The 600-capacity club coined its name from the Portuguese word "Oblíquo" which means a “shifted perspective”. The space has also been fitted with a soundsystem from Brazilian company 4VIAS Professional Audio, alongside equipment by B&C Speakers.

Announcing the news of the venue's opening on Instagram yesterday, Mochakk said: "OBLIQO is a project I’ve been working on for a while and keeping secret from you guys."
