ting fresh and innovative experiences. This collaborative spirit breathes life into productions like the “Plus One EP” and “Candy22”, where elements of old- school Psytrance meet with Brazilian drums and UK Garage notes.


“I really enjoy collaborating with fellow artists. It’s always been a seamless and enjoyable process for me. I find it truly fascinating to combine different perspectives on music, resulting in the creation of something exceptionally cool, innovative, and fresh.”


In an era where ‘groove’ is hailed as essential, Øtta views it not as a trend, but as the lifeblood that makes bodies move. The artist is elated to witness a new generation embracing groovier, funkier sounds, but maintains that music’s essence transcends trends.


“Around three years ago, someone in the industry shared a sentiment with me, along the lines of: “Groove is fundamental, whether you produce at a slow, fast, or hard tempo—whatever


need groove because it’s what gets the body moving.” While I can’t recall the exact phrasing, it resonated deeply with me. It prompted a shift in how I perceive and engage with music.”


“In my view, Groove isn’t a passing trend; it’s an essential element, timeless and vital. While I’ve come across a wave of emerging artists exploring groovier, funkier, and sexier sounds, which brings me great joy, I firmly believe there will always be room for both harder and groovier styles, as well as lots of other interpretations. Music should transcend trends—it’s about artistic expression in all its diverse forms.”


Navigating the digital realm, Øtta acknowledges the duality of social media. It’s a powerful tool for artists to share their vision, yet its rapid pace and potential for manipulation present challenges. The artist advocates for authenticity, condemning the trend of prioritizing social media presence over musical prowess.


“Social media is a buzzing topic in the music industry right now, with everyone talking about it. I believe there are plenty of positives to gain from social platforms when used as a tool to help artists promote their work and connect
