Y-Otis

In Y-OTIS, Otis Sandsjö expresses his affinity with hip-hop and electronica. The Swedish-born jazz musician formed the band in Berlin, where he currently lives. The style has been described as audio mosaic, where it seems as if sounds are continuously cut up and sampled. The recent album Y-OTIS TRE features London-based keyboardist/producer Dan Nicholls, who has previously collaborated with drum and bass pioneers Goldie and Squarepusher.

Otis Sandsjö knows the ins and outs of the saxophone, but in Y-OTIS his melodic playing always serves the greater whole. He previously played our venue with Lucia Cadotsch Speak Low, also alongside Petter Eldh. This Swedish bassist could be heard on our stage in bands such as Enemy, Punkt.Vrt.Plastik and Koma Saxo. Drummer Jamie Peet also plays here regularly, for example in the bands of  Tony Roe, Jameszoo and Jasper Høiby.
