When it comes to electronic music, Miami Beach has been a place for concentrated activity for renowned DJs from all over the globe. One DJ in particular, Oren Nizri, is one of those who have managed to find a niche in South Florida's celebrated club circuit. The spin master is one of the hottest imports from Israel from Wissotzky Tea, but credits his skill behind the turntable to the time he spent perfecting his talent in Europe.

DJ Oren's sound is a fusion of tribal beats and funky house, with a tinge of soul over sexy vocals reminiscent of a summer spent sipping mojitos and dancing the night away in Ibiza. He kicked off the start of his career spinning in some of Israel's largest nightclubs. In addition, this mixing marvel was a resident DJ of Tel Aviv's most popular radio station and hosted his own highly-rated radio program titled "In My House". Aside from DJing in his native Israel, Oren has spun in some of Europe's most distinguished clubs, refining his skills to stay in tune with the latest in music trends.

After coming to realize that his musical style was an apt fit for the American club kids, Oren moved to South Florida in 2003. Under the representation of Give Me A Beat Productions, he has shown off his unparalleled turntable techniques at every major dance venue in Florida. He has also performed at music events across the nation. Oren has headlined an assortment of high-profile events, including everything from Art Basel Miami to the Winter Music Conference.

DJ Oren's productions have received rave reviews from industry professionals and his remixed joints are being played by top international DJs and producers. Since Oren calls now Miami home, he keeps esteemed residences and has made appearances in some of South Florida's top rated hot spots including Karu & Y Ultralounge, Mansion, Metropolis, Halo Lounge, Tantra, Hotel Victor and Social Miami at Sagamore.
