After completing his 12-city world tour, Omar ؏ returns to SILO, for a headline show going deeper into his favorite dance music — tracks he hasn't played yet on tour, alongside his own unreleased blends, remixes, and originals.
Expect a heavy dose of African dance music: francophone, congolese, batida, afrobeats and amapiano, along with more global sounds woven throughout.
Come ready to dance and discover music you may not have heard before!

the promoter, on that night
“Eschewing categories and the kind of words overabundant in today's scene, DJ prefers to let his sets vinyl-only journeys that span from techno to electro and the deeper manifestations of house and are aimed at the listener's pleasure-speak for themselves.”

the whole biography
To introduce Omar would be to open a box of postcards and talk about a collection of places and people essential to the creation of his sound as a DJ. From his native Panama to his roots in Uruguay and Berlin, Omar's musical ethos has been shaped through diverse landscapes and human connection, an identity that has been complemented by the artists who've made their mark on him-hometown heroes Bruno Gervais, Koolt and uruguayan export Nicolas Lutz.
