Rob Ótico

Had the pleasure of meeting whilst I'm Ibiza, and he did me the honour of giving my current work in progress a once over.

I always finding interesting listening to the live stories of the pioneers of techno, and how it has changed and evolved over the years, but still remains very true to its roots.

Back again in for a week off music production with &

Looking forward to learning some more techniques, including how to make my acid sound more filthy... Can never have enough filth 😈

Working work to get momentum going and to get this real life cyborg to have music more and more central in my life.

Getting started each day with a morning swim, which is definitely more bracing than you'd expect 🥶 However it just makes my morning coffee feel even more welcome 😁

This Saturday I have the privilege of playing for the legendary Ripsnorter once again, alongside Tim Samsara, Robots With No Soul, Eeens and the man who started this phenomenal night all those many, many moons ago DJ Pod

With the announcement that the Fox Inn will be closing, this could quite possibly be the final Ripsnorter, and if it is we're going out with a bang!

I'm planning to have quite a few nods to the standout sounds of hard trance over the last 30 years during my set but staying bang up to date, and of course a very healthy dose of acid thrown in.

There are still a few tickets for sale, so grab yours and be part of the incredible era of Ripsnorter

Next weekend, absolutely 'avinit!

Can't wait to be back with the 'Snorter crew, playing for the night that made such an impact on my musical journey!

What to expect? Well, here's a short snippet of a conversation between me and boss man DJ Pod

Me: "so I can play a balls to the wall set"
Podster: "Yep"

Expect a lot of acid hard trance from me. If you remember the bunker at the Depot in Bristol, and the harder end of the main room ... Yeah that's the vibe 😁😁
Always an amazing bunch at rippers ❤️❤️

A few tickets are still available so make sure you grab them when you can as they are strictly limited!

The Rippers are avinit one more time!

So my thoughts on LFG.tv after tonight's stream.... It's bloody awesome!

So as from next month I won't be streaming to YouTube nor Facebook in the future because of the constant copyright strikes resulting in being muted.

LFG is such an easy platform to use, easy to find djs playing the music you want and the live track id is a great touch.

May actually start doing fortnightly streams 😁

Absolutely delighted to say that not only is Ripsnorter back, but that I've been invited to play as well!

Ripsnorter was one of the stalwarts of the hard trance/hard house scene in the legendary Depot club in Bristol, and had a huge part to play in the careers of several, including none other that .

Also largely responsible for the direction of my musical taste in the early 2000s, finding the harder end of hard trance, this influence can still be heard in my sets today. So it's an absolute honour to play once again, and I can't wait to dip into the hard trance sound once more.

Tickets are strictly limited so get on it!
Time to get snorted 😁

SNORTA!!!! IYKYK

Details coming this weekend 😍😍

Today marks my 21st anniversary - the day I lost my leg. The day when everything changed for me.

Up to this day in 2004 I was a normal two legged racer, a DJ who was building some momentum in Bristol and generally a cheeky 24 year old loving life.

In a split second a head on crash with a car changed everything, and due to not being knocked out, a day that has left several "interesting" images burned into my psyche.

For those who knew me before 'Rob' was born, the last 2 decades have been a period of rebuilding, breaking down, rebuilding and then rebuilding some more.

Rob Ótico was only born a few years ago thanks to the amazing work by who literally and physically rebuilt me, and my constant love of dance music has led me to the decks again.

Since arriving home after the latest edition of Ozora Festival official a couple of weeks ago, a new sense of vigor is building and a new determination to give the next 12 months everything I have to try and break through.

Life has taught me you never know what's ahead, but it's up to you how you respond. And being the stubborn fu***rs I am, I'm going to keep going head first through walls until I achieve my dream.

Everything is temporary in life, but not music. Music stays with you through the good times and the bad. Through music you meet friends, some of those friends become like family, better than family and music has been the thing that had carried me through the darkest and best times of my life.

So here's to another 12 months of determination, persistence and not giving up.
And with gratitude for everyone who has been with me on this journey and those that are still joining.

Take care of yourselves, and each other because this world will try to chew you up and spit you out. It's up to you how you respond xx
