Synopsis

In this milestone 100th episode of the Que Bola Podcast, I had the honor of sitting down with Miami legend Oscar G, a true pioneer in the house music scene. This episode is particularly special for me, as it marks a significant achievement in my journey as a podcaster—100 episodes of hard work, passion, and dedication. Oscar shared his early experiences growing up in Miami, where he began DJing at just 12 years old, influenced by the vibrant b-boy culture and the music scene of the time. We discussed how he and his friend Ralph Falcone formed Funky Green Dogs and started producing music, navigating the challenges of the industry without the modern conveniences of digital technology. Oscar recounted the struggles of getting their music recognized, the importance of building a label, and how they had to create a façade of multiple artists to gain traction. He also reflected on the evolution of the Miami music scene, highlighting the pivotal role of clubs like Score and Liquid in shaping the underground culture.
