Superfast Oz

Real Name:
Owen Swinerd
Profile:
Superfast Oz is a mammoth figure within the Hard House / NRG scene. He co-owns one the most influential & popular record labels known to the scene, Kaktai Records and he's one half of the extremely popular & highly acclaimed production duo, OD404 with Dom Sweeten (aka Defective Audio).

As a teen, Oz dabbled with drums, rhythm and bass guitars in Rock/Thrash bands before discovering a deeper interest in electonic dance music. He started DJ'ing in the early 90's and met future production & label partner, Dom Sweeten, whilst playing gigs in Brighton in the mid 90's.

They had similiar tastes and both were interested in dabbling with music production, so they aquired some studio equiment and started crafting their art. Very few labels were initially interested and the duo later launched Kaktai Records in '97 as a platform for their music.

Oz co-owned & ran the BangingTunes.com record store & Banging Tunes label with DJ Kristian untill 2004. He parted with BT in order to concentrate on his initial focus, DJ'ing & production. More solo work, further collaborations and an OD404 Live show have been products of the move.

With residencies stretching from London to Cape Town, San Francisco to Tokyo, having numerous classic releases & some of the biggest remixes on almost every label that matters, Oz is rightly one of the most in demand & respected Hard House artists across the globe.
