By all is known that techno is in a golden age, again !. With a multitude of labels and artists in top form.
As always, from here. From "The Midnight Clan Club" we like to support and contribute our bit so that techno and electronic music does not stop evolving and growing. PoleGroup rules!
As you well know "The Midnight Clan Club" is a global club. He does not understand borders and we like to support "quality" wherever he comes from.
From here we believe that Spain is, to this day, in the lead of techno scene. Captained by the tireless and brilliant Oscar Mulero. Who through its label serves as a platform for great consecrated artists, young promises and how not ... their own productions.
We recently talked about PoleGroup's 5-year history and we wanted to do it again in relation to the current tour of Australia, South Korea and Japan. Granting this debut for "RA JApan":

1.When you spent your
savings as a youngster on The Cure’s “Standing on a Beach” could you ever have
imagined you would be where you are today? It’s quite a journey …
I always thought that I
would end up doing something related to music.., my dad was into playing drums
in bands and also used to dj too for some years.., so in some how music was
surrounding me since I was a kid, and in some how to perform were familiar to
me as well..
2.What was it that made THE
OMEN so successful? Obviously it was golden age for techno.
I think nobody were playing
the music we were playing at that club in Madrid that time..,probably this was
one of the reasons… I remember myself going to London and Amsterdam to buy
records that nobody could have in that time in Madrid.., so it was all about
that and the way of mixing those tracks what probably made the difference at
that time.
3.Sonar 1996: how
significant was that for your career? Tell us about playing that event.
Seriously…?? are you asking
about an event that happen 20 years ago……????? what can I say…, it was nice to
play Sonar for the first time, now what I remember the most is that it was for
me the first time seeing Autechre playing, they were awesome as usual.
4.You’re obviously a very
prolific artist: what drives you and where do you get that inspiration to keep
producing original and innovative music?
Obviously got my musical
inspiration and influences, but at the same time also all that happen around me
every single day in my life affects in some how my way of producing and
creating my music. Music is 100% related to your emotions, thats how it works
for me.
5.You’ve played all over the
world, how have you been received in Japan and what do you feel about the
Japanese sensibilities towards techno/house? How do they differ from
Spain/Europe?
I played Japan 6 years ago
so I guess things probably have changed.., but my experience that time it was
really good. Something that really got stacked in mi mind it was the fact of
how good the crowd reacted to music that they were listening to for the first
time.., this is completely the opposite to how it works with the Spanish crowd
for example who like to listen most of the times to tracks that they can
recognize.
6.What are you working on
now? Anything new in terms of style/direction?
I’m working on a new album,
non dance oriented this time, so there are no tracks for the dancefloor, this
time is going to be more for the listening, kind of IDM influenced as I’m into
this long time ago. Working on the final mix down these days and I’m
pretty happy about what I’m getting so looking forward to getting finished and
start to work on the selection for the final track list of the record.
7.So you are playing at Mind
Off (Wall&Wall) in Tokyo next. What are your thoughts about coming back to
Tokyo and playing this event?
It’s good to be back and
play in Tokyo again after some years, so my expectations about the Mind Off
night at Wall & Wall are big. Don’t know much about the club but I’m
sure its gonna be fun, as far as I can get good sound and good monitors in the
booth I will enjoy playing and according to this the people who come to see me
playing will enjoy my set too.
Nor do we want to stop sharing with all of you the last live set of great Oscar Mulero owner and lord of PoleGroup.
Set made for the friends of "Dommune Tokyo" on the occasion of his tour of Japanese lands ..
Enjoy!
