Redemption (Sample)

Rob Ótico is a Bristol-based DJ and producer blending techno, progressive and psytrance into powerful sets defined by deep basslines and explosive breakdowns. 

After a life-changing accident and an eight-year hiatus, he returned to the stage with a glowing prosthetic and an even stronger drive, performing alongside international heavyweights including John 00 Fleming, Jay Lumen and Eats Everything. 

Today, he’s recognised for high-energy performances and is one of the most recognisable characters on the dancefloor.

Sound Designer, Sound Engineer, and Eclectic Electronic Music DJ/Producer from Italy. 

My main focus as an artist is what I like to call 'Cinematic Bass Music,' a mix of influences from deep, dark cinematic soundtracks and heavy underground bass music, with special attention on sound design and sonic explorations.

HydraTek is the name that summarizes my artistic vision:
'Hydra' recalls the mythology and is epitomized by an aggressive, distinctive sound that’s become my signature in both sound design projects and electronic music productions;
’Tek’ is about my continuous research for high-tech and futuristic sonic explorations, trying to push
electronic music forward to explore new frontiers.

The different 'heads' of the hydra are a metaphor for my eclecticism. The two polarities in the name can sometimes be found in a harsh contrast between delicate, emotive melodies and twisted, abrasive basslines.

With a strong influence and passion for modern film soundtracks, I strive to provide a concept and storytelling inside my music, even inside club-oriented tracks.

My current production style involves a combination of Dark Techno with a distinct cinematic influence, in which I like to insert melodic, emotional, deep, and a hint of brighter elements.
