Swelling with bubbling synths, tranced-out pads and floating, ungraspable rhythms, Job Oberman’s sound carries an emotional depth as bottomless as the great blue itself. Released by Nous’klaer Audio in 2023, his first full-length LP Choral Feeling is built from vocal recordings of close friends, standing in testament to the extraordinary sense of togetherness that music can inspire. A former resident of De School, with appearances at Selectors, Lente Kabinet and several editions of Dekmantel under his belt, this year’s showcase promises to be extra special as Oceanic premiers as a live A/V act, bringing an immersive visual dimension to his aquatic, analogue compositions.
