Artist Bio

With a list of credentials as long as a laser beam, Oicho (aka David Harrow aka James Hardway) has been neck-deep in the electronic arts for the greater part of his life. This multi-talented producer now turns his attention to a new endeavor: video mapping,created live under the moniker Oicho and hitting the dance floors around southern California with smashing success.

Elusive, yet always on the cutting edge, David has been making records since 1984. Producing, performing, remixing, and arranging for the likes of Salmonella Dub, ATR, Anne Clark, Lee Perry, and Dreadzone, amongst many others. This busy artist has been flipping fat beats all over the world in a wide variety of sounds and styles, from defining new wave classics and moody dance music to hard-hitting techno and swinging drum & bass. David Harrow has left an indelible mark on electronic arts culture and brought together artists and fans with his keen production skills.

Today, this versatile artist has cultivated a new outlet for creative expression: video mapping. Oicho’s cutting-edge visual party chops have made him one of the go-to guys in Los Angeles for this fresh and new type of video art. A form of spatial media, video mapping projects mutating images, shining hallucinations, and brilliant displays of color onto nearby surfaces (such as bass bins) for a thrilling, multi-dimensional experience of digital art.

Oicho will be on eye-popping duties for the new weekly event, Screwface, hosted by Pure Filth, one of LA’s top underground crews known for saturating the senses with thick and heady shows. Also on the visual tip for Thavius Beck’s Ableton workshops at the Downtown Independent and at UCLA’s Summer Nights at Hammer Museum, Oicho is in high demand as more and more promoters and venue owners realize the hugely positive impact of video mapping and other exciting visuals on the party experience.

After dozens of releases and decades in the business, David Harrow now brings his new moniker, Oicho to light. This multimedia producer and video mapper will no doubt continue his successful path as an ongoing contributor to the international electronic music community and as an engineer of artistic evolution.
