Going by his surname, Oscar Powell is a London-based electronic musician and composer who co-runs the acclaimed Diagonal label. He first gained attention for recording abrasive, distorted experimental techno that displays a biting sense of humor and an irreverent attitude toward the conventions of club music. Releases such as the 2016 full-length debut Sport took influence from '80s post-punk and industrial (especially acts such as Suicide and the Fall) as well as British hardcore techno and drum'n'bass, and often incorporated gritty guitars and primitive drums. In 2020, he established the multimedia audio-visual platform a ƒolder and moved away from dance music, with releases like flash across the intervals taking influence from electroacoustic pioneers like Iannis Xenakis. He created a new compositional method for 2021's Piano Music 1-7, and worked with the London Contemporary Orchestra for 2023's 26 Lives. The ambitious We Do Recover, a statement of reassurance, arrived in 2025.
