There’s a shape-shifting energy in the aural world of Juan Carlos Torres Alonso—where shimmering ambient textures pull against the raw urgency of the club. Under his OKRAA alias, he crafts immersive soundscapes that have found a home in underground electronic music’s key spaces.
OKRAA’s sophomore album, La Gran Corriente, released on A Strangely Isolated Place, showcased his conceptual depth and amorphous identity, while his debut LP 1994 was named one of Juno’s Albums of the Year alongside Jon Hopkins and Skee Mask. His work has been championed by BBC 6 Music, KEXP, Radionica, Radio IBERO, NTS, and Rinse FM, with praise from Resident Advisor, First Floor (Shawn Reynaldo), and VICE.
A dynamic force in both studio and on stage, he has performed at Fabric (London), Public Records (NY), Pop-Kultur (Berlin), Mutek, SXSW, Festival Estéreo Picnic (COL), Festival Marvin (MEX), and beyond—touring across Europe and the Americas. His tracks have found their way into the sets of Dave Clarke, Busy P, and Skream, while his dancefloor-focused alias Laudrup has landed on Lobster Theremin, Holding Hands, and Superlux.
Winner of the ‘Capital Creativa de la Música’ national composition award, Juan embodies a restless creative spirit—equally at home constructing intricate sonic landscapes as he is igniting a packed room with percussive force.
