ABOUT ::ODDIO::
DJ ODDIO • Obligatory Self-Agrandizing Bio, Written in the Third Person as per Genre Conventions
Andrew got his start as a DJ on Chicago’s WNUR 89.3. His show “Fever” debuted in early 1998 and focused on the soulful, deep house sounds of U.S. labels like Guidance, MAW, Large, KDJ, and Wave. Thanks to its consistent quality and high-profile guests, the show earned a city-wide reputation as one of the finest shows on the air.
Although he began playing almost exclusively house, Andrew bought a lot of downtempo, nujazz, disco, funk, and hip hop. Within a few years, he was collecting everything from bossa nova and dub to drum & bass and techno, and his style of playing grew to accommodate the wide variety of sounds in his crates.
Far from delivering the generic sets of one new house release after another, Andrew aims to surprise listeners by combining timeless music in fresh ways. With one foot firmly planted in latin, african, soul, and disco music traditions and another in the freshest sounds emerging in the broken beat, jazzdance, and deep house genres, he crafts unique story arcs that take listeners to unexpected places. He does this the old-fashioned way—with bags of wax hand-picked from his ever-expanding record collection. Expect to hear a bit of everything: sought-after disco and soul, rare Japanese nujazz imports, underground hip hop and deep house classics, obscure afrobeat, samba, and salsa sounds--if it sounds good and makes you want to move, OdDio will play it.
His versatility allows him to play virtually any venue at any hour of the day, from afternoon lounges to late night clubs and after hours parties—crafting tasteful and appropriate sets from within the context they are intended for. His equally-diverse and consummately tasteful mixes have been featured on a wide variety of FM, satellite, and online radio stations.
He has relocated many times over the years, living and DJing for stints in Chicago, Edinburgh, San Diego, Guayaquil, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis. He now lives in Seville, hosts a monthly podcast show called “OdDio’s Audio Odyssey,” and DJs at several local venues.
