  • From scoring a dozen Top 10 hits on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart to running his own underground house label, Murk Records, with fellow local Ralph Falcon for nearly 25 years, the 305's Oscar G has accomplished a lot in his career.
    But it wasn't until last month that Miami's future-house legend was finally able to reach a personal milestone: make his first trip to Cuba and DJ on the island.
    "Man, it was amazing," says Oscar, who's Cuban-American. "That was my first time ever going there, and it was really intense the whole time. It was a very emotional trip, like an emotional roller coaster, and it was just amazing. I was only there for a day and a half, but just in that time, it was nonstop. We barely slept and tried to experience as much as we could."
    On the trip produced by Vedado Social Club, he was joined by Falcon, DJ Lazaro Casanova, and street artist Ahol Sniffs Glue. Though the excursion lasted less than 48 hours, the idea to DJ en la Perla del Caribe had been spinning in Oscar's head for years.
    "I've always wanted to do that," he says. "There's been a couple of times that people have talked to me about it, but this time, it worked out. A friend of mine from here who does parties in Miami is the one who organized the whole thing. Basically, I got a formal invitation to play over there with some of my friends."
    Cuba was a far cry from the nightclubs the DJ is used to playing. Oscar's set took place at Fábrica de Arte Cubano, a three-story art space in Havana owned by X Alfonso of the Cuban musical collective Síntesis.
    "He opened this place," Oscar explains. "It's like an art gallery with really cool modern art pieces and has a theater where they show art films. The second night, they were showing Blade Runner. And in the back, it has a concert-slash-club venue."
