Internationally acclaimed DJ and producer Mochakk, born Pedro Maia, is proud to announce the grand opening of OBLIQO, a cutting-edge venue and cultural hub in his hometown of Sorocaba, Brazil. OBLIQO is more than just a nightclub; it’s a revolutionary space designed to celebrate, educate, and inspire the electronic music community both locally and beyond.

At the heart of OBLIQO lies its Gallery Space, a tribute to the rich history and culture of electronic music. The Gallery Space offers an immersive experience where visitors can explore the evolution of electronic music in Brazil and around the world. Showcasing a rotating collection of posters, album covers, and stories of influential figures such as DJs, music researchers, and journalists, the gallery brings to life the pioneers who shaped the scene. Each month, new exhibits will provide fresh insights into the people and movements that have left an indelible mark on electronic music.

In addition to visual exhibits, OBLIQO will host a series of workshops designed to connect artists with the public, sharing knowledge and fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of electronic music. These workshops will be led by industry veterans, providing a unique opportunity for attendees to learn from some of the best in the field.

OBLIQO stands as a beacon for music lovers, where sound is elevated to an art form. The venue has partnered with 4VIAS Professional Audio, renowned for its top-tier sound systems, to create an unparalleled auditory experience. Equipped with B&C Speakers—the world’s top-rated sound components—OBLIQO transforms its dance floor into a space where music is not just heard but felt in every frequency. From House to Techno and Drum n’ Bass, OBLIQO’s sound system is meticulously tuned to provide a fully immersive experience that resonates with every beat.

Bringing a never-seen-before concept to Sorocaba, the venue is also redefining the visual experience of nightlife. With a unique aesthetic that features exposed lighting structures, the venue offers a perfect canvas for the expression of brutalist architecture. Under the artistic direction of Carlos Felipe Sodré, OBLIQO’s lighting transforms the space into a living artwork, where light and architecture coalesce to create a visually striking atmosphere. This innovative approach not only enhances the overall experience but also elevates OBLIQO to a new level of sensory and aesthetic innovation.

The official opening of OBLIQO will take place this Friday, September 6, with a sold-out launch party celebrating the release of Mochakk’s latest EP, ‘Locomotiva Ibiza 2099 – Part II’, in partnership with CircoLoco Records.
