavy, swinging basslines. His unconventional recordings have earned much acclaim from the underground music press, and he's achieved a considerable amount of notoriety due to his confrontational DJ sets as well as his correspondence with indie rock musician and recording engineer Steve Albini. The double CD 11-14 compiled his first four years' worth of EPs. Sport, his full-length debut, followed in 2016. ~ Paul Simpson
