Local Selection 308: Oscide

Oscide soundtracks Local Selection number 308 with an all-vinyl trip that hits the perfect sweet spot between garage and house, swung crisp drums, lush deep chords mixed with utter proficiency from a pillar of Dublin’s club culture Oscide is the alias of Dublin-born producer and DJ Craig Scully, whose approach has been shaped by nearly two decades behind the decks and in the studio. Moving fluidly between house, tech house and UK garage influences, his sets and productions are defined by rolling percussion, weighty low-end grooves and carefully placed vocal hooks, balancing dancefloor functionality with a distinctive rhythmic touch. A familiar figure in Dublin’s underground scene, Oscide has been a longstanding resident with the Illicit Dublin collective while also launching What’s In Your Bag?, a vinyl-led interview and mix series highlighting selectors from Dublin and further afield. His recent output has included collaborations with Chicago house pioneer Chez Damier, with forthcoming projects set to expand his catalogue further, including an official remix for French producer Brawther. With new releases and collaborations lined up, Oscide continues to refine a sound rooted in groove, rhythm and timeless club music. His contribution to the Local Selection series feels long overdue. Drawing on years of experience behind the decks, Oscide showcases both his depth of musical knowledge and refined approach to DJing, allowing the records to do the talking. Transitions unfold seamlessly, with tracks melting effortlessly into one another in a mix that favours patience over spectacle. It’s a streamlined, understated performance from a DJ who understands the value of timing and restraint. Letting each record breathe while maintaining a steady, rolling energy throughout, Oscide demonstrates the confidence and control that only come with experience, and makes it all sound effortless.
