Oscar Allison, a.k.a Grouch is from Aotearoa, New Zealand. Making music since late 1999, Grouch was producing experimental psychedelic dub, down-tempo and DnB. In 2006, he started playing at outdoor festivals, and started writing more and more trance. Grouch's music has constantly evolved over time, and now includes various genres: from techno to minimal, dubstep, psychedelic and progressive trance, he also crosses these genres uniquely. With a long-standing background in percussion, the Grouch experience is a profound and cheeky amalgamation of minimal, tribal percussive elements and intricate and phat stomping basslines. With an incredibly distinctive style, Grouch’s productions are multi-layered, yet so clean that there is no room for any loose ends. Grouch has played extensively at music festivals and clubs throughout Australia and New Zealand, and more recently also in India. Since his debut album "The Moof is Rooving" on A-List Records in 2006, he has released several tracks on different labels, including Cosmic Conspiracy Records, Zenon records and Native Harmonics records. He currently has another album set for release on Up Records, and plenty of other VA releases to look out for in the near future.

Oscar loves foods like sardines with chocolate sauce. He is very close with his pet worm, Slimey, and his girlfriend, Grungetta. Oscar has a pet elephant, Fluffy, who lives in his trashcan. Underneath Oscar's gruff exterior, he has a heart of gold. More than a monster, Oscar is an absolutely certifiable grouch. Being happy makes him angry, which in turn makes him happy, which makes him angry, then happy, then angry well, you get the idea. Seemingly rotten to the core, like a lot of grouches, much to his disappointment, Oscar actually has a heart of gold.
A disgruntled individual who lives in a trash can. This character obviously portrays the plight of the homeless in today's urban environment. Despite his constant interactions with those around him, he is still labeled as a "grouch." Perhaps if someone offered him a shower and a "leg up" he could get a job and afford some government housing.
