Nadī x Otus - "Less Talk/ More Talk" EP

Otus x Nadī - Radio/Mixes

Otus - Rez [Scuffed]

Kicking off Dream Diary’s first singles club entry is Otus (Aka Sebastian Cole) making his debut release for Dream Diary Records, with his single Anla. Seb has spent the last 3 years developing his skills as a sound designer and producer, boasting textural depth in his music. During his last year at Uni he joined Octagon London Studios as an intern and has since gone on to work as the Label Coordinator for Dream Diary Records. He has refined his sonic pallet to present a mixture of intricate grooves and vast soundscapes with a mature ear for production. Alongside his dedication to producing unique dance music,

Otus has developed himself as a very adept DJ having played in clubs across the U.K. Since his move to London in 2019 he was scouted by Submit UK to be a part of their monthly residency in Shoreditch, where he’s been able to further hone his craft whilst test driving new productions. Anla takes you on a journey into left-field techno, drum n bass and deep ambient sound scapes. The opening idea was born from an exploration into DD’s modular synth racks and distortion pedals. From here, the intricate beat, supported by the distorted percussive bass line flows into the ambient mid section which lifts the atmosphere into a whole different space, reminding us of break downs from artists such as Floating Points and Jon Hopkins.

As smoothly as we entered this sudden sense of suspension we are dropped back into the track with a real unity from all the elements that had been presented up until this point. Fizzing noises, pulsating pads, glitched up slices of distortion and hypnotic break beats close out the
track with a sense of flare and precision. Whilst still only 23, Otus is a very exciting prospect who deserves much attention.

Otus - Juniper EP out now on Slump Recordings!

Purchase Vinyl +Digital here: https://slumprecordings.bandcamp.com/album/slump004-juniper-ep 

Otus (aka Sebastian Cole) readies his next solo EP on Baby Rollén’s Slump Recordings imprint. A two track release oozing with musical expression and originality. Exploring the realms of melody, harmony and dissonance - the Brixton-based producer and DJ pulls on influences from 20th-century minimalism in his composition, to contemporary studio techniques with a distinct aptitude towards synths and programming throughout this rich 2-track EP.

Otus on making Juniper EP - “The concept for this EP came from wanting to create a release using predominately one synth, to see how far I could push one bit of equipment to create a whole EP, I chose an ARP 2600 clone to try this. The original demo of the A-side ‘Juniper’ was written in a couples hours with all the synth lines recorded in one continuous take. With this EP I wanted to make something that would connect with people on a more emotional level, really take people on a journey. The B-side Zinnia was written with the same intention. I tried to make it into a proper techno track but as soon as I removed the kick it gave the melodic elements more space to breath and move in different ways, even with out the kick drum you can still build tension like a dance track and give people a chance to take in the moment.”

Otus - April 2023

UK Bass/ UKG / Techno Mix #2

LITE starts its journey into the 2-track world with an alluring South-London collab. This co-production debut from Nadī and Otus features two rave-ready rollers, crossing over cultural influences and offering two moods of liquidity. The A side Less Talk is loaded with heavy drum cuts, whilst the B side, More Talk is a nostalgic drum scattered footwork track.

The EP is an ode to dusted jungle and drum & bass, it also takes inspiration from the sonics of Bangladeshi folk music and blends ethereal vocals with western genres. The dreamlike, celestial mood of both tracks easily lends itself to home listening too.

This project seeks to showcase a mix of footwork and breaks with western drums, Carnatic vocals and thumping 808s, whilst paying homage to the Bengali Language Movement 1956 and the strife for language to be accepted.
