A captivating musical cosmos of jazz, hip-hop, and electronica.


Otis Sandsjö – initiator and mastermind behind the band Y-OTIS – moved from his native Sweden to Berlin, where he developed his own distinctive style. This "audio mosaic sound" skillfully and with a keen sense of dynamics and connections blends micro-moods and elements from various genres into a dazzling new musical picture.
Sandsjö's hypnotic saxophone riffs, subtly and fluidly repeating, intertwine to create a vibrant whole that never bores and alternates with airy, delicate, long-drawn-out soundscapes. Dan Nicholls on keyboards and synthesizers further transforms the expressive melodies and underlays them with spacey harmonies. Petter Eldh and Jamie Peet lay down a rhythmic foundation with flowing, atmospheric beats that perfectly carry this fragmented sound of complex soundscapes.
The band feels like a single living organism of sonic layers, sound clusters, effects, and smooth rhythms, drawing the audience into attentive listening. No one wants to miss a nuance of this fine, sophisticated, and multifaceted music that captivates and touches until the very last note.
