UK DJ and producer Brad Littler, known as OCULA, has become a notable presence in the melodic house scene over the past few years. After releasing several albums on deadmau5's label, mau5trap, this Staffordshire-based producer gained attention for his melodic style, characterized by vibrant and warm elements. OCULA has also become a recognized figure on This Never Happened’s roster. In 2023, he performed at all three of Lane 8’s Summer Gatherings, each attended by over 10,000 people, and played at all of the TNH Presents shows in Europe. He was also the opening act for seven stops on Le Youth's U.S. Fall Tour. Some of OCULA’s tracks have been remixed by Gabriel & Dresden, Le Youth, and Lane 8, and have appeared on labels such as Armada, Anjunabeats, and Spinnin' Deep. In 2022, OCULA released his debut album Crossroad, which reflects on the doubts and challenges new artists often face, and the importance of pushing through difficult moments. The album includes collaborations with lyricists Phillip Larue, MAVICA, and Richard Walters, exploring an emotional journey through sound that illustrates the evolution of OCULA's music. OCULA currently has over 250,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
