Oscar L returns for a Groove-Injected ‘Atlas’ EP

A powerhouse of the Spanish electronic scene, Oscar L has long been an essential figure in the global techno landscape. His latest release, the ‘Atlas‘ EP, arrived on February 6, 2026, via Adam Beyer’s esteemed Truesoul label. This further cements his reputation for delivering sophisticated, high-energy productions. Originally from Madrid, Oscar’s career took off after winning the Loca FM DJ contest in 2001. This eventually led to a prolific discography on top-tier labels like Drumcode, Suara, and Stereo Productions. Known for his hardware-infused sound and hits like “Monster Tube,” he has consistently earned support from industry icons such as Richie Hawtin and Nicole Moudaber. Additionally, he simultaneously reaches audiences in over 16 countries through his long-running D-Mix radio show. On the ‘ATLAS‘ EP, Oscar L delivers a triad of tracks that exemplify his mastery of hardware-driven melodic techno. Released via Adam Beyer’s Truesoul, the EP balances peak-time energy with the intricate, atmospheric textures that have become his signature. The titular track is a masterclass in tension and release. “I wanted to explore a slightly lower BPM with more groove this time, as my recent releases were more focused around 132 BPM and a heavier techno sound. For this release, the idea was to go a bit more underground while still keeping a sound that fits well with the current market“- Oscar L Oscar L- Atlas EP It centers on a colossal, undulating synth lead that feels both ancient and futuristic. Oscar L utilizes heavy analog saturation to give the main hook a “physical” presence. This grounds the soaring melodic elements with a punchy, driving kick drum. The track is designed for big-room impact. In addition, it uses vast reverb tails to create a sense of scale that fits its mythological namesake. While ‘When the Bassline Hits‘ leans into Oscar’s tech-house influences, it features a syncopated, rolling bassline that provides relentless forward motion. The production is stripped back compared to the title track. This allows the crispness of the percussion and the subtle, modulated synth stabs to take center stage. It’s a specialized tool for the dancefloor, built to maintain high energy during a peak-time set. Rounding out the EP is ‘Still Human‘, a slightly more introspective cut. It introduces more melodic soul through layered pads and a haunting, minor-key progression. The track explores the intersection of machine-like precision and human emotion—a recurring theme in Oscar L’s work. It concludes the EP with a sophisticated, after-hours vibe that showcases his versatility as a producer. As 2026 unfolds, Oscar L maintains relentless momentum with a packed global tour schedule that spans major festivals and intimate club showcases. Fresh off a high-profile appearance at Proper NYE 25/26 in San Diego alongside legends like Skrillex and Disclosure, he is currently gearing up for a massive performance at DRUMSHEDS in London this March for a Drumcode takeover. This upcoming highlight, where he joins Adam Beyer and Bart Skils, underscores his “privileged position” among Spain’s most outstanding musical exports. With the ATLAS EP serving as a fresh sonic blueprint for his sets, Oscar L continues to expand his professional framework. This proves that his “vertiginous climb” shows no signs of slowing down.
