Bio
Having blazed a trail with a fistful of well received singles and a compelling live show, Otzeki herald the release of their debut album “Binary Childhood” with a new single ‘Pay The Tax’’ now online. Otzeki is a project built around balance and duality. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the yin and yang of its members, cousins Mike Sharp (vocal, guitar) and Joel Roberts (keys, Ableton). In 2014 they experienced separate, but synchronised, spiritual awakenings in Berlin. They had ventured to the Techno capital separately, both unaware that that they were there the same week and even at the same club on the same night. They began a near scholarly exploration of electronic artists, taking in the work of Ricardo Villalobos and Rhadoo along with his Romanian influences and preoccupation for a more sound design based approach to composition. The result is their uncompromising debut LP, Binary Childhood. It’s an album driven by rhythm, that takes their previous use of electronic loops and infuses them with more organic sounds and live percussion.
