Oma Totem
Barcelona artist and DJ, known for his hardware-driven live sets and cerebral music for the small hours
With a name taken from a Danh Vo sculpture and a youth spent between the hills of Catalonia and Barcelona nightlife, oma totem makes music that’s both for the mind and the body. Rooted in his hardware-driven live sets and hypnotic DJ sessions, his growing catalogue of releases covers intricately woven percussion, digidub-influenced hardware jams, and cerebral dance music for the small hours.
Capable of delivering peak-time club sets or leftfield downtempo sessions, he’s also created a full AV live show, solids, together with sol i serps (Crisantos Castella & juns), and is one half of experimental multimedia duo res_és_nostre (also with juns).
From his base in Barcelona - where he works as label manager for John Talabot’s Hivern Discs - he’s travelled to Sicily, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Mexico City, Berlin, and London, while maintaining his presence in the Catalan capital as a live performer, DJ, and occasional promoter.
