About DJ ITAL
DJ Ital a.k.a. Martin Oscar began his musical journey at an early age playing Reggae and Soul on sound systems where he gained valuable experience touring with ‘Jah Tubby’ and ‘Stone Love’ sound business. Hardcore and jungle emerged as genres and inevitably the warehouse parties of East London followed. A stint on Leyton Community Radio station led to a regular spots on underground pirate stations along with DJ residencies at major events Jungle Mania, Thunder & Joy and Telepathy to name but a few. Gigs at Glastonbury Festival, Loco, Tenerife Uncovered and Jungle Fever in Switzerland followed. Kool FM, London’s number 1 Drum and Bass pirate radio station approached him to present a regular prime time DJ slot. This position generated extensive media interest from mainstream press both at home and abroad and led to DJ sets at all the major raves - True Playaz nights at Fabric, Movement at Bar Rhumba, Helter Skelter, Atomics and the MC Convention. He has also played Rumble in the Jungle in France and the Just Dance Festival in Greece.
After a brief sabbatical from the music circuit to focus on raising his family and music production (with skills acquired from Point Blank Music School), 2022 sees a return to music for DJ Ital. He is back in the studio with big plans and projects in the pipeline. Having recently played at the Raindance Jungle Fever all dayer in November 2021 his sets are as legendary as they ever were drawing on his extensive knowledge of Drum and Bass. Poised and confident, Ital’s sets are flawless with his natural ability to read a crowd.
Ital has a resident show, “The Ital Show”, on Dejavufm the first Sunday of every month and regularly guests on other major radio stations.
Despite Ital’s extensive history within the drum and bass community, his musical performance styles are incredibly versatile covering many genres of music.
