A sample of my forthcoming track

An old fashioned dirty acid techno track with a bubbling bassline and a clap which slaps you around the face.

Happy Clapper

Rob Ótico is a Bristol (UK) based DJ and producer with an exceptional talent for weaving between genres. Centring on techno, his sound also pulls from progressive, hard and psy trance blending gorgeous breakdowns with driving basslines and gut punching drops.

His love affair with all things electronic began from an early age from playing on decks at his local youth centre to spending his student loan on a set of Numark BluDog’s. Rob Ótico was a natural on the decks landing DJ gigs playing at renowned venues Club X, Hippo Club, Purple Turtle and for historic brand Ripsnorter. At this time he was known for his hard dance style playing alongside legendary names Mark EG and Uberdruck.

Unfortunately, Rob Ótico’s DJ career came to a grinding halt after a horrific bike accident, resulting in his right leg being amputated above the knee. Rob experienced complications adjusting to life without his leg, which led him to hang up the headphones. 
However, a combination of Rob Ótico’s burning passion for dance music and advances in medicine allowed him to begin walking again after 8 years. He then hosted his own club night which incredibly he managed to warm up for John 00 Fleming during his post-op recovery period, putting blood, sweat and tears into the performance which has been a career highlight to date.

Whether behind the decks or on the dancefloor, Rob brings a massive amount of infectious energy and character wherever he goes, which is why (along with his glowing prosthetic leg), he has become one of the most recognisable people on the scene

Dave's journey into the world of music ignited when a friend's brother introduced him to Realistic belt-drive turntables, sparking a deep desire to become a DJ. 
In the early '90s, Dave and his friends helped run Sumo's, a nightclub dedicated to hosting top DJs from across the UK, featuring names like Stu Allen, Mickey Finn, and Easygroove. Alongside his DJ responsibilities, Dave curated the light show, showcasing his experimental approach to timing and showmanship.

Venturing into the South West scene, Dave and his friends successfully organized several free parties, garnering attention through a BBC2 documentary, 'Close up West.' Dave's mixing skills gained recognition, earning him warm-up slots for renowned artists like Nick Warren, Carl Cox, and The Producer.

Driven by a passion for a full-time career in music, Dave completed a music technology course at Westcliffe College, Weston-Super-Mare, securing a Higher National Diploma in music technology. This marked the beginning of Dave's journey into music production, and in 1998, he joined Orca, a prominent West Country dance music act, captivating large crowds with original tracks played by various artists.

Since teaming up with Kevin Lloyd in 2002 as Analoglife, Digital Whale  and E-Lab Rat, Dave and Kev have consistently produced a stream of successful original tunes and remixes for labels, artists, and DJs, earning airplay on Radio 1 and Kiss 100. Dave's engineering prowess took center stage in the creation of the album 'The Sounding - Legends & Tales of Dolphins and Whales.'

Now, recognising the evolving musical landscape, Dave, alongside his longtime music partner Kev, has embraced change. While Kev delves into exceptional DnB, Dave, having stepped up to the challenge of going it alone, is set to release a series of up-tempo, cranking house tunes, showcasing his adaptability and continued commitment to the ever-changing beats of the music scene.  Thanks for all the support !!
