Known by its phonetic spelling and otherworldly aesthetic, the visual art and music project known as /ˈloosid/ first appeared in late 2014 with several rapid releases, including a dreamy remix of John Mayer’s cover of “Free Fallin'” which rapidly garnered much support and a substantial following. Since then, the futuristic project has remained cloaked in mystery while developing an unmistakable yet undefinable style that bends genres as much as it bends minds. With flowing bass-heavy rhythms and warped percussions oozing vibes of musical surrealism, the project has been tapped to apply that style to The Chainsmokers’ “Roses”, Galantis’ “Gold Dust”, Dropout’s “Slowly”, and Don Diablo’s “Universe”. The single “I Want U” was picked up as the first release on Big Beat’s White Label in late 2015.

Yotto
Otto is Yotto, and Yotto is Otto.
He began his musical career at 12 years old, his brilliant young mind quickly living up to his age by creating rather fuzzy music with a piano and old synthesizer. Born and raised in Helsinki, Finland, the son of an ex-rocker, he grew up in a house full of far better tunes, ranging from blues, to classic rock, to disco. With the blessings of the gods, something rather awful would soon enough turn into Something Good.
His personal tastes developed by digging through music at the public library, drawing those crucial first inspirations from legendary acts like Moby, Orbital and The Chemical Brothers. As he grew, skateboard culture drew him into harder rock acts Iron Maiden and Manic Street Preachers. Dance music began with Royksopp, which led to a love of the early progressive trance and house pioneers like Sasha, John Digweed, System F/Ferry Corsten, Way Out West and Chicane.
10 years ago, Otto discovered FL Studio. Over the next decade he went to school and made music with friends, all while developing a deeper knowledge of house music through pioneers like Kevin Saunderson, Kerri Chandler, Toddy Terry, Cajmere, Masters At Work and Ian Pooley. Originally noticed by Above & Beyond and Anjunadeep through his work on his Something Good alias, eventually he struck up a friendship with Pierce Fulton, which led to a remix of the huge hit “Kuaga” that was released on CR2 Records at the end of 2014.
Yotto started releasing with Anjuna in June of 2015 with the tracks Azzurro and Memento, the tunes garnered support from a range of stars, from Gorgon City to Tiesto. Since then he has remixed Above & Beyond’s “Counting Down The Days,” while continuing to release on Anjunadeep with his acclaimed ‘Wondering’ EP picking up support from BBC Radio 1, SiriusXM and from tastemaker DJs like Lane 8, The Magician and Kidnap Kid. Yotto’s ability to cross genres and labels is what sets him apart as an artist, his diversity and refusal to be defined is what makes him one of the most appealing new artists in dance music.
His last release of 2015, “Personal Space,” was selected by Pete Tong as his Essential New Tune on November 20th. The accompanying track “Mulholland 99” was also featured on Tong’s Radio 1 show. The tracks received support from a truly eclectic selection of renowned names, including Carl Craig, Danny Tenaglia, Dusky, Kidnap Kid, Lane 8 and Tensnake.
2016 started off with two huge remixes. First, a banging rework of RÜFÜS “Like An Animal,” another Essential New Tune on Tong’s BBC Radio 1 show, followed by a remix of Coldplay’s massive hit “Adventure of a Lifetime.” Originals “Aviate” and “Crosswalk” on Anjunadeep have garnered support from Above & Beyond, Pete Tong, Phil Taggart, Sasha, Laurent Garnier, Tiesto and Mark Knight. “Aviate” marked Yotto’s 3rd Essential New Tune.
Most recently, July 2016 saw Yotto release “The Owls” on Anjunadeep to widespread attention and acclaim, and in a short matter of time the single has proved to be his most widely supported track yet. Pete Tong selected the track as Essential New Tune, Yotto’s 4th, plus renowned tastemaker Annie Mac selected the tune as Hottest Record in the World on her radio show. “The Owls” is the first installment in a three part series of releases.

Danger
As a child, I grew up sitting in front of a computer by myself. That is where I learnt about music; playing video games and watching endless reruns of cartoons and American TV shows. Television gave me shelter when I was alone, nursed me with Hollywood’s mythologies. It guided me through nameless countries; with it I brought down colossuses and climbed mountains. I preached its beliefs. But when I grew up, all my heroes died.
Today, I still come to mourn in deserted movie theatres. There, lights flash before my eyes. But I don’t feel anything in face of the latest blockbusters and their visual explosions, these chaotic clusters where Mechas and Kaijus pile up in between fights under the rain, tsunamis and apocalyptic scenes… Yet I feel numb, except for the roaring sub-basses that fill the void of cinemas. My music is for those who, like me, have grown up amongst the ruins of blockbusters. For them my bass trembles and my synths screech.
But I know that beyond this digital coldness lie other horizons, other possibilities.
