Modular Festival Preparty

Oceanic

Oceanic broke through as a DJ and producer during the final days of club Trouw. After growing up in Goes and studying in Amsterdam, he spent a year in Berlin, where he fell head over heels for the dancefloor. Upon returning, he joined Trouw’s resident crew alongside Job Jobse, Elias Mazian, and Tom Trago, who later transitioned to Amsterdam’s most talked-about club, De School. Oceanic quickly gained a reputation as an original, creative DJ capable of handling both large venues and intimate clubs. He primarily released music on Nous’Klaer, the connoisseur label run by his brother Sjoerd Oberman. Just this fall, the label hosted a stage at Draaimolen, where Oceanic teamed up with Avalon Emerson. And hosting a stage at Draaimolen also means building and carrying things yourself. Oceanic joined in enthusiastically, spending an entire day running electrical cables to all the bars on the festival grounds.
