Just two years into their meeting of minds, Ryan Dickinson and Ultan Burke’s sound as Otosan is already unmistakeable – deep, melodic and purpose-built for big rooms. But it’s the Aussie/NZ combo’s vocal hooks that stay with you.

So how did an Australian and an Irishman who met in New Zealand become one of house music’s hottest properties? Introduced by a mutual friend in 2017, they forged their sound making bootlegs of French house classics and hip-hop anthems. Then came the name. They typed “dad bod” into Google, the Japanese translation came up as Otosan, and a new force in dance music was born.

Otosan’s honour roll in that short time is already impressive, with recent highlights including the duo’s debut single Do You Feel It clocking over 1.5 million Spotify streams, their remix of Shaun Warner’s Chasing spent four weeks in the US Billboard ‘Dance Club Songs’ Chart, Lights with vocalist Metoyer received a spot add, multiple spins and favourable reviews on triple j and their Latest track ‘Lose It All’ hitting top 10 on the Aria club charts in Australia and NZ Hot single charts in NZ.

​Signed to TMRW Music (formerly Ministry of Sound Australia) and with a weekly radio show on George FM, there’s much more to come from this electrifying duo – and you just know the vocal hooks will be worth waiting for.
