Synthwave and synthpop are the sounds of Oblique's universe. Inspired by soundtracks from the 80s, analogue synths and programming plus the voice of Sonja are the signature of this project. The duo has released 5 albums, 2 EPs and various songs included in several compilations to date.

Spanish DJ and producer based in Barcelona, Spain. He started to play music at the local electronic dark scene in 1996 and currently is a very well known name from his hometown city where he has a residency at Razzmatazz, one of the most important clubs in Spain and Europe. As a producer began his career with the electronic pop band Oblique at the early 2000s. In 2005 he started his own project alongside tv hostess Lorena Castell.

I don't know what it is, but in DWTD's discography this record really stands out to me. Picking a favourite track is difficult because all of the songs sound incredible to me, but POISON is probably the most fresh and energetic song in my opinion. zWarhead

This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven. zWarhead
