oOoOO
Murky, slow-motion beats that feel like a pop radio station transmitted from the bottom of a lake. Ethereal electronics for late-night introspection.

oOoOO, the project of San Francisco-based Christopher Dexter Greenspan, was a foundational architect of the witch house movement in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Alongside acts like Salem and White Ring, oOoOO defined a specific aesthetic that merged the rhythmic DNA of trap and crunk with the atmospheric gloom of darkwave and ethereal wave.
The project's sound is characterized by extreme tempo manipulation, heavy use of side-chain compression, and a 'submerged' mixing style that prioritizes mood over clarity. Greenspan's work on the Tri Angle Records label helped elevate the micro-genre to critical status, bridging the gap between underground internet culture and high-concept electronic music. His career arc moved from the sample-heavy, pop-referential early EPs to the more expansive and collaborative LP 'Without Your Love', and eventually to the darker, more industrial-leaning 'Faminine Mystique'. Critically, oOoOO is viewed as a bridge between the hauntology of Boards of Canada and the modern 'sad girl' pop and cloud rap movements.
