I love this review of my new track 😍

Bristol-based DJ and producer Rob Ótico has always had a passion for electronic music, even when life has taken unexpected turns. A DJ since the late 1990s, he was earning a reputation across Bristol and London before a devastating traffic accident in 2004 resulted in the loss of his right leg abov...

Some incredible shots of last weeks Omnium with Luis M, Maciana, Neurodriver & Rob Ótico taken by Tiny Tog

-- A personal note from Rob Ótico --

Not going to lie, by the timme event day had come around, I was drained.
The stress, financial commitments, having to deal with the airline cancelling Luis' flights the week before the event - I was ready to jack it all in and was in the mindset this would be the last event I put on.

As soon as I picked up Luis & Marcia, things began to change. The conversations in the car, the support offered by both of them and bless her, Marcia still coming despite having a very badly injured foot meaning she could barely stand/walk.
The passion these guys have for the scene really inspire me more, both as an artist and a promoter.

Then the first people started to turn up, the club began to fill, the energy began to rise and the night became someting special.
It was special because what you all made it special.
As the night went on, the stress turned to joy, the doubts slowly turned to determination and by the end of the night I had some many people asking when the next one would be.

The fire was lit under my ass - there would be another!

I really want to thank everyone that came, everyone that supported both me and the night, I want to thank Graham (Sutekh/Geomatrix) for creating such an amazing ambience in the club, I want to thank Charlie and his team for an absolutely top quality sound system and I want to thank all the DJ's.

The messages from all the DJs afterwards really .... I honestly don't know how to describe how they made me feel, so all i will say is - wow, and thank you!

What was created last week reignited my dream to create a quality techno night in Bristol and gave me so much energy to do so!
Within a matter of days I've gone from "never again" to already booking the headliner for Omnium ft ? in April!

While I may bring all the elements together, the night would be nothing without all of you so thank you!

Here's to the next one, and beomcing bigger and better with each edition!

As always, until next time, take care of yourselves, and each other

My new track "Coffee Bowl" is out on 9th October.

The idea for Coffee Bowl came from an unexpected moment whilst I was atending a retreat in Mallorca with Suru. I was having a coffee with some of the other retreat-goers when I noticed the sound of the Nespresso machine. Someone was also playing some himilayan singing bowls in the distance and my ears were well and truly tweaked.

Those combination of sounds became the foundation of Coffee Bowl.
The opening synth line is actually the Nespresso machine, and with the addition of the singing bowls the story was complete.

Designed to be an opener to a set, it reflects a normal day - coffee first (always coffee first!), a quick meditation and then I get on with my day.

Available to pre-save now (https://ditto.fm/coffee-bowl) and available on Beatport from the 9th!

Well last night at TRiBE of FRoG will live in memory for a very, very long time. Huge kudos to all the competition winners who performed exceptionally - congratulations 💪

For me personally, taking over the helm from was a big moment. I've followed Dom for years, and last time we played in the same line up was when I warmed up for him at Omnium Bristol last year.
Last night he had the room rocking the entire time, and for me to start my set with one of my own tracks knowing the standard of his productions - not going to lie I was nervous.

However, the tribes response was amazing and their energy never dropped, even though I kept pushing and pushing, taking them into harder and more driving sounds.... It got proper sweaty in there that's for sure 🤣

This was one of those sets that not only did both me and the crowd enjoy fully, but this meant so much more to me last night than normal.

To play for Frogs on their birthday for the first time, more or less 3 years after playing my first time in Spain for them, knowing that the anniversary of Donna Rana 's death is today,and how much she helped influence my decision to chase my dream.... I'm celebrating Frogs 26th birthday, I'm celebrating my own success(es) and I'm also celebrating her life as well.

So much gratitude to Jason, Chris, Donna, Koh, Pod and Zac - all of whom have played/are playing a part in my dream becoming my reality.... Thank you to each and every one of you.

And thank you to everyone I see on the dancefloor. Your energy and support..... I really don't know what that to say apart from thank you, and see you soon x

I'm really excited to be debuting some new tracks at my upcoming events, including the one in the background, "Massive."

I’m so grateful for the momentum this year and for everyone who’s supported me in so many ways. Can’t wait to see what 2027 brings - and to catch you on the dance floor soon!

Two versions of my new track "Enduring Spirit".
Both special in their own way, each with their own place on the dancefloor.

The Original mix is a tough slab of PsyTech, Whilst the Acid mix sits between Peaktime & Psy.

Have a listen and let me know which one you connect with most.
