Deep/tech-house DJ and producer Oskar van Gelderen has been moving the Rotterdam nightlife for the past years. He plays
under the Drum Affair moniker since 2016. His tracks are energetic, yet smooth and not over-produced, perfectly tailored for
clubs and dance festivals. Oskar’s music repertoire is packed with hidden gems, driven by rhythm and moved by a relentless love
for house music.
Born in 1987 in Poznań, Oskar has both East European and African roots. He moved at the young age of 4 to the city of
Rotterdam and entered the electronic music scene when he started frequenting clubs as a teenager. Having learned the vinyl
basics from a friend, Oskar took a deep dive into DJ’ing and producing, further enhancing his skills, and began spinning at a
hometown club at the age of 25.
Several years into it, and Drum Affair has definitely been making noise. His playground has mostly been the buzzing club scene
of Rotterdam, rocking the industrial and ever forward-thinking Maassilo venue, making his festival debut in 2019 and sweeping
the crowds off their feet as a resident DJ for Music Is The Answer Events and Give Soul. Drum Affairs owns up to his name, with
musical brilliance wrapped in a thick layer of ID’s and underground dance floor weapons.
The summer of 2020 brought his producer debut, with the ‘Collision’ EP landing on Tinted Grooves label
