On October 25, 2024, OGUZ returned with DAM SQUARE DANCE TRAX LV.1, a hard-hitting, genre-blending mixtape that’s as bold as it is boundary-pushing.

With this release, OGUZ firmly establishes himself as a mainstay in the international techno scene, proving he’s not slowing down any time soon.
OGUZ has spent nearly a decade crafting his sound, drawing inspiration from Amsterdam’s underground rave culture and his Turkish roots. His trajectory has been nothing short of meteoric, marked by memorable performances across Europe’s top clubs and festivals. Yet, despite his rapid ascent, OGUZ has remained committed to building his career one track and one fan at a time. DAM SQUARE DANCE TRAX LV.1 perfectly captures the essence of his journey so far, fusing high-energy beats with introspective undertones that resonate with audiences everywhere.
The mixtape is packed with versatility, showcasing OGUZ’s ability to move fluidly between different styles while staying true to his techno roots. Whether it’s the pulsing rhythms of his solo tracks or the innovative flair of his collaborations, DAM SQUARE DANCE TRAX LV.1 delivers a unique sonic experience that feels both fresh and nostalgic. Released under his own label, 808 STUDIOS, the project cements his role not just as an artist but as a curator of forward-thinking techno.
With DAM SQUARE DANCE TRAX LV.1, OGUZ invites listeners into his world, one track at a time, and it’s a journey they won’t want to miss. As his global fanbase continues to grow, OGUZ is set to carve out an even bigger space for himself on the electronic music landscape, pushing the boundaries of techno while staying true to his roots.
